Abstract

An optical device module includes a stub ferrule for guiding a laser light to an optical fiber to be connected, a sleeve for holding an optical-connector ferrule of the optical fiber to be connected and the stub ferrule, a holder for fixing the stub ferrule and the sleeve, and an adapter for connecting the holder and an optical module, in which the sleeve is formed by a nonmetallic material, reducing the structure of metal portion and restraining the antenna effect when electromagnetic noise enters.

Claims (18)

1. An optical device module of an optical receptacle structure, comprising:

a stub ferrule arranged to guide a laser light to an optical fiber to be connected thereto;

a sleeve arranged to hold an optical-connector ferrule of said optical fiber to be connected to said stub ferrule;

a sleeve cover to cover said sleeve,

a holder fixing said stub ferrule and said sleeve,

wherein said sleeve and said sleeve cover are formed by a ceramic material;

wherein said sleeve is a slot sleeve, and said slot sleeve is mounted in a semi-fixed manner in relation to said holder, said sleeve cover and said stub ferrule;

wherein said holder is provided with a groove for fixing said stub ferrule and said sleeve cover by press-fitting and for mounting said slot sleeve in a semi-fixed manner, and said holder is formed by a metallic material and has the same thermal expansion coefficient as that of said sleeve cover; and

an adapter arranged to connect said holder to an optical module.

2. An optical receptacle arranged to be connected to an optical connector, comprising:

a stub ferrule arranged to guide a laser light to an optical fiber to be connected thereto;

a sleeve arranged to hold an optical-connector ferrule of said optical fiber to be connected to said stub ferrule;

a sleeve cover to cover said sleeve;

a holder fixing said stub ferrule and said sleeve;

wherein said sleeve and said sleeve cover are formed by a monolithic ceramic material;

wherein said sleeve is a slot sleeve, and said slot sleeve is mounted in a semi-fixed manner in relation to said holder, said sleeve cover and said stub ferrule;

wherein said holder is provided with a groove for fixing said stub ferrule and said sleeve cover by press-fitting and for mounting said slot sleeve in a semi-fixed manner, and said holder is formed by a metallic material and has the same thermal expansion coefficient as that of said sleeve cover; and

an adapter arranged to connect said holder to an optical module.
