ABSTRACT:
At least one of end portions of a light-carrying core portion of a single-conductor optical fiber has an enlarged portion, which is a portion of the core portion larger than other portions of the core portion. An optical communications module includes a light emitting element which generates outgoing light, a sending lens which couples the outgoing light with an end portion of the single-conductor optical fiber, a light receiving element which receives incoming light from the single-conductor optical fiber, and a reflecting mirror which couples the incoming light with the light receiving element. The light emitting element and the sending lens are disposed so that the area in the end portion of the single-conductor optical fiber coupled with the outgoing light is at least partially included in the enlarged portion. The light receiving element and the reflecting mirror are disposed so as to receive incoming light that emerges from the end portion of the single-conductor optical fiber having the enlarged portion.
