OPTICAL MODULE
First Claim
1. An optical module, comprising:
- a circuit board;
a photoelectric conversion element mounted on a mount surface of the circuit board;
an optical coupling member for holding an optical fiber and optically coupling the optical fiber and the photoelectric conversion element;
a semiconductor circuit element mounted on the mount surface of the circuit board and electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion element; and
a plate-shaped supporting substrate arranged to sandwich the optical coupling member between the supporting substrate and the circuit board,wherein an electrically conductive metal foil which extends in a thickness direction of the supporting substrate is provided integrally with a side surface of the supporting substrate, and the metal foil is connected at one end thereof to an electrode provided on a non-mount surface of the circuit board.
