Abstract
An optical module includes a mirror unit, a magnet unit, and a package including a recess. The magnet unit includes a first magnet and a second magnet. The recess includes a base wall portion to which an upper surface of the magnet unit is fixed, and a side wall portion facing a side surface of the magnet unit. The mirror unit is disposed on a second surface on an opposite side of the base wall portion from a first surface to which the magnet unit is fixed. A second upper surface of the second magnet is located closer to the lower side than a first upper surface of the first magnet. The magnet unit is fixed to the base wall portion by an adhesive material disposed at least between the first surface of the base wall portion and the second upper surface of the second magnet.
Claims15
An optical module comprising:
- a mirror unit including a mirror device including a movable mirror portion provided with a coil;
- a magnet unit having an upper surface, a bottom surface, and a side surface extending from the upper surface to the bottom surface, and configured to generate a magnetic field acting on the movable mirror portion;
- and
- a package including a recess accommodating the magnet unit,
- wherein the magnet unit includes a first magnet and a second magnet arranged along a first direction,
- the recess includes a base wall portion which extends along the first direction and to which the upper surface of the magnet unit is fixed, and a side wall portion extending along a second direction intersecting the first direction, and facing the side surface of the magnet unit,
- when a side on which the magnet unit is located with respect to the base wall portion in the second direction is defined as a lower side and a side opposite to the lower side is defined as an upper side, the recess includes an opening portion that is delimited by the side wall portion and open to the lower side,
- the mirror unit is disposed on a second surface on an opposite side of the base wall portion from a first surface to which the magnet unit is fixed,
- a second upper surface of the second magnet that is a surface on the upper side is located closer to the lower side than a first upper surface of the first magnet that is a surface on the upper side, and
- the magnet unit is fixed to the base wall portion by a first adhesive material disposed at least between the first surface of the base wall portion and the second upper surface of the second magnet.
