Abstract
Provided is a single-fiber bi-directional optical transceiver sub-assembly capable of improving the wavelength separation characteristics of a multiplexing/demultiplexing filter while also attaining a compact size. A single-fiber bi-directional optical transceiver sub-assembly is provided with a housing, an optical receptacle, a multiplexing/demultiplexing filter, a receiving-side photoelectric converter, a transmitting-side photoelectric converter, an isolator, and a collimating lens. The multiplexing/demultiplexing filter is disposed on the optical path between the optical receptacle and the transmitting-side photoelectric converter and on the optical path between the optical receptacle and the receiving-side photoelectric converter. The isolator passes optical signals outputted from the transmitting-side photoelectric converter and blocks optical signals proceeding to the transmitting-side photoelectric converter. The collimating lens is disposed at a position that fits into the external size of the housing, and collimates incident light on the multiplexing/demultiplexing filter.
