A duplex module for simultaneous bidirectional transmit-receive communication with the end of an optical fiber or fiber bundle. The end face of an optical fiber in optical coupling registry with one end of a common bidirectional transmit-receive optical path is tilted to divert any transmit signal back-reflected from such end out of such path. The other end of the transmit-receive path is affiliated with signal receiver and transmitter means via a beam splitter.
