Abstract
A passive method is provided as alignment means for aligning an optical fiber with an optical element in assembling an optical module, while increasing alignment accuracy. A mount () equipped with an optical element () is positioned by abutment on a face () of a projection () formed inside a package () and on a side () of a positioning pad () projecting from the bottom () of the package. A mount () equipped with an optical element () is positioned by abutment on an inner wall () of the package and on a face () of a projection () formed inside the package. Since the optical power of received or emitted light need not be monitored for fine adjustments of alignment, this method is less expensive.
