Abstract: The present invention provides an optical waveguide device for optical wiring, and a manufacturing method therefor, which provides the advantages that simple and highly accurate connection is possible, the device is low in cost, and it is easily manipulated. The present invention is provided with connectors which are connected to optical fibers in a nonalignment via guide pins, and a polymeric waveguide comprising a film-shaped optical waveguide; the connectors are joined to both ends or to one end of the polymeric waveguide, and the connectors are formed by two connector parts which are arranged in facing position, and in the surfaces of the connector parts which are in facing position, a polymeric waveguide loading groove for loading the polymeric waveguide, and two guide pin loading grooves for loading guide pins are formed, and the polymeric waveguide is sandwiched between the two connector parts, and the polymeric waveguide is joined with the two connector parts and made unitary.

Abstract: An optical waveguide device has connectors connecting in a non-alignment fashion to an optical fiber via guide pins and a polymeric waveguide with a film shaped waveguide. Both ends or one end of the polymeric waveguide are/is connected to the connectors. The polymeric waveguide is sandwiched between the connector parts and this configuration permits easy connection with optical fibers, optical devices, planar optical waveguides and the like with a high degree of accuracy.
