Positioning substrate for an optical device and positioning method using the substrate

摘要

An optical waveguide positioning substrate having a simple construction and which is easy to maintain, and a positioning method using this substrate, which can be applied to various types of optical component having different numbers of optical waveguides. An optical waveguide positioning substrate (1) has an array body (2) provided with an optical component placing part (5) for aligning an optical component (for example an optical fiber cable S) having an optical waveguide (for example an optical fiber F) and a plurality of light-emitting parts (15), illuminating/extinguishing of each of which can be freely selected, disposed at an end of the array body in the length direction of the optical component and aligned in the width direction of the optical component.
