The present invention has an object to provide an optical device capable of leading out a light propagated through an optical waveguide to a desired substrate side face while maintaining the sufficient power of the light, within a range of limited substrate size. To this end, according to the optical device of the present invention, a groove is formed in the vicinity of an end portion on the optical output side of the optical waveguide, on the substrate on which the optical waveguide is formed, a side wall of the groove is used as a reflecting plane, the light output from the optical waveguide is reflected by the reflecting plane, and the reflected light is emitted from the desired substrate side face.
