There is provided an optical module for coupling with a fiber optic cable through an optical connector, including a module body connectable with a plug of the optical connector by a dedicated guide pin, with a side surface of the module body being opposed to a mating surface of the connector plug at which an end face of the fiber optic cable is exposed, and an optical element mounted to the module body and having an optical axis brought into alignment with an optical axis of the fiber optic cable upon fitting of the guide pin into the module body and the connector plug.

Optical module, optical module substrate and optical coupling structure

A substrate assembly for supporting an optical component includes a substrate having a front surface and a first recess, a second recess formed portion disposed in the first recess and having a second recess smaller in diameter than the first recess and having an open end at least at a side corresponding to the front surface, the second recess formed portion being made of a material having a machinability better than a material forming the substrate, and an alignment guide member fitted in the second recess and having a protruded portion protruding from the front surface of the ceramic substrate and fittingly engageable in an alignment hole of the optical component. A method of producing such a substrate assembly is also provided.

Substrate assembly for supporting optical component and method of producing the same

An optical device mounted substrate assembly includes a ceramic substrate having a first recess, an optical device mounted on the ceramic substrate and having one of a light emitting portion and a light receiving portion, the optical device being to be optically connected to one of an optical waveguide and an optical fiber connector in way as to align optical axes of the optical wave guide or the optical fiber connector with each other, a resin layer disposed in the first recess and having a second recess smaller in diameter than the first recess, and an alignment guide member fitted in the second recess and having a protruded portion protruding from a front surface of the ceramic substrate and fittingly engageable in an alignment hole of one of the optical waveguide and the optical fiber connector. A fabrication method of such a substrate assembly is also provided.
