Connection Structure Of Optical Fiber Array And Optical Module

A connection structure of an optical fiber array and an optical module comprising:

• an optical module, the optical module comprising:
• a base having a first face with a recess, the recess extending in a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the recess opening to at least one side in the first direction;
• and
• a plurality of converters each being an optical-electrical converter or an electrical-optical converter, the plurality of converters being arranged at the base a row extending each other along the second direction;
• and
• an optical fiber array, the optical fiber array comprising:
• a plastic part;
• and
• a plurality of optical fibers each having a first end portion, the first end portions of the optical fibers being arranged side by side along the second direction and coated with the plastic part, the first end portions as coated with the plastic part being fixedly positioned in the recess of the base and optically connected to respective ones of the converters.
