Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A parallel optical module includes a light-emitting or light-receiving element array 101 placed on a substrate 100 , an optical connector 103 optically connecting the optical element array 101 and an external optical fiber array 105 , the optical connector 103 having a shape of at least an octahedron which is bilaterally symmetrical about the center of the outer shape thereof viewed along the optical axis direction, and an engaging member 104 placed on the same substrate 100 as the substrate on which the optical element array 101 is mounted, the engaging member having a groove onto which the optical connector 103 is fitted. A side wall of the groove of the engaging member 104 has an inclination corresponding to, among each surface of the optical connector 103 , a second surface 110 adjacent to a first surface 109 facing the optical element array 101 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).
