Abstract
A reflector for use in an optical transceiver module and methods for making and using the reflector are provided. The methods for making the reflector reduce the amount of processing and handling of the wafer that are required, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and increasing yield. The reflector may have a diffraction-inducing structure formed thereon such that light received from the light source is redirected in a plurality of directions, including toward a lens that couples light into an end of a transmit fiber and in at least one other direction for being sensed by a detector that converts the detected light into electrical energy.
