Abstract
An optical module includes an optical component, a substrate including a main surface, a mount portion provided on the main surface of the substrate, and at least one measurement reference portion provided on the main surface of the substrate at a position apart from the mount portion. The substrate mounts the optical component thereon. The mount portion is configured to mount the optical component thereon. The measurement reference portion includes a reference point that becomes a height reference when measuring a mount height of the optical component.

An optical module comprising:
- an optical component;
- a substrate including a main surface, the substrate mounting the optical component thereon;
- a mount portion provided on the main surface of the substrate, the mount portion being configured to mount the optical component thereon;
- and
- at least one measurement reference portion provided on the main surface of the substrate at a position apart from the mount portion, the measurement reference portion including a reference point that becomes a height reference when measuring a mount height of the optical component.
A method of manufacturing an optical module, the method comprising:
- preparing an optical component and a substrate;
- forming a mount portion to mount the optical component thereon, on a main surface of the substrate;
- forming at least one measurement reference portion on the main surface of the substrate at a position apart from the mount portion, the at least one measurement reference portion including a reference point that becomes a height reference when measuring a mount height of the optical component;
- and
- mounting the optical component on the mount portion and adjusting a height of the optical component with a height of the measurement reference portion being the height reference.
