ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a coupling structure of optical fibers and optical waveguides, comprising optical fibers; an optical fiber arranging connector having a first and second members, the optical fibers being sandwiched by the first and second members to be fixed in the optical fiber arranging connector; a waveguide device having a waveguide substrate, optical waveguides being formed on a surface of the waveguide device, ends of the waveguides and ends of being aligned with each other by abutting end faces thereof against each other; an adhesive interposed and set between said end faces, the adhesive being a photo-setting adhesive, the first member being made of a material preventing light having a wavelength capable of setting said adhesive from passing therethrough, and in at least part of a region where the end faces of the optical fiber arranging connector and the waveguide device oppose to each other, at least one of the optical fiber arranging connector and the waveguide device in the vicinity of the end face thereof being made of a light-transmitting material through which light having a wavelength capable of setting the adhesive can pass.
