Further, the FPC 7 has a portion facing the protrusion 9 of the stem 1.
- the ground connection land 18 is a land that constitutes a ground.
- the ground connection land 18 is formed at a position facing the protrusion 9 in the FPC 7.

- Such ground connection lands 18 can eliminate the need for the fifth lead pin 2e as a ground pin. Therefore, the area
- the welding portion 6 (FIG. 10) existing at the root of the ground pin is not necessary because the ground pin is not required. Therefore, the FPC 7 can be in close contact with the back main surface 1 b of the stem 1 even in the region where the weld portion 6 exists. As a result, the high frequency characteristics can be improved through the reduction of the inductance of the first lead pin 2a and the second lead pin 2b as signal pins, and the transmission speed can be increased.

- the vertical and horizontal arrows shown in FIG. 1 are appropriately drawn in the other drawings.
- the heat dissipation of the stem 1 can be improved in the optical module 100A of the present embodiment. This is because the ground connection area between the stem 1 and the FPC 7 can be significantly increased as compared with the comparative example using the fifth lead pin 2e having a small diameter as the ground pin. Therefore, it is easy to cope with the increase in heat generation density due to the miniaturization, and as a result, the reliability of the miniaturized optical module can be improved.
- the optical module 100B shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B is an optical module using the light receiving TO-CAN type package of the present embodiment.
- the difference between the optical module 100B of the present embodiment and the optical module 100A of the first embodiment is mainly that (1) the photodiode 4 is disposed on the amplifier 5, (2) the lead pins 2a to 2d There are two points of changing the position so as to surround the amplifier 5.

Therefore, considerable space is formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the stem 1. If no other element or lead pin is disposed in this empty space, the stem 1 can be further miniaturized by forming both ends in the longitudinal direction of the stem 1 flat. In other words, the shape of the stem 1 is cut out parallel to the straight line connecting the first lead pin 2a and the second lead pin 2b for signals arranged in the lateral direction across the amplifier 5, The connection lands 18, 18 and the projections 9, 9 are disposed substantially on the straight line. Such an arrangement can further miniaturize the optical module.

ことを特徴とする光モジュールである。
その他の発明については、実施形態で説明する。
まず、本発明の比較例となる光モジュールについて説明する。図10(a),(b)に示す比較例の光モジュール200は、従来の光受信用TO-CAN型パッケージを用いる光モジュールである。図10(a),(b)に示すように、光モジュール200は、ステム1と、5本のリードピン2a~2eと、ガラス3a~3dと、フォトダイオード4と、増幅器5と、溶接部6と、FPC(Flexible Printed Circuit:フレキシブル基板)7と、を備える。
溶接部6は、第5のリードピン2eをステム1の裏主面1bに溶接されるビードである。溶接部6の径は、第5のリードピン2eの径よりも一回り大きい。
増幅器5は、光信号から変換された電気信号を増幅する電気素子である。増幅器5は、ステム1の表主面1aに、かつ、ステム1の中心付近に配置されている。
上記のように構成することで、フォトダイオード4が受信した光信号が第1のリードピン2aと第2のリードピン2bとの差動電気信号として出力される。この出力された差動電気信号は、光受信用TO-CAN型パッケージに取り付けられたFPC7を介して外部に取り出される。
図10(b)に示す符号40b,40c,40eはそれぞれ、リードピン2b,2c,2eの各々との電気的な接続手段となるはんだ8b,8c,8eの各々のランドである。
図1(a)~(c)に示す光モジュール100Aは、本実施形態の光受信用TO-CAN型パッケージを用いる光モジュールである。図1(a)~(c)に示すように、光モジュール100Aは、ステム1と、4本のリードピン2a~2dと、ガラス3a~3dと、フォトダイオード4(素子:光素子)と、増幅器5(素子:電気素子)と、FPC7(基板:フレキシブル基板)と、を備える。フォトダイオード4および増幅器5は、互いに近傍に配置されている。
なお、本実施形態の突起部9は、ステム1の板厚と同様の厚みを有しているが、これに限定されない。
なお、図1に示すように、縦方向に直交する方向を「横方向」と呼ぶ場合がある。図1に示す縦方向および横方向の矢印は、他の図にも適宜描かれている。
図3(a)、(b)に示す光モジュール100Bは、本実施形態の光受信用TO-CAN型パッケージを用いる光モジュールである。本実施形態の光モジュール100Bと、第1の実施形態の光モジュール100Aとの相違点は、主に、(1)フォトダイオード4を増幅器5上に配置したこと、(2)リードピン2a~2dを増幅器5を囲うような位置に変更していること、の2点である。ステム1の中心とグランド接続用ランド18(または突起部9)の中心とを結ぶ直線の方向は、横方向である。
また、突起部9は、ステム1の側面に配置されているので、FPC7を組み付ける際の目印となる。よって、光モジュール100Aの製造者は、突起部9を参照することで、ピン配置が図3のように中心対称になっている場合においても、ステム1とFPC7の端子を間違えなく接続することが容易になる。
図5(a)、(b)に示す光モジュール100Cは、本実施形態の光受信用TO-CAN型パッケージを用いる光モジュールである。本実施形態の光モジュール100Cと、第2の実施形態の光モジュール100Bとの相違点は、主に、ステム1の外周部に平坦部を設けたことである。また、光モジュール100Cは、ステム1の中心を挟んで2つのグランド接続用ランド18と、2つの突起部9とを備え、グランド接続用ランド18の各々にはんだ8が設けられている点においても光モジュール100A,100Bとは相違している。なお、光モジュール100Cにおけるグランド接続用ランド18の個数、突起部9の個数、ステム1の周方向におけるグランド接続用ランド18の位置、突起部9の位置は、本実施形態に限らず、他の実施形態にも適用することができる。また、図5(a)に示すように、FPC7の横方向の幅は、グランド接続用ランド18が存在する部分を除いて、ステム1の横方向の幅と同じにすることができる。このような形状も本実施形態に限らず、他の実施の形態にも適用できる。
図7(a)、(b)に示す光モジュール100Dは、本実施形態の光送信用TO-CAN型パッケージを用いる光モジュールである。本実施形態の光モジュール100Dと、第1の実施形態の光モジュール100Aとの相違点は、主に、(1)フォトダイオード4の代わりにレーザダイオードであるVCSEL(Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting LASER)30(レーザダイオード:素子:光素子)を備えたこと、(2)増幅器5の代わりにドライバ50(駆動回路:素子:電気素子)を備えたこと、(3)バイアス用のリードピンを1本のリードピン2cにし、信号入力用のリードピン2aと、反転信号入力用のリードピン2bの計3本のリードピンを備えたこと、の3点である。
ドライバ50は、VCSEL30が光信号を出射するための駆動信号を出力する。
図8(a)、(b)に示す光モジュール100Eは、本実施形態の光送信用TO-CAN型パッケージを用いる光モジュールである。本実施形態の光モジュール100Eと、第4の実施形態の光モジュール100Dとの相違点は、主に、(1)VCSEL30をドライバ50の上に配置したこと、(2)リードピン2a~2cをドライバ50を囲うような位置に変更していること、(3)ステム1の外周部に平坦部を設けたこと、の3点である。図8(a)に示すように、VCSEL30およびドライバ50は、ステム1の表主面1aの中心に配置されている。
図9(a)、(b)に示す光モジュール100Fは、本実施形態の光送信用TO-CAN型パッケージを用いる光モジュールである。本実施形態の光モジュール100Fと、第5の実施形態の光モジュール100Eとの相違点は、主に、ドライバ50の代わりにモニタ用フォトダイオード21(素子:光素子)を備えることである。図8(a)に示すように、VCSEL30およびモニタ用フォトダイオード21は、ステム1の表主面1aの中心に配置されている。また、VCSEL30は、モニタ用フォトダイオード21の上に配置されている。なお、ドライバはFPC7が接続されるマザーボードに搭載される(図示せず)。
図13に示す光モジュール100Gは、本実施形態の光受信用TO-CAN型パッケージを用いる光モジュールである。本実施形態の光モジュール100Gと、第2の実施形態の光モジュール100Bとの相違点は、光入射用の窓またはレンズを備えるキャップ14をステム1に装着し、さらに光接続部品15(図4参照)として光ファイバスタブ24と呼ばれる部品を用い、これをキャップ14上に調心固定していることである。光ファイバスタブ24は、光ファイバ素線24aと円筒型セラミック24bから構成される部品である。好適には、光ファイバスタブ24は、機械的強度に優れる円筒型セラミック24bの中心に光ファイバ素線24aとほぼ同径の穴を開け、その穴の中に光ファイバ素線24aを貫通させた後に両端を光学研磨した部品とすることができる。
本発明は、上記実施形態に限定されることなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で、変更実施が可能であり、例えば、以下の(a)~(i)がある。
(a)本実施形態では、ステム1に突起部9が備えられた場合について説明したが、突起部9を備えていない形態のステムとし、FPC7のグランド接続用ランド18とステム本体部の側面とをはんだ付け(グランド接続)しても構わない。
(b)本実施形態で用いるレーザダイオードは、VCSEL30に限定されず、DFB(Distributed FeedBack)レーザやその他のレーザダイオードであってもよい。また、発光ダイオードであっても構わない。
(c)本実施形態では、基板としてFPC7を適用した場合について説明したが、FPC7に限らず、リジッドな基板であっても本発明を適用することができる。
(e)グランド接続用ランド18とステム1の突起部9との電気的な接続手段は、はんだに限定されず、導電性樹脂などでもよい。
(g)第5の実施形態にて、第3のリードピン2cを、ドライバ50の下側に配置したが、第3のリードピン2cを、ドライバ50の上側に配置してもよい。これにより、ドライバ50の下側に相当大きな空きスペースが形成される。よって、ステム1の形状を、この空きスペースの大部分を切り欠いた形状とすることで、ステム1の縦方向の寸法を大幅に小さくすることができる。さらに、ステム1を密着させたFPC7を屈曲させてマザーボード17に実装させる際、FPC7の屈曲位置をステム1の中心により近付けることができる。その結果、光モジュール100E全体を小型化、具体的には、縦方向に関して低背化することができる。
また、グランド接続用ランド18は、接続部の周辺に設けられればよく、ステム1の外縁や外側に限定されない。
その他、本発明の構成要素の形状、材質、機能などについて、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で適宜変更が可能である。
