A conventional problem is to provide an optical module capable of being reflow mounted together with electronic components collectively, and, at the same time, securing a mechanical strength that can bear a large stress at the time of an attachment/detachment of the optical fiber. A solution to the above-mentioned problem can be attained by using an optical connector removable type optical module for reflow mounting having a fixing structure for fixing itself to a mount board, including a receptacle part installed to an optical module 19 to which an optical connector 1 is detachably connected; electric terminals 4 for reflow mounting that are arranged corresponding to lands 8 on a mount board 6; and stud parts 5 that are able to fit in fixing holes 7 on the mount board 6.

A passive region is provided on one side or both sides of a waveguide-type optical modulator. Thereby, it is possible to obtain a high-speed optical modulator package superior in mechanical strength, thermal characteristic, high-frequency characteristic, and extinction characteristic. Moreover, it is possible to increase the operating speed of an optical fiber transmission equipment by applying the optical modulator package to the optical fiber transmission equipment.

Disclosed is a semiconductor optical integrated device and method of fabricating the device, the device having a plurality of quantum well structures, formed on a single substrate, acting as optical waveguides, the plurality of quantum well structures respectively having different lattice mismatches with the substrate and/or different strains (e.g., respectively compressive strain and tensile strain). The method includes selectively depositing the quantum well structures by, e.g., organometallic vapor phase epitaxy on growth regions of the substrate, the growth regions being defined by insulating layer patterning masks, with a width of the growth regions and/or a width of the patterning mask being different for the different quantum well structures. Each quantum well structure includes quantum well layers of III-V or II-VI compound semiconductor material, the Group III or Group II elements each including at least two elements, one having a relatively large atomic diameter and another having a relatively small atomic diameter. Also disclosed is a light receiver that can independently absorb TE-mode and TM-mode light in series, which can be used in a polarized-wave diversity receiver for coherent optical communication.

The present invention provides an optical module using optical waveguides which permits easy fabrication of a PLC type optical multiplexer/demultiplexer with reduced loss. The optical module comprises cores which are contiguous to each other through a dicing groove adapted to position and fix an optical functional part such as a wavelength selection filter and a core branched from the said cores. A slight gap is present between the former and the latter core and both cores are narrower in width in the vicinity of the dicing groove than the other portions.

A method of mounting an optical device having a step on the surface opposing to a mounting substrate favorably by face-down bonding which enables a decrease in the number of components or integrate additional components on one identical substrate and, accordingly, is useful for reducing the size and the thickness of an optical head using a light source, the method includes the step of making the volume of a solder pattern to the area ratio of each electrode different for every wiring electrode portions upon mounting the electrodes on the substrate for mounting the optical device, in which the optical device having the step can be mounted favorably to the substrate by the control for the height of solder upon melting.
