An optical waveguide or first optical fiber whose one end optically connects with a light exit plane and/or light incidence plane of an optical element and whose other end optically connects with an second optical fiber and a connector for mechanically connecting the optical waveguide or the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber are included. The optical waveguide or first optical fiber is bent in order to change the traveling direction of light so that the light incoming from one end is emitted from the other end substantially in parallel with a board and the light incoming substantially in parallel with the board to the optical waveguide or first optical fiber from the other end is emitted from one end toward the optical element.

Optical connector and optical module

An optical connector according to the present invention including a connector body mounted on an optical module mounted on a circuit board, and a connector fixing member for pressing the connector body against the optical module. The connector fixing member can be engaged/disengaged with/from the circuit board, and thus the connector body can be attached/detached to/from the optical module.
