ABSTRACT:
An optical module comprises: a sub-mount1, having four photodiodes12and two guide grooves10disposed on an optical element mounting surface16; a fiber fixing member2, having four V-grooves21, four concave mirrors22, and two guide rails20disposed on an optical fiber fixing surface26; and four optical fibers3, fixed to the fiber fixing member2. With this optical module, the sub-mount1and fiber fixing member2are aligned and fixed by the fitting together of the guide grooves10and guide rails20. A passive alignment type optical module that enables mass production and cost reduction is thus realized.
