OPTICAL COMMUNICATION MODULE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical communication module which can reduce both electrical and optical crosstalk between an optical element and a photodetector even if these two elements are stored in one and the same package in order to reduce the size. SOLUTION: The optical communication module has such a structure that the photodetector 13 upon which the light from an optical fiber terminal 2 is incident and a light emitting element 14 for emitting the light which will be entered into the optical fiber terminal are stored in one and the same can 18, that the can is located in a housing 10 in such a manner that the photodetector and the light emitting element may face the optical fiber terminal, and that the photodetector and the light emitting element are optically shielded and electrically insulated from each other by an optical shield wall 12.
