ABSTRACT:
The optical module includes a ferrule having a fiber holding hole, a flexible printed circuit (FPC) board provided to one end of the ferrule, an optoelectric device connected to an electric circuit of the FPC board, and a built-in fiber held in the fiber holding hole in a state in which one end of the fiber faces the optoelectric device, and another end of the fiber is flush with an end surface of another end of the ferrule. The method includes insert-molding a ferrule having a fiber holding hole with one end of the ferrule being positioned with respect to a FPC board; connecting an optoelectric device to an electric circuit of the FPC board; inserting and securing a built-in fiber into the fiber holding hole; and polishing an end surface of the fiber so that an end surface of another end of the ferrule is flush with the end surface of the fiber.
