The present invention provides an optical guide holding member having
holding holes in which optical guides are fitted and held. The optical
guide holding member has electric leads buried in a mounting surface on
which the openings of the holding holes are opened. The electric leads
are partly exposed on the mounting surface, and are also exposed on a
side surface crossing the mounting surface. The optical semiconductor
device is electrically connected to the exposed part of electric leads
and is optically coupled with the optical guides.
