Abstract
An optical module includes support substrate, an optical waveguide on the support substrate, a photoreception device on the support substrate, an optical path conversion part for converting an optical path of an optical beam guided through the optical waveguide from a first optical path to a second optical path that leads to a photodetection area of said photoreception device, wherein the optical path conversion part is provided on the photodetection device as a part thereof, such that the optical beam emitted from the optical waveguide impinges upon the photodetection area of the photoreception device.
