  • Patent number: 8113724
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of an optical communication module for manufacturing the optical communication module, including the sequentially performed steps of: (1) mounting a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element on a side surface of a sub-mount substrate and mounting the sub-mount substrate on a printed circuit board such that the light-emitting and -receiving directions of the light-emitting element and light-receiving element are parallel to the printed circuit board; (2) aligning an optical waveguide; and (3) dropping resin solution on an area of the sub-mount substrate including an optical waveguide end and the light-emitting element or the light-receiving element, and curing the resin solution. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an optical communication module which can be made thin, small and cheap.

  • Publication number: 20030148025
    Abstract: The present invention provides a manufacturing method of optical fiber that improves the adherence between a coating and a bare optical fiber composed of silica glass during the formation of the coating on the bare optical fiber in high-speed drawing of optical fiber. In this method, the temperature of the bare optical fiber prior to being introduced into a coating material in the coating apparatus is made to be between 60 and 110° C. The bare optical fiber is cooled by blowing cooling gas onto that prior to being introduced into the coating material in the coating apparatus. Furthermore, during cooling of bare optical fiber, at least two types of cooling gases having different coefficients of thermal conductivity are mixed and blown onto the bare optical fiber. In addition, the temperature of the bare optical fiber is made to be within a prescribed range by changing the mixing ratio of the cooling gas.
