PCT No. PCT/JP97/00137 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 25, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 25, 1997 PCT Filed Jan. 22, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/27505 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 31, 1997The present invention relates to an optical waveguide module constructed in the structure that can reduce the number of package components for housing an optical waveguide device for optically interconnecting optical fibers and that can protect the optical waveguide device against stress caused by change of ambient temperature and against impact acting from the outside. This waveguide module comprises a reinforcing member directly adhered to a buffer protector covering the optical waveguide device. This reinforcing member is a plate member bent so that the both ends face each other, and it houses the whole of the optical waveguide device covered by the buffer protector in the internal space thereof.
