Optical module and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

An optical module that facilitates positioning includes an optical device and a light transmitting member having a fitting portion into which a counterpart optical member is fitted and having a lens portion that collimates light of a first wavelength emitted from the optical device or that converges parallel light of the first wavelength emitted from the counterpart optical member into converged light to be incident on the optical device. The light transmitting member is formed such that a position of a leading end surface of the fitting portion coincides with a position of an imaging plane in a direction of the optical axis. The imaging plane is a plane on which irradiated visible light is imaged. The visible light has a second wavelength that is lower than the first wavelength and is transmitted through the lens portion and reflected from the optical device onto the imaging plane.
