Abstract
The present invention relates to an optical waveguide module constructed in the structure that can reduce the number of package components for housing an optical waveguide device for optically interconnecting optical fibers and that can protect the optical waveguide device against stress caused by change of ambient temperature and against impact acting from the outside. This waveguide module comprises a reinforcing member directly adhered to a buffer protector covering the optical waveguide device. This reinforcing member is a plate member bent so that the both ends face each other, and it houses the whole of the optical waveguide device covered by the buffer protector in the internal space thereof.
