An optical modulehas a laser light source, optical branching meansfor receiving laser light from the laser light source, making a part of the laser light pass through the optical branching means and branching a remaining part of the laser light; a photodetecting portionP receiving the remaining part of the laser light branched from the optical branching meansand a packageholding therein the laser light source, the optical branching meansand the photodetecting portionP, the packagehaving stray light reducing meansandprovided therein to reduce stray light generated inside the package.

Optical module

An optical-waveguide device mounted on a fixing member having a pair of opposing upright walls and a sub-mount unit including a metallic sub-mount of a rectangular solid shape inserted between the opposing upright walls and a nonmetallic sub-mount of a rectangular solid shape mounted on the metallic sub-mount, and fixed onto a base table. The fixing member and the sub-mount unit as well as the fixing member and the base table are spot-welded together using YAG welding.
