OPTICAL CONNECTOR AND OPTICAL LINK APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: An optical connector and an optical link apparatus with the same are provided to install a plurality of guiding pads which guides an optical fiber into an optical waveguide, thereby increasing alignment efficiency. CONSTITUTION: At least one optical waveguide(12) is formed on a photoelectric device IC(10). A guide unit is formed on the photoelectric device IC. The guide unit guides an optical fiber to the optical waveguide wherein the optical fiber is connected to the optical waveguide. Guiding pads(20) are symmetrically formed on the optical waveguide. The guiding pads are thicker than the optical fiber.
