Abstract

An optical module includes a first base member, a second base member disposed spatially away from the first base member, a first laser disposed on the first base member and configured to emit red light, a second laser disposed on the second base member and configured to emit light with a color other than red, and a first electronic cooling module disposed in contact with the first base member and configured to adjust a temperature of the first laser.

Claims (21)

1. An optical module comprising:

a first base member;

a first submount disposed on the first base member;

a second base member disposed spatially away from the first base member, wherein the second base member is not in direct contact with the first base member;

a first laser disposed on the first submount and configured to emit red light;

a second laser disposed on the second base member and configured to emit light with a color other than red;

a first electronic cooling module disposed in contact with the first base member and configured to adjust a temperature of the first laser; and

a base supporting the first base member with the first electronic cooling module disposed between the base and the first base member, wherein

the first base member comprises a first region, a second region, and a third region;

the optical module further comprises a first lens disposed on the first base member in the first region;

the first submount is disposed on the first base member in the third region;

a thickness of the first base member in the second region is greater than a thickness of the first base member in the first region; and

a thickness of the of the first base member in the third region is greater than the thickness of the first base member in the second region.

2. The optical module according to claim 1 , wherein the second laser is configured to emit green light or blue light.

3. The optical module according to claim 1 , further comprising a second electronic cooling module disposed in contact with the second base member and configured to adjust a temperature of the second laser.

4. The optical module according to claim 3 , further comprising a protective member that surrounds the first base member, the second base member, the first laser, the second laser, the first electronic cooling module, and the second electronic cooling module.

5. The optical module according to claim 1 , wherein optical axis heights of the first laser and the second laser from a reference surface match each other.

6. The optical module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second submount disposed directly on the second base member, wherein

the first submount is disposed directly on the first base member; and

the second laser is disposed on the second submount.
