Abstract
A connection structure of optical waveguide chips includes a base substrate () in which grooves () are formed, spacer optical fibers () each disposed for a corresponding one of the grooves () and fitted in the groove () while partially projecting from the base substrate (), and silica-based PLCs () that are a plurality of optical waveguide chips in each of which grooves () fitted on the projecting portions of the spacer optical fibers () are formed at positions of an optical waveguide layer () facing the grooves (), and each of which is mounted on the base substrate () while being supported by the spacer optical fibers (). The silica-based PLCs () are mounted on the base substrate () such that incident/exit end faces of the optical waveguide layers () face each other.
