Abstract
An optical waveguide device includes a substrate, a metal layer arranged on the substrate, at least claddings arranged on the metal layer and in the claddings dents are formed, at least cores arranged in the claddings, whose end faces are exposed on the sides of the dents, for transmitting lights, optically non-transmissive material coating the inside faces of the dents except the sides on which the end faces of the cores are exposed, at least light receiving elements for receiving lights emitted from the end faces of the cores and inputting the lights into light receiving faces of the light receiving elements.
Claims8
An optical waveguide device comprising,
- a substrate,
- a metal layer arranged on said substrate,
- at least one of claddings arranged on said metal layer and in said claddings dents are formed,
- at least one of cores arranged in said claddings, whose end faces are exposed on sides of said dents, for transmitting lights,
- optically non-transmissive material coating the inside faces of said dents except the sides on which the end faces of said cores are exposed,
- at least one of light receiving elements for receiving lights emitted from the end faces of said cores, and
- at least one of mirrors formed in said dents, for reflecting said lights emitted from the end faces of said cores and inputting said lights into light receiving faces of said light receiving elements.
