Abstract
An optical waveguide member is inserted into a tubular member. The tubular member is elongated with heating and fusion-bonded to the optical waveguide member. Thus, a formed body is obtained. The formed body is cut into a predetermined length to obtain an optical waveguide member. The tubular member is preferably made of a crystallized glass with crystals deposited therein at least in the state of the formed body.

An optical waveguide component comprising:
- a positioning member heated and elongated in a predetermined direction and having a hole extending in said predetermined direction;
- and
- an optical waveguide member disposed in said hole and fusion-bonded and fixed to said positioning member.
A method of producing an optical waveguide component, comprising:
- preparing a tubular member;
- inserting an optical waveguide member into said tubular member;
- heating and elongating said tubular member to fusion-bond said tubular member to said optical waveguide member so that a formed body is obtained;
- and
- cutting said formed body into a predetermined length.
