Abstract:
An optical module includes a single-mode optical fiber; a high relative refractive-index difference optical fiber having a larger core-to-cladding relative refractive-index difference than that of the single-mode optical fiber fusion-spliced to a first end of the high relative refractive-index difference optical fiber; a planar lightwave circuit that includes an optical waveguide having a core of quartz-based glass doped with a refractive-index raising dopant and a cladding of quartz-based glass, and is connected at a first end thereof to a second end, opposite to the first end, of the high relative refractive-index difference optical fiber; and a silicon thin-wire waveguide element that includes a silicon thin-wire waveguide having a silicon core and a cladding whose refractive index lower than that of the silicon core, and is connected to a second end, opposite to the first end, of the optical waveguide of the planar lightwave circuit.

Claim (Index 8):
The optical module according to  claim 7 , further comprising:\n a fixing member that has V-shaped grooves provided thereon, the V-shaped grooves housing corresponding ones of the plurality of high relative refractive-index difference optical fibers, thereby to define relative positions of the plurality of high relative refractive-index difference optical fibers with respect to the planar lightwave circuit; and an upper plate to be combined with the fixing member, wherein a coating of each of the high relative refractive-index difference optical fibers is partially remove, and each of the high relative refractive-index difference optical fibers is housed at a portion where the coating is partially removed in the V-shaped grooves, and interposed between the fixing member and the upper plate.
