Abstract

There are provided an optical receiver module with an improvement in high frequency characteristic and reduction in size. The optical receiver module includes a substrate, an IC provided with two or more IC terminals, a light receiving element disposed in front of the IC, provided with two or more PD terminals and having a light receiving window, and a first optical component disposed in front of the IC provided with two bridge footing sections, and a lens main body section located between upper portions of the two bridge footing sections, the lens main body section is provided with a lens and a mirror, and a distance L 1 between a position A of the lens and a position B of the light receiving window is longer than a distance L 2 between the position B and a position C of an end part of the two bridge footing sections.

Claims (14)

1. An optical receiver module comprising:

a substrate;

an IC disposed on a surface of the substrate, provided with two or more IC terminals disposed along an end part, and having an amplification function;

a light receiving element disposed on the surface of the substrate and in front of the IC, provided with two or more PD terminals respectively connected to the two or more IC terminals through two or more wires, and having a light receiving window through which light externally enters the light receiving element; and

a first optical component disposed on the surface of the substrate and in front of the IC so as to cover the light receiving element, and provided with two bridge footing sections rising upward from the surface of the substrate, and a lens main body section supported by the two bridge footing sections, and located between upper portions of the two bridge footing sections, wherein

the lens main body section has a rising surface disposed in front, and is provided with a lens disposed on the rising surface and adapted to converge light entering the lens, and a mirror adapted to reflect the light converged by the lens to converge the light on the light receiving window of the light receiving element, and

a distance L 1 between a position A of the lens with respect to an end part of the IC and a position B of the light receiving window of the light receiving element is longer than a distance L 2 between the position B with respect to the end part of the IC and a position C of an end part on the IC side of the two bridge footing sections of the first optical component in a planar view.

2. The optical receiver module according to claim 1 , wherein

a ratio of the distance L 2 to the distance L 1 is no lower than 0.07 and lower than 1.0.

3. An optical module comprising:

the optical receiver module according to claim 1 ; and

an optical transmitter module.

4. An optical transmission equipment comprising:

the optical module according to claim 3 .
