摘要:
An optical module which includes a housing having a placing portion and an optical input-output portion facing an optical input-output surface of a ferrule; a first fixing portion for fixing the ferrule to the housing in the direction of the Z-axis perpendicular to the placing portion; and a second fixing portion for fixing the ferrule to the housing in the direction of the Y-axis perpendicular to the optical input-output surface, wherein the second fixing portion can change states from the first state to the second state and vice versa; the first fixing portion fixes the ferrule in the direction of the Z-axis when the first fixing portion is at a first position, and does not fix the ferrule in the Z-axis direction when the first fixing portion is at a second position; and the first fixing portion moves from the second position to the first position when the second fixing portion changes its state from the second state to the first state.
摘要:
An optical module (100) includes a housing (10) including an internal space (14) that has an opening in a substrate mounting surface (12a), an element mounting surface (11a) that forms a portion of an inner surface of the internal space, and a waveguide introduction opening (15) that is formed in a side surface intersecting the substrate mounting surface and is opened to the opening of the substrate mounting surface and communicated with the internal space, an optical element (20) that is mounted on the element mounting surface, and an electronic element (30) that is mounted on the element mounting surface and is connected to the optical element. When the substrate mounting surface is mounted on a circuit substrate (200), an optical waveguide (210) that protrudes from a surface of the circuit substrate is introduced into the internal space through the waveguide introduction opening.
