Abstract

An optical fiber holder 7 which directs an angulated groove 6 in which an optical fiber 4 is disposed to a substrate 2 and overlays the angulated groove 6 on the substrate 2 may be formed first. Next, a guide 8 which guides the optical fiber holder 7 to the position where the optical fiber 4 and the optical device 3 are to be optically coupled to each other is formed on the substrate 2. Next, a 45-degree mirror is formed by dicing the optical fiber holder 7 and the optical fiber 4 together in a state in which the optical fiber 4 is disposed in the angulated groove 6. Finally, the optical fiber holder 7 is overlaid on the substrate 2, and the optical fiber holder 7 is guided by the guide 8.
