Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an optical module including a transparent substrate having an electro optical element on one surface side and an optical transmission line support member, which is arranged on the other surface side of the transparent substrate and supports one end of an optical transmission line, the method of manufacturing the optical module comprising the steps of: forming a guide pin in either the transparent substrate or the optical transmission line support member; forming a guide hole, in which the guide pin is to be inserted, in the other one of the transparent substrate and the optical transmission line support member, in which the guide pin is not formed, such that the diameter of the guide hole is made larger as compared with the diameter of the guide pin; arranging a jig having a protruding portion, which diameter is substantially the same as the diameter of the guide pin such that the protruding portion is being inserted into the guide hole; filling up a gap between the protruding portion and the guide hole with a filler material, which is cured by carrying out a predetermined processing; adjusting a position of the jig within a range in which the protruding portion is movable inside the guide hole; curing the filler material by carrying out a predetermined processing to the filler material, which is filled up in the gap between the protruding portion and the guide hole; and pulling out the protruding portion from the guide hole after having cured the filler material.
