An optical module includes a holder formed of a medium having light transmittance. The optical module further includes an optical device for converting an optical signal into an electric signal, and vice versa; a light guide member having a core being a path of the optical signal generated by the optical device, and a clad installed outside the core and for forming an interface from which the optical signal is reflected, together with the core; and a holder formed on an end of the light guide member for fixing the optical device and the light guide member of which optical axes are aligned with respect to the same point, the holder through which the optical signal can penetrate. In the optical module, the light guide member and the holder may be formed as a single body. The optical module can stably transmit an optical signal using the optical module and, further, be used in a variety of ways by changing the optical characteristics of the medium having light transmittance of the holder.

Optical module

An optical connector module including: a holder including at least one optical device and electrode; a connector having at least one optical fiber for light transmission, to correspond to the optical device, and latches; and a body in an open structure without top and bottom plates, having a base, a pair of sidewall portions extending from the base, a binding space for receiving the holder and the connector such that the input/output ends of the optical fiber of the connector are aligned to the optical device of the holder, and latch-receiving grooves on the sidewall portions to receive the latches of the connector. The configuration of the optical connector module allows for a slim design and thus it can be applicable for high-speed signal transmission and reception to a slim device which requires such a thin optical connector module.

Slip optical connector module

Disclosed is an optical connector module for being connected between first and second devices for receiving and/or outputting electrical information signals, and being capable of converting input electrical signals to optical signals, transmitting the converted signals and again converting the transmitted optical information signals into electrical information signals. The optical connector module comprises: a first connector module for being connected to the first device while being electrically detachable and for converting the electrical signals from the first device into optical information signals; an optical fiber cable, one end of which is disposed to face the first connector module for transmitting the input optical information signal to the other end; and a second connector module for being connected to the second device while being electrically detachable and for converting the optical information signals transmitted through the optical fiber cable into electrical information signals and applying the converted signal to the second device.
