Abstract:
1. An optical transmission apparatus comprising: a light source that emits light; an optical waveguide that has at a given end, a mirror surface that reflects the light emitted from the light source, the optical waveguide guiding the light reflected by the mirror surface to another end; a support member to which the light source is attached and that transmits an electrical signal to the light source; and a substrate on which the support member and the optical waveguide are mounted and that transmits the electrical signal to the support member, wherein the support member is fixed to the substrate using a plurality of conductive members that transmit the electrical signal from the substrate to the support member, and that differ in size such that a traveling direction of the light emitted from the light source is inclined toward the given end of the optical waveguide and is, with respect to a normal line of the mirror surface, at an angle that is greater than 45 degrees and that satisfies a condition for complete reflection of light on the mirror surface and a condition for complete reflection of light in the optical waveguide.
