A technique to prevent return light by an inexpensive construction in an optical module is disclosed. According to this technique, at the end face of a cylindrical metal part made of SUS 303, a hole to expose the end of an optical fiber wire 2 is formed, and then a hole to let through an optical fiber 1 is made to fabricate a cylindrical metal ferrule 3. Further, in a cylindrical metal part made of SUS 304, a hole to let through the optical fiber and the metal ferrule 3 is formed to fabricate a metal ferrule 4. The metal ferrule 3 is inserted and jointed into a cavity section of the metal ferrule 4 by press fitting or the like. Further, the optical fiber is inserted in the holes of the metal ferrules 3 and 4 so that the optical fiber wire is exposed from an end face of the metal ferrule 3. The gap between the optical fiber and the metal ferrules 3, 4 is jointed by an adhesive 17. <IMAGE> |
