Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an accurate and inexpensive passive method for fitting a connector an the optical element together with an optical integrated circuit, and a template for the above method. SOLUTION: The output terminal and/or input terminal of each element is positioned almost in level with the input terminal and/or output terminal of the optical integrated circuit 26 which is positioned on the same plane (xoz). In this case, the circuit 25 is positioned on a template 35 having a pattern for precisely matching the input terminal and/or output terminal of the circuit 26 with the optical element, and a block 30, which contains the optical element is positioned on the template 35 and fixed to the circuit; and the template is removed, and the optical element is positioned at each block which is matched with the input terminal and/or output terminal of the circuit.
