ABSTRACT:
In an optical waveguide reduction optical image sensor constituted by a polymeric optical waveguide array having a plurality of cores arranged into a one-dimensional array in a cladding substrate, and a photoelectric conversion element array for detecting light propagating through the polymeric optical waveguide array and converting the detected light into an electrical signal, a hollow thermal expansion suppressing member (jig) is mounted on the joint portion between the polymeric optical waveguide array and the photoelectric conversion element array, and the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the thermal expansion suppressing member in the core array direction of the polymeric optical waveguide array is smaller than that of the polymeric optical waveguide array in the same direction.
