Abstract
A half-duplex, single-fiber (S-F) optical transceiver module is provided in which a light source, such as a laser diode or a light-emitting diode (LED), is mounted on an edge region of a photodiode to increase the amount of surface area of the photodiode that is available for absorbing light received in the optical transceiver module. The S-F optical transceiver module has a relatively simple optical coupling system for coupling light between an end face of an optical fiber and the photodiode and laser diode or LED with high optical coupling efficiency and reduced optical crosstalk.
