Abstract:
1. An optical waveguide module, comprising: an optical waveguide including a core portion and a clad portion covering the core portion; an optical element positioned over the clad portion of the optical waveguide; a circuit board positioned between the optical waveguide and the optical element and having a through-hole formed along an optical path connecting the optical element and the core portion of the optical waveguide; and a sealing component formed in a gap between the optical element and the circuit board and having a lens portion formed in the through-hole such that the lens portion of the sealing component is configured to converge signal light passing though the optical path to a focal point, wherein the optical waveguide has an optical path-converting portion configured to covert an optical path formed in the core portion of the optical waveguide to the optical path connecting the optical element and the core portion of the optical waveguide.
