Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical module is disclosed where an optical coupling efficiency between an optical device and an external fiber may be improved. The optical module includes an optical receptacle and a device unit assembled with the optical receptacle only via a stub as forming a gap to isolate these two components. The gap is filled with insulating resin or tightly covered by an insulating ring to reinforce the stub to be hard for an increased moment by the optical assemblies in the device unit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An optical module, comprising: an optical receptacle including a stub, a holder, and a bush, the holder and the bush being press-fitted into the stub as forming a gap therebetween; and a device unit assembled with the bush of the optical receptacle, the device unit including at least one optical subassembly optically coupled with an external fiber set in the optical receptacle, the device unit being assembled via welding with the bush of the optical recept…
