Abstract
An optical module includes an optical connector element formed of first and second substrates for carrying optical fibers therebetween, and a device substrate carrying photodiodes on an upper major surface thereof in correspondence to the optical fibers, wherein the optical connector element is mounted upon the device substrate such that end surfaces of the first and second substrates face the principal surface of the device substrate and such that polygonal projections provided on the principal surface of the device substrate for positioning engage with corresponding spaces formed between the first and second substrates at the foregoing end surfaces.
