Abstract
An optical transceiver 10 includes an optical device 16 which is provided upon a substrate 11, an optical connector 14 which is connected to an optical fiber 15a, and a connector holder 13 for optically connecting together the optical device and the optical connector 14. The connector holder 13 includes an engagement means 13c which holds the optical connector 14. The engagement means 13c holds the optical connector 14 when the optical connector 14 is pressed in towards the substrate. The optical connector 14 supports the optical fiber 15a so that the optical axis of the optical fiber 15a subtends a fixed angle with respect to the optical axis of the optical device 16. And the optical connector 14 includes a mirror 14g for optically connecting between the optical device 16 and the optical fiber 15a.
