Abstract:
An optical waveguide device configured to be connected with an optical fiber array connector, the optical waveguide device comprising:an upper substrate and a lower substrate each being provided at a main surface thereof with at least two grooves each extending throughout the substrate in a direction corresponding to a coupling direction of the optical waveguide device to the optical fiber array connector, the upper and lower substrates being bonded to each other in such a fashion that the grooves of the upper substrate face those of the lower substrate, respectively;an optical waveguide portion formed at the main surface of one of the upper and lower substrates within a region defined between the grooves;tubes mounted between the facing grooves of the upper and lower substrates, respectively, each of the tubes having an insertion hole adapted to receive an alignment pin therein; andan adhesive adapted to bond the upper and lower substrates to each other and to bond the tubes to the upper and lower substrates.
