Abstract:
1. An optical module, comprising: at least one light-receiving element configured to convert an incident optical signal to an electric signal, the at least one light-receiving element including; a mesa part configured to laminate at least a first semiconductor layer, a light absorption semiconductor layer that absorbs an optical signal entering from a light reception surface, and a second semiconductor layer, an electrode part disposed on a top of the mesa part, and a wiring part that covers a part of a side surface of the mesa part and that is disposed so as to extend from a part of an outer periphery of the electrode part toward an outside of the mesa part; and a lens configured to condense an optical signal from an optical fiber onto the light reception surface of the at least one light-receiving element, wherein the wiring part is disposed at a position based on an intensity distribution of the optical signal on the light reception surface.
