Abstract:
An optical module (1) including a package (2) having a bottom (3) and accommodating:a base (8) on which is mounted an optical component (9), and an optical connector (4), the connector (4) and the component (9) being coupled by an optical fiber (5) having two ends (6, 7) of which one end (7) is bonded by a first adhesive (14) to the base (8) in front of the optical component (9) and the other end (6) is bonded by a second adhesive (13) to the connector (4), the base (8) being bonded to the bottom (3) of the package (2) or to the connector (4) or to the bottom (3) of the package (2) and to the connector (4) by a third adhesive (12) and possibly a fourth adhesive (15), which module is characterized in that an adhesive (12, 15) for fixing the base (8) has an elongation at the threshold of plasticity greater than the elongation at the threshold of plasticity of an adhesive (13, 14) for fixing at least one end (6, 7) of the fiber (5) to the base (8) or the connector (4).
