ABSTRACT:
A two-way optical communication module includes a main waveguide which is optically coupled to an optical fiber and directs light incident from the optical fiber to a light-receiving element and a sub waveguide which is optically coupled to the side of the main waveguide and directs light emitted from a light-emitting element to the optical fiber so as to carry out an efficient two-way optical communication by using one optical fiber without the necessity for an optical branch device. With this arrangement, it is possible to provide an inexpensive and small-sized two-way optical communication module which readily enables an integration with other elements so as to exhibit suitability for a small-scale network, and to provide a two-way optical communication link which uses the two-way optical communication module.
