Abstract
A bidirectional optical subassembly, an optical transceiver including the same, and methods of making and using the same are disclosed. The optical subassembly includes a photodiode configured to receive an incoming optical signal, a transmitter configured to transmit an outgoing optical signal, and a passive optical signal processing unit including a filter and a mirror. The filter is at a first predetermined angle relative to an optical path of the outgoing optical signal and is configured to (i) reflect one of the outgoing optical signal and the incoming optical signal and (ii) allow the other of the outgoing optical signal and the incoming optical signal to pass through. The mirror is configured to reflect the one of the outgoing optical signal and the incoming optical signal at a second predetermined angle. The first predetermined angle is adapted to reduce filter insertion losses.
