ABSTRACT:
Transparent parallel planar plates which are members for retaining an optical waveguide are provided erectly in an optical path of light in a transparent vessel in advance. An optical fiber is fixed into the transparent vessel while the optical fiber penetrates the transparent vessel, and an optical sensor is also disposed adjustably. Next, a first photo-curable resin solution is injected into the transparent vessel, and light with a predetermined wavelength for curing is emitted from the optical fiber so that the optical waveguide is self-formed by polymerization reaction. Because the parallel planar plates are transparent, the optical waveguide is formed so as to be extended again from the emission ports of the parallel planar plates. Finally, the optical waveguide is formed so as to reach a bottom surface of the transparent vessel. The optical waveguide has a structure in which the optical waveguide is firmly supported at four points in a forward end surface of the optical fiber, the parallel planar plates and the bottom surface of the transparent vessel. Accordingly, a firm optical waveguide device is formed.
