An optical device comprising a first substrate in which V-grooves are
made, four optical fibers, for example, having a reflective function and
fixed in the V-grooves of the first substrate, an optical element bonded,
through an adhesive layer, onto the optical path of a reflected light at
least generated by the reflective function on the outside of the clad of
each optical fiber, and a second substrate for mounting the optical
element, wherein the second substrate is disposed such that the mounting
surface of the optical element faces the first substrate.
