ABSTRACT:
The present invention is to provide a fiber pigtail for optical communication modules. According to the presnent invention, there is provided a fiber pigtail for an optical communication module, comprising: an optical device being set on a header and generating light; a ball lens cap being set on the header with sealing the optical device and having a ball lens focusing the light generated from the optical device; a first cylindrical ferrule fixed on the header to surround the outer portion of the ball lens cap; a second ferrule fixed to the first ferrule and having a hole which is in communication with a hole of the first ferrule; and a fiber ferrule inserted and fixed in the hole of the second ferrule and having an optical fiber coupling the light irradiated from the optical device, wherein the optical fiber includes a DFB laser diode, and the ferrules each is fixed at its three points in three directions perpendicular to an optical axis of the optical fiber. In addition, the optical device is 1.3 .mu.m DFB laser diode, and each of the ferrules are fixed by laser welding at three points in X, Y and Z directions perpendicular to an optical axis of the optical fiber wherein components of X, Y and Z direction have an angle of about 120.degree. to each other.
