Optical waveguide device integrated module and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A semiconductor laser and an optical waveguide device with an optical waveguide formed at a surface of its substrate are provided on a submount. The semiconductor laser and the optical waveguide device are mounted with an active layer and a surface at which the optical waveguide is formed facing the submount, respectively. The submount is combined with the semiconductor laser or the optical waveguide device to form one body using an adhesive with a spacer, which maintains a substantially uniform distance therebetween, being interposed therebetween, so that position adjustment in the height direction can be made automatically and mounting can be carried out with high-precision optical coupling. Thus, an optical waveguide device integrated module and a method of manufacturing the same are provided, in which a semiconductor laser and a planar optical waveguide device are mounted with their positions in the height direction controlled with high precision.
