Abstract
An optical module and its manufacturing method are provided which are capable of forming an optical waveguide by making the most of characteristics of a material having small optical transmission loss and excellent machinability or processibility. The optical module includes an optical waveguide sheet having a first optical waveguide and an optical component having a second optical waveguide, wherein the optical component is disposed in an aperture portion in the optical waveguide sheet and an end face of a large diameter portion of a core layer in the second optical waveguide is formed so as to be disposed opposite to an end face of a core layer of the first optical waveguide so that the first optical waveguide and the second optical waveguide are optically coupled.
