Abstract
An optical module including: light emitting elements; mirrors each having a reflection surface that reflects each light emitted from each of the light emitting elements; and a mount on which the light emitting elements are disposed. The light emitting elements are disposed on a side of one surface of the mount. When the one surface is viewed in a plan view of the optical module, a certain number of mirrors among the mirrors are disposed at a position overlapping reflected light that is reflected by another mirror among the mirrors. Each of the certain number of mirrors has a fixed surface fixed to the mount with an adhesive. The fixed surface is perpendicular to the reflection surface.
Claims7
An optical module comprising:
- light emitting elements;
- mirrors each having a reflection surface that reflects each light emitted from each of the light emitting elements;
- and
- a mount, wherein
- the light emitting elements are disposed on a side of one surface of the mount,
- when the one surface is viewed in a plan view of the optical module, one or more of the mirrors are disposed at a position that overlaps reflected light that is reflected by another of the mirrors,
- each of the one or more of the mirrors has a fixed surface fixed to the mount with an adhesive,
- the fixed surface is perpendicular to the reflection surface, and
- when the one surface is viewed in the plan view, the fixed surface and a fixation surface of the mount to which the fixed surface is fixed, are not perpendicular to a direction in which the one or more of the mirrors and the reflected light overlap.
