The invention relates to an optical component including an optical fiber with a lens constituted by a single-mode optical fiber and a graded index optical fiber and a method of manufacturing the same. The invention provides an optical component in which an optical fiber with a lens can be accurately mounted on a substrate and which has high performance and highly stable manufacturability. An optical component has three V-shaped grooves for disposing optical fibers. An optical fiber with a lens is disposed in each of the V-shaped grooves. The optical component has a positioning mark using for positioning optical fiber connecting surfaces. The positioning mark extending across the V-shaped grooves in an orthogonal relationship therewith is provided. The positioning mark is formed line a concave groove and is visually perceived as two parallel straight lines when viewed in a direction normal to the surface on which the V-shaped grooves are formed. The optical fiber connecting surfaces are positioned between the two parallel straight lines.

A piezoelectric actuator includes a supporting substrate, a main body having a first piezoelectric laminate, a second piezoelectric laminate, and a displacement portion, and a first elastic layer. The first elastic layer is fixed to the main body so as to connect a lower surface of the first piezoelectric laminate, a lower surface of the second piezoelectric laminate, a side surface of the first piezoelectric laminate, and a side surface of the second piezoelectric laminate. A first region to fourth region of the first elastic layer is fixed to the principal surface of the supporting substrate by a first to fourth bonding portions. A non-bonding surface is not fixed to the principal surface of the supporting substrate.

An optical fiber terminal fitted with an optical isolator comprises an optical fiber, a ferrule which holds the optical fiber in position, and an optical isolator which includes an optical isolator assembly having at least one magneto-optical element and at least one polarizer and means for applying a magnetic field of less than saturation to the magneto-optical element. The fiber, ferrule, and isolator are disposed close to one another and joined integrally. The optical isolator has a maximum outside diameter not more than twice, preferably substantially equal to, the outside diameter of the ferrule.

A method includes a step of stacking a first electrode layer, a piezoelectric layer, and a second electrode layer on a first substrate to form a first laminate; a step of stacking a support layer on a second substrate to form a second laminate; a step of bonding the first and second laminates through an adhesive layer to form a third laminate; a step of removing the first substrate from the third laminate; a step of processing the third laminate in a desired shape; and a step of removing the second substrate. A Young's modulus of the adhesive layer is smaller than a Young's modulus of the piezoelectric layer. Respective Young's moduli of the second electrode layer and the support layer are larger than the Young's modulus of the adhesive layer. The third laminate has no other piezoelectric layer except for the aforementioned piezoelectric layer.

An optical multiplexer/demultiplexer is provided, which is easy to assemble and which can be manufactured with high productivity and a low cost. An optical multiplexer/demultiplxer includes a substrate formed with V-shaped grooves, optical fibers with a lens provided in tight contact with the V-shaped grooves, optical fiber securing plates, a base groove formed across the V-shaped grooves and an optical filter provided in the groove. First and second optical fibers with a lens are provided on either side of the base groove, and a third optical fiber is provided on the other side of the base groove. The optical fibers are provided such that the positions of their ends coincide with edges of the base groove. The third optical fiber with a lens is provided coaxially with the first optical fiber with a lens that is located on the other side of the base groove. The second optical fiber with a lens is provided in a position in which it is in a line symmetrical relationship with the first optical fiber with a lens, the direction perpendicular to the base groove being the axis of symmetry. The ends of the optical fibers with a lens are formed at an angle such that lines normal to the end faces are orthogonal to the base groove.

Optical isolator comprises a ferrule having a through-hole in which an optical fiber is inserted and a groove formed in the ferrule with the optical fiber inserted in the through-hole; and a composite assembly consisting of an optical isolator element composed of a Faraday rotator and a pair of polarizers fixed on opposite surfaces of the Faraday rotator in such manner that the angle between the directions of polarization of the polarizers is at about 45° and a structure reinforcing member having a thickness of filling the groove and surrounding the optical element, said composite assembly being inserted in the groove as a unit. The reinforcing member may be made of the same material as the outer support or formed by a magnet for applying a magnetic field to the Faraday rotator. The isolator element, the magnet and the outer support may have respective reference sides or planes so that the plane of polarization of the incident side of the isolator element is easily determined with respect an outer base or support. Also, the groove portion of the support is mechanically strengthened by the magnet surrounding the optical element.
