An optical element mounting method includes: illuminating ultraviolet light onto a polymer optical waveguide device; under the ultraviolet light illumination, capturing, by an image pickup device, the polymer optical waveguide device including a light incident/exiting position of a waveguide core; and judging, from a difference between bright and dark in a captured image, that a portion brighter than other portions or a portion darker than other portions is the light incident/exiting position of the waveguide core.

An optical waveguide includes: a center layer including at least two core layers whose edges are on substantially the same plane, and a first cladding layer provided between adjacent core layers; and a second cladding layer provided at least on both of front and rear surfaces of the center layer. At least surfaces of the core layer and the first cladding layer that are in contact with the second cladding layer include at least one resin selected from the group consisting of a resin having a hydroxyl group and a resin containing a silicon-silicon bond at a main chain thereof, and the second cladding layer includes a silicone resin.

摘要:
A production method of an optical waveguide includes: preparing a laminated body that includes a first clad layer and at least a core layer laminated on the first clad layer; forming a light propagating optical waveguide core by cutting the core layer by use of a dicing saw from a side where the core layer is laminated while intruding an edge of a blade portion of the dicing saw into the first clad layer so as to partially cut the first clad layer; and embedding at least a cut portion of the laminated body with a second clad layer.
摘要:
A sub-mount includes a recess for holding a polymer optical waveguide film and recesses for embedding and holding a light emitting element and a light detecting element. The sub-mount further has an adhesive filling groove formed adjacent to respective recesses. When mounting the polymer optical waveguide film, the light emitting element, and the light detecting element onto the sub-mount, an adhesive is accurately applied and is prevented from flowing out as the adhesive filling grooves are provided.
摘要:
An optical waveguide film that can supply power at extremely low cost, and a light transmission and reception module using this film are provided. A macromolecular optical waveguide film is composed of a square-shaped waveguide core which extends in a film length direction, a conductive wires which extends in the film length direction and is arranged in parallel with the waveguide core, and a cladding which surrounds the waveguide core and the conductive wire. The two conductive wires are provided, and the waveguide core is provided between the two conductive wires.
