OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF, OPTICAL PATH CONVERSION COMPONENT, OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE STRUCTURE BODY WITH OPTICAL PATH CONVERSION COMPONENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical waveguide device with which an angular deviation of a reflecting surface is less likely to occur, because of the stable arrangement of an optical oath conversion component, and with which the light transmission loss is small.;SOLUTION: The optical waveguide device 10 includes a support substrate 11, an optical waveguide structure body 41, and the optical path conversion component 52. The support substrate 11 has a substrate main surface 12. The optical waveguide structure body 41 has clads 42, 44 surrounding cores 43, 43 as optical paths for transmitting an optical signal and is supported on the substrate main surface 12. The optical path conversion component 52 consists of a pedestal part 53 and a light-reflecting part 54. The pedestal part 53 has an underside 56 placed on the substrate main surface 12. The light-reflecting part 54 is formed integral with the pedestal part 53 and has reflecting surfaces 55 inclined with respect to the underside 56.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
