Abstract

Provided is an optical connection apparatus for a parallel optical interconnect module and a parallel optical interconnect module using the same for reducing a coupling loss generated due to an alignment error when coupled with an optical fiber, comprising: a 2D reflector in a prism shape and having at least two rows of cylinder type lens attached thereto; a 2D optical waveguide having at least two layers of core arrays; at least two rows of 2D optical benches; and a 2D ferrule capable of loading at least two layers of optical fibers so as to facilitate the fixing of the 2D optical waveguide for optical interconnection.
