An end face 7a of an optical fiber 7 and an end face 8a of an optical fiber 8 are arranged so as to have a predetermined interval and to oppose each other in a V-groove 23 of a base 21. A solution 27 including particles used as a material of the photonic crystal is dropped into a space section 25 which is formed by the end face 7a, the end face 8a, and the V-groove 23. Accordingly, by growing the photonic crystal from each of the end face 7a and the end face 8a, the optical control section including the photonic crystal 2 is formed on each of the end face 7a and the end face 8a.
