Abstract
A module for optical communication includes an optical fiber having an axial-end surface and an optical element having an optical surface facing the axial-end surface in such a manner that light is transmitted between the optical surface and the axial-end surface. The optical surface defines a first plane that is not perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the optical fiber. A synthetic resin is provided between the optical surface of the optical element and the axial-end surface of the optical fiber so that light is transmitted through the synthetic resin.
