Abstract:
An optical device includes a substrate. The substrate includes a first optical waveguide component having a first optical waveguide, a pair of first projections in which a gap between side faces thereof varies in a direction along an optical axis of the first optical waveguide, and a first pattern. The optical device includes a second optical waveguide component. The second optical waveguide component includes a second optical waveguide, at least one pair of second projections, and a second pattern. The second pattern and the first pattern are soldered to each other and side faces of the at least one pair of second projections are in contact with the side faces of the pair of first projections, respectively.

Claim (Index 6):
A manufacturing method of an optical device including\n a substrate that includes a first optical waveguide component having a first optical waveguide, a pair of first projections in which a gap between side faces thereof varies along an optical axis of the first optical waveguide, and a first pattern, and a second optical waveguide component that includes a second optical waveguide, at least one pair of second projections, and a second pattern and that is formed in such a manner that side faces of the at least one pair of second projections come into contact with the side faces of the pair of first projections, respectively, when an end face of the second optical waveguide approaches an end face of the first optical waveguide in association with soldering of the second pattern and the first pattern to each other, the method comprising: placing the second optical waveguide component on the pair of first projections of the substrate to arrange the first pattern of the substrate and the second pattern of the second optical waveguide component to be opposed to each other; melting solder between the second pattern and the first pattern, to cause the end face of the second optical waveguide to approach the end face of the first optical waveguide; and waiting until the side faces of the at least one pair of second projections come into contact with the side faces of the pair of first projections, respectively.
