    Abstract: An optical device includes a connection pad, which is connected to a conductor pattern on the circuit substrate, at one edge. The connection pad includes one ground pad, and two or more signal pads between which the ground pad is interposed from its both sides. The ground pad includes a concave portion including an opening at the edge. The circuit substrate is provided with a metal columnar member in the conductor pattern to which the ground pad is connected. The conductor pattern and the connection pad are fixed to each other with solder in a state in which the columnar member is fitted into the concave portion. Solder, which gradually rises from the ground pattern to a lateral surface of the columnar member, is formed between the columnar member and the ground pattern that is formed in the flexible printed circuit.

    Abstract: An optical waveguide element module decreases discontinuity of electrical connection between an optical waveguide element and a relay substrate, without wire-bonding using long wires. An edge shape L of the signal electrode side of the ground electrode is surrounded by two shapes (L1, L2). Shape L1 is obtained by connecting an input end of the control electrode to a location where a space between the ground electrodes becomes W2. Shape L2 is such that an impedance change of the control electrode from the input end to the location at which the space between the ground electrodes becomes W2 is constant or continuously changes. A space between grounding wires connecting the ground electrodes of the element and ground lines of the relay substrate is larger than a space between the ground electrodes. In an embodiment, a terminal substrate and an output end of the control electrode are connected.

    Abstract: An optical module in which an optical element is housed in a housing includes: an optical window member through which input light to the optical element or output light from the optical element passes and which hermetically seals inside of the housing; and a holding member that holds the optical window member. The optical window member is fixed to the housing by the holding member. A difference between linear expansion coefficients of the holding member and the optical window member is smaller than a difference between linear expansion coefficients of the housing and the optical window member. A position where the optical window member is attached on the holding member protrudes to an optical element side from a position where the holding member itself is fixed.
