Particularly when the bit rate is in the order of gigabits / second (Gbps), long-distance transmission becomes difficult due to the spread of a wavelength range called wavelength chirping and the optical dispersion characteristics of an optical fiber.

Thereafter, the substrate 2a is placed at a predetermined position on the bottom surface of a housing 4 made of a material having a low coefficient of thermal expansion near room temperature, such as Super Invar, for example, as indicated by an arrow B, and the two are bonded and fixed together with an optical fiber. Reference numeral 3 denotes a V formed at a predetermined position on the peripheral wall of the housing 4 in an area covered with the protective resin film 3a.
It is fitted into the groove 4a as shown by the arrow C, and is adhesively fixed with a thermosetting epoxy resin or the like. Further, the lid 5 is fixed to the housing 4 as shown by the arrow D, and a required external part shown in (2-2) The modulator 1 is configured.

In this case, if the ambient atmosphere fluctuates in temperature,
The optical fiber 3 having a coefficient of thermal expansion greater than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the housing 4 receives thermal stress due to temperature fluctuation between the fixed optical fiber bonding surface 2a- 1 and the peripheral wall of the housing 4.

This means that when the optical fiber 3 is fixed to the housing 4 in a tensioned state as shown by a dashed line E, the optical fiber receives a compressive stress due to a temperature fluctuation of the surrounding atmosphere, and is bent or moved at the bonding position. It means that peeling is likely to occur, and at the same time, the connection loss at the connection portion fluctuates.

Therefore, when the optical fiber 3 is bonded and fixed to the V groove 4a provided at a predetermined position on the peripheral wall of the housing 4 in the area covered with the protective resin film 3a, the optical fiber 3 is previously buckled and deformed as shown by a solid line F. It is bent and fixed in the state.

However, in this case, the buckling deformation of the optical fiber 3 applies an internal stress to the fiber 3, and when the buckling deformation is large, the risk of breaking the fiber 3 itself increases. In particular, since two fixed portions of both ends, that is, the ruby beads 3b and the peripheral wall of the housing become inflection points at the time of buckling deformation, bending stress is always concentrated on the fixed portion, and when the radius of curvature is reduced, There is a drawback that the part is easily broken.
