Abstract
An optical-path turning device is interposed between paired first and second optical components of pin-fitting alignment system that have their optical paths mutually different in direction, for an optic coupling between the optical components, and has a device bodyof a block shape. The device bodyincludes a first connector portionthat has a set of fitting pinholesoriented in correspondence to a set of fitting pinholes of the first optical component, and a connection end facebutt-connected with a connection end face of the first optical component, and a second connector portionthat has a set of fitting pinholesoriented in correspondence to a set of fitting pinholes of the second optical component, and a connection end facebutt-connected with a connection end face of the second optical component, and further includes a set of optical fibers (as optical waveguides)extending from the connection end faceof the first connector portionthrough a flexural portionto the connection end faceof the second connector portion
