A V-shaped profile is on both sides of a silicon substrate. A light emitting element is mounted on one side and a light receiving element is mounted on the opposite side. An optical connector is constituted by molding integrally an optical fiber for transmission coupled to the light emitting element with an optical fiber for light reception coupled to the light receiving element. The respective extreme end surfaces of the optical fibers on the molded sides of the optical fibers for transmission as well as for light reception are served for light transmitting and receiving ends. When a thickness of the substrate is equal to a distance between both the optical fibers for transmission and reception as well as to a thickness between both the optical fibers contained in an optical connector, no polymer light waveguide for adjusting a distance between fibers is required.
