Abstract

A connection structure of the present invention allows an optical waveguide device having a base plate connected to a connecting member to be removably connected not only to an optical connector but also to another optical waveguide device having an identical configuration without resorting to optical axis adjustment. The connection is therefore easy and highly reproducible.
