Optical fiber-based optical functional device cartridge module

摘要

A cartridge-type optical functional module achieves excellent optical coupling and may include an optical fiber-type module and/or a waveguide-type module. A cartridge-type optical functional module is provided that includes first and second optical fiber collimators, an optical functional object that has an optical fiber-type module or a waveguide-type module, and a base section. The optical functional object also includes a third collimator, and a first alignment mechanism for aligning the position of the third collimator in the optical functional object.
