Abstract: An optical element that is optically coupled to light inlet/outlet ends of an optical fiber is disposed on a base placed near the light inlet/outlet ends of the optical fiber. Moreover, a rod-like reinforcing member has an integral structure fixed into a first hole formed in the optical fiber and a second hole formed in the base 102.

Abstract: A photoelectric fiber includes a fiber including a core through which light is guided; an electrical unit formed continuously with the fiber, the electrical unit being configured to house a photoelectric conversion chip including a photoelectric conversion element; and an external electrode formed on a front surface of at least one of the fiber or the electrical unit, wherein the photoelectric conversion chip is optically connected to the core and electrically connected to the external electrode.

Abstract: In an optical component, a part of a waveguide type optical device is fixed to a convex portion of a mount. The optical component includes an optical device support base, a pressure member and a pressure support base. The optical device support base is interposed between the mount and the presser member enough to be slidable in a direction parallel to surfaces of the mount and the presser member.

Abstract: In an optical component configured to fix to a mount an optical device chip in which waveguide type optical devices having different thermal expansion coefficients are butt-jointed, deterioration in reliability due to thermal stress is suppressed. The optical component (300) comprises an optical device chip (310) including an LN waveguide (311), a first PLC waveguide (312), a second PLC waveguide (313), and a fiber alignment member (314), a mount (320), and optical fibers (330). Each of connection faces between the first PLC waveguide and the fiber alignment member is configured as an tilted structure, and each of connection faces between the LN waveguide, and the first and second PLC waveguides is configured as a right-angled structure. In the right-angled structure, the connection faces are connected by an adhesive having a lower Young's modulus than that of an adhesive used on the connection faces of the tilted structure.
