OPTICAL TRANSMISSION STRUCTURE, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME, AND OPTICAL TRANSMISSION MODULE

摘要

Provided are an optical transmission structure having a high degree of flexibility in the design of an optical waveguide and a method for manufacturing the optical transmission structure, and also an optical transmission module. An optical transmission structure includes a main substrate (30), a cladding member (40), and core members (50). The main substrate (30) has a through hole (30a) penetrating therethrough in a thickness direction thereof. The cladding member (40) is disposed inside the through hole (30a) and has a plurality of optical waveguide holes (40a) penetrating therethrough in a thickness direction thereof. The core members (50) are disposed inside the plurality of optical waveguide holes (40a), respectively, and have a refractive index larger than the cladding member (40).
