Abstract
An optical module includes: a substrate and a waveguide element having a mount face opposed to the substrate, the waveguide element having an interference waveguide portion having an optical interference function. Further, the mount face includes a projection region to which the interference waveguide portion is projected on the mount face and a non-projection region, and the waveguide element is joined to the substrate with a joint material in the non-projection region.
Claims8
An optical module comprising:
- a substrate and
- a waveguide element having a mount face opposed to the substrate, the waveguide element having an interference waveguide portion having an optical interference function;
- wherein
- the substrate is one of two substrates of a thermoelectric cooling element, the thermoelectric cooling element including the two substrates and a semiconductor which is disposed between the two substrates,
- the mount face includes a projection region to which the interference waveguide portion is projected on the mount face and a non-projection region,
- a whole of the mount face of the waveguide element is uniformly flat and is opposed to a uniform flat face of the substrate,
- the waveguide element is joined to the uniform flat face of the substrate with a joint material only in the non-projection region, and an interval between the uniform flat face of the substrate and the mount face of the waveguide element is formed only by the joint material which is made of an epoxy resin, an acrylic resin, a rubber adhesive agent, or a silicone resin adhesive agent, and
- the waveguide element on the whole of the mount face including the projection region and the non-projection region is thermally controlled by the thermoelectric cooling element.
