An optical transmitter module is described. The optical transmitter module
includes a lead pin for electrically connecting the inside and outside of
a housing, and a flexible printed circuit board connected to the lead
pin. The flexible printed circuit board has a signal pattern and two
ground conductor patterns to be connected to an optical modulation
element, a laser terminal pattern to be connected to a semiconductor
laser, a Peltier terminal pattern to be connected to a Peltier element,
and two covering conductive layers in addition to a layer on which such
patterns are formed. The covering conductive layers cover all the
patterns except for the signal pattern.
