Abstract
An optical device comprises an optical filter having a substrate and a multilayer film having layers with different refractive indexes formed on at least one side of the substrate; and an infrared light emitting and receiving device having a first conductive-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second conductive-type semiconductor layer. The multilayer film has alternatively stacked first second layers each having refractive indexes of 1.2 or more and 2.5 or less, and 3.2 or more and 4.2 or less, respectively, in a wavelength range of 2400 nm to 6000 nm. The optical filter includes a wavelength range having an average transmittance of 70% or more with a width of 50 nm or more in a wavelength range of 2400 nm to 6000 nm, and has a maximum transmittance of 5% or more in a wavelength range of 6000 nm to 8000 nm.
