A semiconductor laser and an optical fiber are optically coupled via a first
lens
and a second lens, the second lens is previously fixed to a module package and
these parts are mounted to the module package, when focal lengths of the first
lens and the second lens are respectively designated by f1 and f2,
an optical distance between a principal plane of the first lens on its side of
the second lens and a principal plane of the second lens on its side of the first
lens, is made substantially equal to f1+f2. Thereby, there is provided
an optical transmission module having low price capable of achieving a high coupling
efficiency with high yield.
