Disclosed are an optical element holder (10) and an optical communication module (30). The optical element holder comprises a pedestal (11) having a pair of fixing sections (17a,17b), a pair of holding sections (12a,12b), and a stress-suppressing section (18a,18b). The fixing sections are formed in opposing end portions of the pedestal for being welded to a carrier (16). The holding sections are formed as two upstanding side plates fixed on the pedestal so as to hold an optical element (13) by clamping it therebetween. The stress-suppressing section inhibits welding stress, which is generated when the fixing sections are welded to the carrier, from affecting the holding sections. <IMAGE> |
