ABSTRACT:
An optical bidirectional module10having therein light emitting element11which transmits optical signal to the end facet of the optical fiber, light receiving element12which receives optical signal from the end facet of the optical fiber and stair-shaped multi-level grating15, wherein the stair-shaped multi-level grating separates the first light path between the end facet of optical fiber and the light emitting element and the second light path between the end facet of optical fiber and the light receiving element by a different wavelength of each optical signal, when the module mixes and separates optical signal with different wavelengths traveling in opposite directions related to the end facet of the optical fiber1,used for bidirectional optical fiber communication by means of a wavelength multiplex system.
