  • Publication number: 20160178866
    Abstract: An optical module includes an optical module lens cap. The optical module lens cap is produced by press-molding a lens into a barrel. The barrel includes a cover portion and a cylindrical portion. The cover portion includes lens mounting holes. The cover portion includes a top surface and an undersurface that are mutually opposed. The undersurface faces the inside of the cylindrical portion. The barrel is Kovar. The lens is mounted in the lens mounting hole. A low melting point glass layer is located at a rim of the lens mounting hole in the barrel, filling a gap between the lens and the barrel.

  • Patent number: 9223108
    Abstract: An optical module and a manufacturing method improve positioning accuracy between parts. A barrel and a lens holder are prepared, the lens holder is fitted into a cylindrical portion from a collar portion side of the barrel, and the barrel and the lens holder are assembled. In one case, the barrel and the lens holder are assembled with a brazing material. The assembled barrel and lens holder are heated, and the brazing material is melted to braze the barrel and the lens holder. Lens glass is sandwiched between metal dies and a lens is press-molded using a pressing apparatus. In one case, positioning of press molding uses the barrel which has a small linear expansion coefficient.
