Abstract
An optical module includes an optical transmission device including a heating element, an optical element, an optical cable and an optical coupling unit that performs optical coupling between the optical element and one end of the optical cable; and a container that houses the heating element, the optical element, the optical coupling unit, and a portion including the one end of the optical cable, the container having an opening located between the heating element and the optical coupling unit in a direction in which the heating element and the optical coupling unit are arranged, the container having a portion located closer to the optical coupling unit than the opening in the arrangement direction wherein the portion is sealed.
Claims8
An optical module comprising:
- an optical transmission device including a heating element, an optical element, an optical cable, and an optical coupling portion that performs optical coupling between the optical element and one end of the optical cable;
- and
- a container that houses the heating element, the optical element, the optical coupling portion, and a portion including the one end of the optical cable, the container having an opening which is located between the heating element and the optical coupling portion in an arrangement direction in which the heating element and the optical coupling portion are arranged and communicates with an outside of the container, the container having a portion which is generated by immersing a part of the container on a side of the heating element in the arrangement direction in the coolant of the tank and does not have another opening which communicates with the outside of the container, the portion including the optical element, the optical coupling portion and a part of the optical cable.
A liquid immersion system comprising:
- a tank containing a coolant;
- and
- an optical module including an optical transmission device that includes a heating element, an optical element, an optical cable, and an optical coupling portion that performs optical coupling between the optical element and one end of the optical cable, and a container that houses the heating element, the optical element, the optical coupling portion, and a portion including the one end of the optical cable, the container having an opening which is located between the heating element and the optical coupling portion in an arrangement direction in which the heating element and the optical coupling portion are arranged and communicates with an outside of the container, the container having a portion which is generated by immersing a part of the container on a side of the heating element in the arrangement direction in the coolant of the tank and does not have another opening which communicates with the outside of the container, the portion including the optical element, the optical coupling portion and a part of the optical cable and the heating element being immersed in the coolant of the tank.
