Abstract
An optical module according to the present invention includes: an optical device including an optical waveguide chip; an optical fiber block bonded to and arranged on an end face of the optical waveguide chip; an optical fiber that has one end optically connected to the optical waveguide chip via the optical fiber block; an optical fiber holding mechanism for holding the other end of the optical fiber; and an optical fiber carrier. The optical fiber is arranged while being curved from the optical fiber carrier toward the optical fiber block in a U-shape, and a wall structure is formed on the surface of the carrier while being adjacent to the optical fiber at, for example, a position on the outer side of the U-shaped curve of the optical fiber position at which the wall structure reduces a normal force of the optical fiber.
