The invention provides an
optical module. The
optical module comprises a circuit board, and an array
waveguide grating, a reflector, and a PD array reception
chip arranged on the circuit board, the array
waveguide grating is connected with the reflector, the PD array reception
chip is electrically connected with the circuit board, the PD array reception
chip is used for receiving light transmittedby the array
waveguide grating and emitted by the reflector, the array
waveguide grating and the reflector are arranged opposite to the circuit board in a height direction of the circuit board, the circuit board is provided with a sunk groove arranged along the height direction of the circuit board, the array
waveguide grating is arranged opposite to the sunk groove in the height direction of thecircuit board, and the array
waveguide grating is fixedly arranged in the sunk groove. The circuit board is provided with the recessed sunk groove along the height direction of the circuit board so that the
coupling space of the array waveguide grating and the reflector in the height direction can be increased, the distance from the bottom surface of the reflector to the PD array reception chip is shortened, the
coupling performance of a receiving end is enhanced, the sunk groove can increase the space, used for fixing the array waveguide grating, of the circuit board, and the fixing stability of the array waveguide grating is improved.
