Abstract:
An optical processing device includes a semiconductor optical device, and an optical device provided on the semiconductor optical device. The optical device includes one or more optical fibers and a holder having a supporting block, a reflecting plate, and an intermediate layer. The supporting block has first to third end surfaces at one end. The first end surface extends from a bottom surface of the holder to claddings of the optical fibers. The second end surface extends along an axis intersecting the first end surface. The third end surface is oblique with respect to the axis at an angle greater than zero degrees and less than 90 degrees. The optical fibers have facets exposed at the third end surface. The intermediate layer embeds roughness in the exposed facets. It has a refractive index comparable to that of the claddings of the optical fibers.

Claim (Index 7):
An optical processing device comprising:\n a semiconductor optical device including an optical coupling element and an optical processing element, the optical processing element being connected to the optical coupling element, and an optical device provided on the semiconductor optical device, the optical device comprising:\n one or more optical fibers each including a core and a cladding surrounding the core; and \n a holder, the holder including: \n a supporting block having one end including a first end surface, a second end surface, and a third end surfaces, an other end, and a supporting portion supporting the one or more optical fibers; \n a reflecting plate provided on the third end surface, the reflecting plate having a reflective surface; and \n an intermediate layer including an optical resin provided between the third end surface and the reflecting plate, wherein \n the supporting portion extends in a direction of a first an axis from the one end to the other end, \n the first end surface extends from a bottom surface of the holder to claddings of the one or more optical fibers along a first reference plane that intersects the axis, \n the second end surface and a lateral surface of the reflecting plate extend along a second reference plane in which lies the axis, \n the third end surface extends along a third reference plane that is oblique with respect to the axis at an angle greater than zero degrees and less than 90 degrees, \n the claddings of the one or more optical fibers are disposed at the second end surface, \n the optical fibers have respective facets exposed in the third end surface, the intermediate layer fills a gap between the facets of the one or more optical fibers and the reflective surface of the reflecting plate to thereby embed roughness of the facets exposed at the third end surface, and \n the intermediate layer has a refractive index comparable to a refractive index of the claddings of the one or more optical fibers, and \n wherein the optical coupling element is coupled to one of the one or more optical fibers of the optical device through the second end surface.
