A surface emission laser (14) is disposed so that a side surface (15) of a semiconductor substrate of the surface emission laser (14) faces a plane (13) of a mounting substrate (12). By this means, emitted light (44) from the surface emission laser (14) travels in the direction along the plane (13) of the mounting substrate (12). Therefore, it is possible to dispose the optical fiber (16) so as to be along the plane (13) of the mounting substrate (12). By this means, an optical module (10) can be made thinner. <IMAGE> |
