  • Publication number: 20230251437
    Abstract: An optical module includes: an electric circuit board E including an electric circuit provided on a light-permeable resin substrate 1; and an optical element 11 joined onto the electric circuit board E. The optical element 11 is joined to the electric circuit board E, with a light-emitting portion (or light-receiving portion) 11a of the optical element 11 facing an electric circuit surface side of the electric circuit board E. A space between the light-emitting portion (or light-receiving portion) 11a of the optical element 11 and the light-permeable resin substrate 1 is filled with a light-permeable resin cured material X. A relative refractive index difference between the light-permeable resin cured material X and the light-permeable resin substrate 1 is not greater than 20%. This reduces the propagation loss of light with a simple structure.
