Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical module for connecting a photoelectric conversion device on a substrate to a ferrule connected to an optical fiber includes a body configured to be mounted on the substrate, a first lens disposed on the body at a side thereof connectable to the ferrule, a second lens disposed on the body at a side thereof facing the substrate, and a core disposed in the body between the first lens and the second lens, wherein a refractive index of the core is higher than a refractive index of the body.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An optical module for connecting a photoelectric conversion device on a substrate to a ferrule connected to an optical fiber, the optical module comprising: a body configured to be mounted on the substrate; a first lens disposed on the body at a side thereof connectable to the ferrule; a second lens disposed on the body at a side thereof facing the substrate; and a core disposed in the body between the first lens and the second lens, wherein a refractive index of the core is higher than a refractive index of the body. 2 . The optical module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the core has a sloped face configured to reflect light entering the core through one of the first lens and the second lens. 3 . An optical module for connecting a photoelectric conversion device on a substrate to a ferrule connected to an optical fiber, the optical module comprising: a body configured to be mounted on the substrate; a first lens disposed on the body at a side thereof connectable to the ferrule; a second lens disposed on the body at a side thereof facing the substrate; and a core disposed in the body between the first lens and the second lens, wherein the core has faces on which a coating film is formed. 4 . The optical module as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the core has a sloped face configured to reflect light entering the core through one of the first lens and the second lens. 5 . An optical module for connecting a photoelectric conversion device on a substrate to a ferrule connected to an optical fiber, the optical module comprising: a body configured to be mounted on the substrate; a first lens disposed on the body at a side thereof connectable to the ferrule; a second lens disposed on the body at a side thereof facing the substrate; and a space formed in the body between the first lens and the second lens. 6 . The optical module as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the body has inner walls defining the space on which a coating film is formed. 7 . The optical module as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the body has a sloped face configured to reflect light entering the space.
