Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an optical module comprising a carrier substrate including first electrical connection terminals on a first surface and second electrical connection terminals on a second surface electrically connected to the first electrical connection terminals. The second electrical connection terminals are connectable to a circuit carrier. The optical module further comprises an optically transparent carrier including first electrical connection terminals, and an optical element electrically connected to the optically transparent carrier. The optically transparent carrier is mechanically attached and electrically connected to the carrier substrate trough corresponding first electrical connection terminals, and the optical element is connected on a first surface of the optically transparent carrier and is adapted to emit/receive light through the optically transparent carrier to/from an optical coupling element facing a second surface of the optically transparent carrier opposing the first surface.
