摘要 |
The present invention provides an optical module, a plug for connecting an optical fiber, or an optical coupler provided with a configuration that permits the connection of an optical fiber without using a ferrule. For this purpose, the optical module, the plug for connecting an optical fiber, or an optical coupler equipped with the same is provided with: a substrate (14); an optical device (16) mounted on the substrate; a connecting optical fiber (18), one end of which is positioned with respect to the optical device, and the distal end of a transmitting optical fiber to be connected is positioned with respect to the other end thereof; and a guide (26) for guiding the distal end of the transmitting optical fiber to be connected. The distal end of the transmitting optical fiber is positioned with respect to the first end of a connecting optical fiber by disposing the distal end of the transmitting optical fiber in the guide.
