Patent number: 10326253Abstract: An optical module and a method of assembling the optical module are disclosed. The optical module comprises a laser unit, a modulator unit, and a detector unit mounted on respective thermo-electric coolers (TECs). The modulator unit, which is arranged on an optical axis of the first output port from which a modulated beam is output, modulates the continuous wave (CW) beam output from the laser unit. On the other hand, the laser unit and the detector unit are arranged on another optical axis of the second output port from which another CW beam is output. The method of assembling the optical module first aligns one of the first combination of the laser unit and the modulator unit with the first output port and the second combination of the laser unit and the detector unit, and then aligns another of the first combination and the second combination.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Kazuhiro Yamaji, Yasushi Fujimura, Toru Watanabe, Yasuyuki Yamauchi, Tomoya Saeki, Munetaka Kurokawa
