A smaller and higher performance optical transmitter module is provided, which
can improve the reliability and which can be manufactured at lower costs and allow
for stable laser transmission of an optical semiconductor element. The optical
transmitter module which has an optical semiconductor element, an optical fiber
optically coupled to the optical semiconductor element, an inline optical isolator
provided for the optical fiber, and a package case containing the optical semiconductor
element and the optical fiber, includes a substrate member with one end of the
optical fiber on the light incident side fixed thereon to be optically coupled
to the optical semiconductor element, a thermoelectric cooler with the substrate
member joined to the top surface thereof, and a pipe-like support member projecting
from the side face of the package case for fixing the optical isolator.
