Abstract
An optical device comprises an optical waveguide component, a housing for the optical waveguide component, and a connecting portion that attaches the optical waveguide component to the housing while substantially completely isolating the optical waveguide component from force imposed on the connecting portion due to a dimensional change of the housing caused by a variation in ambient conditions.
