OPTICAL MODULE AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical module, wherein a resin material can be prevented from entering an optical path and a photoelectric conversion element can be fixed with the highly reliable resin material while ensuring the transparency of the optical path.

SOLUTION: An optical module 100 includes a photoelectric conversion element 31 and an optical ferrule 33 wherein the photoelectric conversion element 31 is arranged on one end face 43 and an optical fiber inserting hole 45 is penetratingly formed at a position corresponding to an active layer 39 of the photoelectric conversion element 31, and a resin material 49 is charged and cured between the photoelectric conversion element 31 and the optical ferrule 33. An aperture 51 of an optical fiber inserting hole 45 formed on the one end face 43 of the optical ferrule 33 is covered with a transparent substance 53 which is brought into contact with the active layer 39 to prevent the resin material 49 from entering. The transparent substance 53 can be in a state of sheet or grease. The sheet or grease can be individually arranged corresponding to each of a plurality of optical fiber inserting holes 45.
