Wavelength division element and optical module

摘要

A wavelength division element includes a first filter and a second filter. The first filter has incident angle-to-transmission wavelength characteristics and separates multiplexed lights in a plurality of wavelength bands into first lights that are in a first wavelength band and first reflected lights. The first filter allows the first lights to pass through in a first direction and reflects the first reflected lights in a second direction. The second filter is located in the second direction and separates the first reflected lights into second lights that are in a second wavelength band and second reflected lights. The second filter allows the second lights to pass through in a third direction and reflects the second reflected lights in a fourth direction.
