Abstract

An optical mux and demux module includes: a mirror which has a reflective surface, a parallel block holder which has a first principal surface and a second principal surface arranged in parallel, where the mirror is disposed at a first principal surface side, and a plurality of band pass filters each of which has a fixing side principal surface and an incident side principal surface, where the parallel block holder is fixed on the fixing side principal surface; wherein dug portions, being the same in number with the band pass filters, are formed on the second principal surface which the parallel block holder has, and each of the plurality of band pass filters is fixed with the parallel block holder with an adhesive agent which is thrown into a dug portion.

Claims (35)

1. An optical mux and demux module, comprising:

a mirror which has a reflective surface,

a parallel block holder which has a first principal surface and a second principal surface arranged in parallel, where the mirror is disposed at a first principal surface side, and

a plurality of band pass filters each of which has a fixing side principal surface and an incident side principal surface, where the parallel block holder is fixed on the fixing side principal surface,

wherein dug portions, being the same in number with the band pass filters, are formed on the second principal surface which the parallel block holder has, and

the plurality of band pass filters are fixed with the parallel block holder with an adhesive agent which is thrown into the dug portions.

2. The optical mux and demux module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the fixing side principal surface which a band pass filter has, has a curvature radius R,

the dug portion, which is formed on the second principal surface which the parallel block holder has, has a curvature radius R 1 , and

the curvature radius R 1 of the dug portion, which is formed on the second principal surface which the parallel block holder has, is larger than the curvature radius R of the fixing side surface which the band pass filter has.

3. The optical mux and demux module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the dug portion, which is formed on the second principal surface which the parallel block holder has, includes a base surface which is made flat.

4. The optical mux and demux module according to claim 1 ,

wherein a dug portion is formed on the first principal surface which the parallel block holder has, and

the mirror is fixed with the parallel block holder with an adhesive agent which is thrown into the dug portion formed on the first principal surface.

5. An optical mux and demux module, comprising:

a mirror which has a reflective surface,

a parallel block holder which has a first principal surface and a second principal surface arranged in parallel, where the mirror is disposed at a first principal surface side,

a transparent block, which has a filter fixing surface and is disposed at a second principal surface side of the parallel block holder, and

a plurality of band pass filters each of which has a fixing side principal surface and an incident side principal surface, where the transparent block is fixed on the fixing side principal surface,

wherein dug portions, being the same in number with the band pass filters, are formed on the filter fixing surface which the transparent block has, and

the band pass filters are fixed with the transparent block with an adhesive agent which is thrown into the dug portion.

6. The optical mux and demux module according to claim 5 ,

wherein the fixing side principal surface, which the band pass filter has, has a curvature radius R,

the dug portion, which is formed on the filter fixing surface which the transparent block has, has a curvature radius R 1 , and

the curvature radius R 1 of the dug portion, which is formed on the filter fixing surface which the transparent block has, is larger than the curvature radius R of the fixing side principal surface which the band pass filter has.

7. The optical mux and demux module according to claim 5 ,

wherein the dug portion, which is formed on the filter fixing surface which the transparent block has, includes a base surface which is made flat.

8. The optical mux and demux module according to claim 5 ,

wherein a through hole is formed in the dug portion which is formed on the filter fixing surface which the transparent block has.

9. The optical mux and demux module according to claim 5 ,

wherein the transparent block is composed of a plurality of transparent block elements, and

the number of the plurality of transparent block elements is the same with the number of the plurality of band pass filters.

10. The optical mux and demux module according to claim 5 ,

further comprising a transparent block which is disposed between the parallel block holder and the mirror.
