<p>This invention relates to an optical module having an optically operative device (2) to be optically connected to an optical fiber (1), and a fiber saddle (5) provided near the optically operative device (2) for the optical fiber (1) to be fixed to with solder. The fiber saddle (5) is provided on a heat insulative substrate (6) mounting the optically operative device (2), so that heat for melting the solder may not be dispersed through the fiber saddle (5), when the optical fiber (1) is soldered to the fiber saddle (5), and a necessary temperature for the soldering may be easily attained rapidly. A fixation surface of the fiber saddle (5) is plated with solder, and a pre-formed structure (7) of solder is bridged over the optical fiber (1) positioned on the fixation surface, is melted and then solidified for the fixation of the optical fiber (1) to the fiber saddle (5), so that the optically operative device (2) is kept away from the contamination with a flux upon soldering of the optical fiber (1), and the dislocation of the optical fiber (1) is prohibited.</p> |
