Abstract

An optical circuit device includes an optical fiber element, a lens and several holders. An inner holder which is elastic, holds the optical fiber element and a lens on the same optical axis. An intermediate holder fixes the inner holder therein. An outer holder, which is connected to an optical signal receiving device, holds the intermediate holder therein. An optical axis of the inner holder is adjusted by shifting the position of the intermediate holder in the outer holder parallel to the optical axis. Also, the optical axis is adjusted by moving the outer holder perpendicular to the optical axis.
