<p>A connector-type optical transceiver includes optical devices (8, 9, 10), a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) optical waveguide (7), and a silicon bench (6) whose upper surface is provided with a U-shaped recesses (7a, 8a, 9a, 10a) for receiving the optical devices (8, 9, 10) and the SOI optical waveguide (7), while being aligned to form optical paths. The SOI optical waveguide (7) includes a silicon substrate (71), a single crystalline silicon layer (73) whose upper surface is provided with waveguide portions (75), and a silica thin layer (72) interposed between the silicon substrate (71) and the single crystalline silicon layer (73) to prevent light passing through the waveguide portions from being diffused. The silicon bench (6) has V-shaped grooves (61) extending longitudinally along the silicon bench (6) and receives guide pins (17) adapted to guide an external connecting terminal (13) to be connected to the silicon bench (6).</p> |
