Abstract
An optical module includes a wiring board on which a first opening and a second opening are provided having, between the first and second openings, a traversing portion on which a signal wire is arranged, an optical component that is mounted on a first plane side of the first opening and the second opening of the wiring board and that generates heat, a heat sink arranged on a second plane side, which is on a reverse of the first plane side, of the first opening and the second opening of the wiring board, and an anisotropic heat dissipation sheet that is provided between the traversing portion and the heat sink, and the optical component, and that has a thermal conductivity higher in second directions, which cross the traversing portion in a plane orthogonal to first directions, than in the first directions, which are thickness directions of the wiring board.
