Thermal dissipation-enhanced optical module and optical communication system including the same

An optical communication system comprising:

• a plurality of optical modules;
• and
• optical fibers connecting the plurality of optical modules,
• wherein each of the plurality of optical modules comprises:
• a substrate;
• and
• an optical component positioned on the substrate and converting an electrical signal into an optical signal or converting an optical into an electrical signal;
• an electronic component driving the optical component;
• an optical fiber support fixing an optical fiber positioned away from the optical component;
• an optical wire optically connecting the optical component and one end of the optical fiber;
• a container accommodating the optical component, the electronic component, and the optical fiber and isolated from the outside;
• and
• coolant filled in the container,
• wherein the electronic component, the optical component, and the optical wire contact the coolant.
