  • Patent number: 8380075
    Abstract: There are provided a downsized and low-cost optical module used as a terminal for wavelength multiplexing optical transmission and one-core bidirectional optical transmission which transmits lights of plural wavelengths through one optical fiber, and a method of manufacturing the optical module. A base on which plural optical elements are mounted, and an optical multiplexer and demultiplexer having wavelength selection filters and mirrors formed on both surfaces of a substrate are prepared. Those two parts are packed into a package so that an optical element mounted surface and a filter surface are substantially parallel to each other, and the optical elements are arranged to emit or receive lights obliquely to the base. With this configuration, because the optical multiplexer and demultiplexer can be mounted in parallel to an X-Y plane, a package can be easily machined by using a lathe, thereby enabling a reduction in the costs.
