Abstract
Even in the case of an optical module including a multi-chip integrated device, an optical module having a smaller size in consideration of the connection to optical fibers. An optical module having a package containing a multi-chip integrated device integrated with an optical functional element having both ends connected to planar lightwave circuits (PLCs) is provided. Each of the PLCs includes a folded waveguide for connecting a light waveguide formed in the optical functional element to optical fibers. The optical module comprises a connecting part connected to each of the PLCs for connecting the optical functional element to the optical fibers in the same face. The optical fibers are taken out from opposed surfaces of the package.
