Abstract
An optical module includes an optical device, a lens component in which an optical path between an optical fiber and the optical device is provided, and a protective member. The lens component includes an optical fiber support portion configured to hold the optical fiber, a lens portion through which the optical path between the optical fiber and the optical device passes, and a mirror portion configured to be a part of an outer surface of the lens component. The optical path is bent at the mirror portion. The protective member is attached to the outer surface of the lens component and configured to prevent the mirror portion from being exposed.
