Abstract:
1. An optical module comprising an optical waveguide and a connector connected with the above optical waveguide, wherein the above optical waveguide comprises a waveguide structure of a lower cladding layer, a patternized core layer and an upper cladding layer; a striking part for positioning is formed of the waveguide structure and is provided at one end part of the waveguide structure; an optical path turning mirror face is formed of the lower cladding layer, the patternized core layer and the upper cladding layer of the waveguide structure, and is provided in the one end part of the waveguide structure, in a position inside of said striking part; an inner wall part, which is brought into contact with the striking part in connecting the optical waveguide to determine a position of the optical waveguide, is provided in the above connector; and the above connector further comprises a cage member and a fixing member, wherein the optical waveguide is provided on the cage member, and the fixing member is positioned overlying the cage member so as to fix the optical waveguide on the cage member by pressing the fixing member on the optical waveguide, when the optical waveguide is positioned on the cage member, wherein the optical module further comprimises a base material, the optical waveguide and the striking part being provided on the base material, and wherein the base material includes a tip part which extends beyond the striking part and away from the optical waveguide, and wherein the fixing member rotates around a rotation shaft from a first position where the fixing member does not press on the optical waveguide, to a second position where the fixing member presses on the optical waveguide, when the optical waveguide is positioned on the cage member: and wherein the fixing member is positioned such that when the fixing member rotates from said first position to said second position, said fixing member presses the tip part downward while pulling the tip part by the rotation.
