Patent number: 11307356Abstract: An optical module that has a structure ensuring reduction in size. The optical module has a structure where a part of a fiber block is protruded from a housing. By including a thin plate, this optical module can avoid entering of dust in the housing, allows a position shift of the fiber block due to a mounting position error of an optical component in the housing, a position shift of an opening portion due to a dimensional error of the housing, or a displacement due to a temperature change, and can reduce the coupling loss due to the optical axis misalignment.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignees: NTT ELECTRONICS CORPORATION, NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Yuichi Suzuki, Tomohiro Nakanishi, Motoki Minami, Hiroshi Tomita, Motohaya Ishii, Shuichiro Asakawa, Shunichi Soma

Patent number: 10908356Abstract: An optical circuit board which is mounted with a loop-back circuit for returning aligning light to the fiber array in the vicinity of the fiber array connection end. Since an aligning loop-back circuit can be formed in an optical waveguide pattern, a production cost does not increase in comparison to an optical circuit board of the related art. The aligning light combined from the optical fiber to the aligning port of the optical circuit board is returned to the optical fiber around the loop-back circuit. Therefore, it is possible to perform alignment using the returned light. That is, alignment can be performed while being mounted on a package without installing a light-reflecting film or mirror.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2017Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignees: NTT ELECTRONICS CORPORATION, NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Tomohiro Nakanishi, Motoki Minami, Satoru Konno, Yuichi Suzuki, Teruaki Sato, Shigeo Nagashima, Shinji Mino, Motohaya Ishii, Shunichi Soma, Shin Kamei, Shuichiro Asakawa
