An optical transmission module that converts an electric signal to an optical signal and outputs the optical signal, including: a package; a plurality of light-emitting elements each emitting light in the interior of the package; a plurality of light-receiving elements each including a light-receiving surface on which a portion of the light is incident in the interior of the package, for monitoring light outputs of the plurality of light-emitting elements; and light-shielding members provided on the plurality of light-receiving elements while avoiding the light-receiving surfaces.

Optical transmission module

An optical transmission module includes: a package; a plurality of light-emitting elements each emitting light in the interior of the package; a beam splitter splitting the light into transmitted light and split light; a plurality of light-receiving elements each including a light-receiving surface on which the split light is incident in the interior of the package, for monitoring light outputs of the plurality of light-emitting elements; and a first light-shielding film provided between the plurality of light-emitting elements and the beam splitter and including a plurality of first holes for the light to propagate to the beam splitter, wherein the plurality of light-receiving elements are disposed with the light-receiving surfaces facing the beam splitter.

The optical transmission module, which is configured to input differential signals including a positive-phase signal and a negative-phase signal, includes: a laser oscillator configured to output laser light; an optical modulator configured to modulate the laser light based on the positive-phase signal; a negative-phase terminating resistor configured to terminate the negative-phase signal; a Peltier device including a first region and a second region in which heat is exchanged; a substrate mounted to the first region so that heat is conducted to the first region; and a package which is hermetically sealed, the laser oscillator and the optical modulator being mounted on the substrate so that heat is conducted to the first region, the negative-phase terminating resistor being arranged outside of the substrate so as to avoid conduction of heat to the first region.
