Abstract

A method for correcting or hammering a deformation which occurs in the multi-channel optoelectronic module and is caused by a post welding shift. The multi-channel optoelectronic module has an optical fiber support member for supporting an optical fiber array. The method includes the steps of: assembling the multi-channel optoelectronic module by using a laser welding process; and forming at least one welded portion on a predetermined position of said optical fiber supporting member corresponding to the deformation to thereby recover the deformation by using a shrinkage effect of the welded portion.
