<p>A structure shielding stray light in an optical waveguide module and an optical transceiver module using this structure, in which stray light circulated from an laser diode (LD) to a photo diode (PD) for receiving optical signals is shielded and the deterioration of the receiving sensitivity caused by the stray light can be prevented and improved, are provided. In the optical waveguide module using this structure, the upper surface of a waveguide substrate covered with a waveguide clad is covered with a metal deposition except an LD mounting area and a V shaped groove for mounting an optical fiber. The metal deposition being made of, for example, Au or WSi has a characteristic that does not make light of a wavelength band used in optical communication penetrate and reflects the light having the wavelength band used in the optical communication. The bottom surface and the side surfaces of the waveguide substrate are also covered with the metal deposition except a waveguide core part. At the end surface, from which a light is radiated, of the waveguide substrate, the waveguide core part is covered with a mask and the metal deposition is formed. Therefore, at the structure of the present invention, the surfaces of the waveguide substrate and the surface of the waveguide clad are covered with the metal deposition except the LD mounting area, the waveguide core part and the V shaped groove for mounting the optical fiber. <IMAGE></p> |
