Abstract

An optical module includes: a substrate; one or more light sources that produce light that is an optical signal; one or more light reflection units that change the direction of travel of the light to a direction substantially perpendicular to the substrate; one or more optical waveguides that optically connect the one or more light sources and the one or more light reflection units to each other; and a lid that is attached to the substrate to cover the one or more light sources, the one or more light reflection units and the one or more optical waveguides. The lid has one or more lenses that collimate light directed by the one or more light reflection units and transmit the light to the outside of the lid.
