Abstract
An optical processing apparatus includes: a circuit hoard having first and second areas arranged in a direction of a first axis; a semiconductor device having an optical coupling element; an optical connector having an optical fiber and a holder with first and second holder parts, and the optical connector being supported by the second area and the semiconductor device disposed on the first area; and a supporting base having a thickness smaller than that of the semiconductor device. The supporting base is disposed between the second holder part and the second area. The optical fiber has a first optical fiber portion supported by the first holder part, and a second optical fiber portion held by the first and second holder parts. The first optical fiber portion has a tip end and a cladding face which is positioned with respect to the optical coupling element and is separated apart from the semiconductor device.
