Abstract
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.
