ABSTRACT:
It is an object of the present invention to provide an optical module having a structure in which alignment precision of sleeves to be accommodated to a housing can be improved with a simple operation. The optical module according to the present invention is characterized by providing special structures for defining the positions of the sleeves to a sleeve holder for holding the sleeves, and the housing having a cavity for accommodating the sleeves. In particular, the housing includes support portions each having a reference surface for defining the fixing position of the corresponding sleeve. The sleeve holder includes spring pieces each for urging the sleeve to the reference surface.
