Optical waveguide module

An optical waveguide module comprising

• an optical waveguide component having an auxiliary connection member connected to an end of an optical waveguide chip, and
• at least one array member for attaching an end of at least one optical fiber to a connection member to be connected to said auxiliary connection member, wherein
• said optical waveguide component and said array member are connected to each other via said auxiliary connection member and said connection member,
• a presser member is disposed to press at least one of said optical waveguide chip and said optical fiber in a direction of connection, and
• an optical waveguide exposed from the end of said optical waveguide chip is in direct contact with a core of said optical fiber exposed from an end of said array member.

An optical waveguide module comprising

• a first array member with a plurality of optical fibers having ends attached to a first connection member,
• a second array member with at least one optical fiber having an end attached to a second connection member, and
• an optical waveguide chip having an input and output end face and an optical waveguide for multiplexing a plurality of optical signals having different wavelengths inputted from a plurality of input ports to output a resulting optical signal from at least one output port,
• said optical waveguide module wherein
• said first array member is bonded with an adhesive to said input end face of said optical waveguide chip,
• an auxiliary connection member is attached to said output end face of said optical waveguide chip,
• said second connection member is connected to said auxiliary connection member,
• said second array member is coupled to said output end face of said optical waveguide chip via said second connection member and said auxiliary connection member,
• a presser member for pressing said auxiliary connection member and said second array member in a direction of connection is disposed across said auxiliary connection member and said second array member, and
• a core of said optical waveguide exposed from said output end face of said optical waveguide chip is in direct contact with a core of said optical fiber exposed from an end of said second array member.
