An optical element module package with a TO-can structure is disclosed.
The module includes a laser diode for projecting optical signals and a
photo diode for monitoring the optical signals projected from the laser
diode. The package includes a stem having a first through-hole formed in
a long-hole shape parallel to the diametrical direction of the stem, the
first through-hole extending through the stem from one side to the other;
and a plurality of leads arranged in a row through the first
through-hole. The first through-hole is filled with a sealant of a glass
material so that the stem and the leads are fixed.
