Optical Module Comprising Optical Hybrid Using Metal Waveguide and Photo Detector

摘要

PURPOSE: An optical module which includes an optical detector and an optical hybrid comprised of a metallic optical waveguide is provided to effectively detect output light of the optical hybrid without using an additional optical component. CONSTITUTION: An optical module structure comprises an optical hybrid(310), a surface incident type optical detector(320), and a platform(330). The optical hybrid includes a metallic optical waveguide. The optical detector is formed for receiving light. The platform comprises an optical hybrid support part, an optical detector support part, and an inclined surface. The inclined surface converts a progress direction of light outputted from the optical hybrid. The platform combines the optical hybrid and the optical detector.
