Light emitting member mounting method and apparatus

A light emitting member mounting apparatus comprising:

• a support member that supports a substrate including at least an optical waveguide member mounted on a base;
• a holding member that holds a light emitting member to be mounted to the substrate and including a light emitting component, and that positionally aligns the light emitting member with respect to the substrate;
• a relative movement suppressing member that suppresses relative movement, with respect to the substrate, of the light emitting member that has been positionally aligned with respect to the substrate;
• and
• a bonding device that melts a bonding material interposed between the substrate and the light emitting member in a state in which relative movement of the light emitting member with respect to the substrate is suppressed by the relative movement suppressing member, and bonds the substrate and the light emitting member together.
