Abstract
The present invention provides an optical waveguide interconnection board, including: optical input and output ports; at least one optical waveguide corresponding to an optical circuit pattern; and at least one light direction-changing element each of which is disposed between one of the optical input port and the optical output port and one of the at least one optical waveguide or, when the optical waveguide interconnection board has two or more optical waveguides, between two of the optical waveguides, and which comprises at least one of at least one light direction-changing element A that changes the direction of light in a plane parallel to a plane of the optical waveguide interconnection board and at least one light direction-changing element B that changes the direction of light to a direction having an angle with respect to a plane parallel to the plane of the optical waveguide interconnection board.
