Abstract
An optical function module comprises a collimator block having a substrate, at least two collimators disposed on the substrate in confronting relation to one another for collimating a light flux directed along a preselected path between the collimators, and support members each for supporting a respective one of the collimators on the substrate. An optical function device is removably connected by a connecting structure to the collimator block so that the optical function device is positioned along the preselected path of the light flux between the collimators.
