Abstract: An optical device comprises an optical head and a package containing the optical head and having pins led outside. A V-groove is formed in one side of a glass substrate. On the other side, the glass substrate is secured to the base of the package. A PD array and the pins are electrically interconnected through a gold electrode pattern formed on a mounting face of a submount, through holes, electrode pads formed on the top of the submount, and wires.

Abstract: A driving module for a laser diode has a submount substrate 1 for juxtaposing laser diodes 6, 6 and a driver IC 2. The driver IC 2 has an electric current switch circuit 3 for operating the laser diode 6, a output buffer circuit 4, and an input amplifying circuit 5. A power pattern 8 of a band shape is formed on the submount substrate 1 side by side with a line of the laser diodes 6. A connecting pad 14 for supplying an electric current to the electric current switch circuit 3 is arranged adjacent to a connecting portion with each laser diode 6. The operating electric current is supplied from this connecting pad 14 to the electric current switch circuit 3 by wire bonding.
