PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical module that deals with a surface receiving/emitting type optical element suitable for high density mounting and that simplifies an aligning process. SOLUTION: The optical module mounted with a surface receiving/emitting optical element is equipped with a holding base having a difference-in-level part, a block member that inserts a light transmitting medium to be placed on a higher side of the holding base, between the block and the holding base, and a surface emitting optical element that is placed on a lower side of the holding base, in a state capable of light receiving/emitting with respect to a vertical direction, in a position corresponding to the end face of the light transmitting medium placed on the higher side of the holding base. Light transmission is performed between the light transmitting medium and the surface receiving/emitting optical element. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
