An optical path-changing device has a cladding having a first face, a second
face,
and at least one mirror surface; and cores, each core having a first core end surface
exposed at the first face and a second core end surface exposed at the second face,
each core providing a continuous optical path extending from the first core end
surface to the mirror surface, changing in direction at the mirror surface, and
extending to the second core end surface. The first core end surfaces and the second
core end surfaces are arranged two-dimensionally at the first face and the second
face, respectively. First pin insertion apertures on an exterior casing member
accommodating the optical path-changing device provide positional adjustments relative
to the optical axes of the first core end surfaces.
