A planar-mounted optical waveguide transmitter-receiver module, in which a
plurality of separated silicon substrates and a PLC substrate are
hybrid-integrated, is provided. In this module, electrical crosstalk
between the light emitting element side and photo-receiving element side
is reduced, and adhesion area between substrates is decreased. In this
module, a first silicon substrate, on which are mounted a light emitting
element and photo-receiving element, is positioned opposing a second
silicon substrate, in which is formed a V groove, in which an optical
fiber is to be inserted and fixed in place with resin or by other means.
On joining surfaces of the first silicon substrate and joining surfaces of
the second silicon substrate are positioned and fixed in place joining
surfaces on the back face of an optical waveguide (PLC) substrate, in
which is formed an optical waveguide. By this means, the light emitting
element, the photo-receiving element, and the optical fiber inserted into
the V groove are optically aligned with and simultaneously optically
coupled with the optical waveguide of the PLC substrate.
