Abstract:
1. An optical module, comprising: a substrate; an optical device comprising a surface-emitting element or a surface-receiving element mounted on a surface of the substrate with a light-emitting portion or a light-receiving portion located to face the surface of the substrate; an optical fiber disposed parallel to the surface of the substrate, and in a longitudinal direction of the substrate; a damming member provided between the optical device and the substrate to extend in a width direction of the substrate, the damming member dividing a gap between the optical device and the substrate in the longitudinal direction of the substrate into a first portion and a second portion; and a mirror provided at one side surface of the damming member to face the light-emitting portion or the light-receiving portion of the optical device and a tip of the optical fiber, and optically connect the optical device and the optical fiber, wherein the first portion provided on an opposite side to the optical fiber with respect to the damming member is filled with an underfill resin, and the second portion provided on a side close to the optical fiber with respect to the damming member is filled with an optical fiber fixing resin.
