Optical fiber guides are provided outside a waveguide mounting region of a
supporting substrate. Optical fibers are provided so as to be fitted in
the optical fibers, respectively. In addition, end faces of the optical
fibers and end faces to which a core of an optical waveguide is exposed
are opposed and almost parallel to each other. Furthermore, the end face
to which the core of the optical waveguide is exposed is provided so as
to form an acute angle with a surface of the supporting substrate. Thus,
tip ends of the optical fibers are not likely to be shifted from the core
in a thickness direction of an optical waveguide device.
