Optical module

An optical module comprising:

• at least two optical elements mounted in parallel with each other;
• a first electrode pad formed between the paralleled optical elements and grounded to a ground potential;
• a second electrode pad arranged along a line that is intersected with a direction in which the optical elements are arranged, said second electrode pad facing the first electrode pad, and said second electrode pad being grounded to the ground potential;
• and
• a conductive shield member connected to both the first electrode pad and the second electrode pad and positioned between electrical signal transmission paths, each one of which is connected to the optical elements,
• wherein,
• the shield member includes a linear wire, said wire one end connected to the first electrode pad and the other end thereof connected the second electrode pad, and is stretched between the first electrode pad and the second electrode pad at a height aligned with a height of the electrical signal transmission path connected to the optical elements.
