Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for a prism and to simplify low-cost optical axis adjustment by polishing the tip of the lens of a light emitting element collimator slantingly and forming an interference film filter on the surface. CONSTITUTION:The tip of the lens 5 which collimates light (wavelength lambda1) emitted by the light emitting element 1 of the light emitting element collimator 9 into collimated light is polished slantingly and the interference film filter 8 is formed on the surface to provide the function of a multiplexing and demultiplexing element. The light with the wavelength lambda1 which is emitted by the light emitting element 1 is collimated by the lens 5, converged by the lens 7 of an optical fiber collimator 11, and coupled with an optical fiber 3. Further, light with wavelength lambda2 which is emitted by the optical fiber 3 is collimated by the lens 7, reflected by the interference film filter 8 formed on the slantingly polished surface of the lens 5, and converged by the lens 6 of a light receiving element collimator 10, and the converged light is coupled with a light receiving element 2.

Conventional wavelength division multiplexing transmitter/receiver modules use prisms and interference film filters as multiplexing/demultiplexing elements, which requires a large number of parts and complicates optical axis adjustment. The disadvantage is that one or two prisms with high dimensional accuracy are required, which hinders cost reduction.

The wavelength division multiplexing transmitting/receiving module of the present invention includes a light emitting element collimator consisting of a light emitting element and a lens, a light receiving element collimator consisting of a light receiving element lens, and an optical fiber collimator consisting of an optical fiber and a lens. By polishing the tip of the prism diagonally and forming an interference film filter on that surface, it has the multiplexing and demultiplexing function of a conventional prism and interference film filter. In this way, the prism that was previously required is no longer necessary.

In the figure, the tip of a lens 5 for collimating the light (wavelength λ1) emitted from the light emitting element (2) of the light emitting element collimator 9 is polished obliquely, and an interference film filter 8 is formed on that surface. It has the function of a wave element. Light with a wavelength λ1 emitted from the light emitting element 1 is collimated by the lens 5, collected by the lens 7 of the optical fiber collimator II, and coupled to the optical fiber 3. Further, the light with wavelength λ2 emitted from the optical fiber 3 is collimated by the lens 7, reflected by the interference film filter 8 formed on the obliquely polished surface of the lens 5, and condensed by the lens 6 of the light receiving element collimator 10. It is coupled to the light receiving element 2.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing another embodiment of the present invention. The difference between the figure and FIG. 1 is that the end surfaces of lenses 6 and 7 are also obliquely polished like lens 5, and other aspects are the same as in FIG. 1.
