Waveguide-optical fiber connection structure and waveguide-optical fiber connection method.

摘要

The invention provides an improved simplified waveguide-optical fiber connection structure for connecting a waveguide and an optical fiber. The waveguide-optical fiber connection structure comprises an optical fiber (13), a waveguide substrate (11) having a waveguide (12) integrally formed thereon and having a first guide groove (14) formed thereon adjacent an end portion (12a) of the waveguide (12) for positioning the optical fiber (13) therein, and a fiber substrate (15) provided in an opposing relationship to the first guide groove (14) for cooperating with the first guide groove (14) to hold the optical fiber (13) thereon. The waveguide-optical fiber connection structure can be applied to a waveguide circuit which is employed for optical communication, optical information management and so forth.
