PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical axis alignment apparatus of an optical communication module capable of performing optical axis alignment between a receptacle and an optical device without deteriorating characteristics of the optical device.SOLUTION: There is provided an optical axis alignment apparatus of an optical communication module for performing optical axis alignment between a receptacle 5 and an optical device 3 in a state of inserting an optical fiber 7 into the receptacle 5. In the optical axis alignment apparatus, a spring mechanism which generates a spring force for energizing the optical fiber 7 toward the direction of a tip thereof is provided inside a connector 7a holding the optical fiber 7. The optical axis alignment apparatus includes a PC (Physical Contact) jig 8 and a tapered member 9 which, in performing the optical axis alignment, are used for pressing the optical fiber 7 against the receptacle 5 at loads more than the spring force generated by the spring mechanism and keeping physical contact between the optical fiber 7 and the receptacle 5. |
