Abstract
The present invention provides an optical guide holding member having holding holes in which optical guides are fitted and held. The optical guide holding member has electric leads buried in a mounting surface on which the openings of the holding holes are opened. The electric leads are partly exposed on the mounting surface, and are also exposed on a side surface crossing the mounting surface. The optical semiconductor device is electrically connected to the exposed part of electric leads and is optically coupled with the optical guides.
Claims17
A holding member for holding an optical guide, comprising:
- a member having a first surface and a second surface adjacent to the first surface, and a through hole having an opening on the first surface, the through hole being extended in the member so as to hold the optical guide;
- and
- electrical leads each having, first and second opposite ends, the electrical leads buried in the member such that the first opposite end of the electrical lead is partly exposed on the first surface of the member and arranged in the member such that the second opposite end of the electrical lead is exposed on the second surface of the member adjacent to the first surface of the member.
An optical module comprising:
- an optical guide;
- a member having a first surface and a second surface adjacent to the first surface and a through hole having an opening on the first surface, the through hole being extended in the member and the optical guide being held in the through hole;
- electrical leads each having, first and second opposite ends, the electrical leads buried in the main body such that the first opposite end of the electrical lead is partly exposed on the first surface of the member and arranged in the main body such that the second opposite end of the electrical lead is exposed on the second surface of the member adjacent to the first surface of the member;
- and
- an optical semiconductor device mounted on the first surface and having electrodes which are electrically connected to the exposed part of the electrical leads.
