An optical device includes: a host device having a first housing, a first optical connector arranged inside the first housing, and an electrical connector arranged inside the first housing; and a light-emitting device having a second optical connector optically connected to the first optical connector, an electrical plug electrically connected to the electrical connector, and a second housing accommodating the second optical connector and the electrical plug and inserted into the first housing. The second housing has a latch structure latched onto the first housing when inserted into the first housing.

Optical device

An optical connector jig for connecting a second optical connector to a first optical connector, or disconnecting the second optical connector from the first optical connector, includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing includes a positioning portion to determine a position of the jig with respect to the first optical connector in cooperation with a member indicating a position of the first optical connector. The second housing grips the second optical connector such that, when the jig is positioned with respect to the first optical connector, a connection surface of the second optical connector faces a connection surface of the first optical connector. The second housing moves with respect to the first housing such that the connection surface of the gripped second optical connector is close to or away from the connection surface of the first optical connector.

Optical connector jig, optical connector connection method, and optical connector disconnection method

An optical apparatus includes a light emitting apparatus and a host apparatus. The light emitting apparatus includes a housing extending in a first direction, a light emitting device mounted in the housing, an optical connector including a first optical connection part provided at one end of the housing, and an electrical connector including a first electrical connection part provided at one end of the housing and receiving a voltage to drive the light emitting device. The host apparatus includes a host optical connector including a second optical connection part which faces the first optical connection part and is optically coupled thereto, a host electrical connector including a second electrical connection part facing the first electrical connection part and being electrically connected to the first electrical connection part, and a host board mounting the host optical connector and the host electrical connector thereon. The light emitting apparatus is connected to the host apparatus in the optical apparatus.
