ABSTRACT:
An optical cable module is mainly provided with: an optical waveguide (10), a light-receiving element (11) and a supporting substrate (14) at its end portion of the light releasing side. The end portion of the optical waveguide (10) is fixed in its relative positional relationship with the light-receiving element (11). The end face of the optical waveguide (10) is not made perpendicular to the light axis (X-axis), and is diagonally cut so as to form an optical path conversion mirror (10D). Assuming that a light ray (indicated by a solid line in the Figure) that passes through the center of the light-axis cross section of a core (10A), and is reflected by the optical path conversion mirror (10D), and then reaches a light-receiving face at a light axis reflection position, the center of the light-receiving element (11) is placed with a gap from the light axis reflection position, in the optical cable module (1).
