Abstract
There is provided an optical module. The optical module includes a light source, a wave guide to which beam output from the light source is input, a lens system configured to optically combining the light source and the wave guide, a first lens mount positioned between the light source and the lens system in an optical axis of the light source, a first adhesive configured to fix the lens system to the first lens mount, a second lens mount positioned between the wave guide and the lens system in the optical axis of the light source, and a second adhesive configured to fix the lens system to the second lens mount. Therefore, it is possible to precisely align light, to manufacture the optical module with small expenses, and to simplify processes and equipment.
