Abstract
An optical receptacle disposed between a photoelectric conversion device and an optical fiber includes a light separating section for separating incident light into monitor light and fiber coupled light, which section includes a segmented reflective surface and a segmented transmitting surface. The reflective surface for reflecting light as monitor light is disposed in a segmented manner with spaces in a segmentation direction. The transmitting surface is disposed in a segmented manner in areas where the reflective surface is not disposed, so as to transmit a portion of light other than the reflected light in a direction directly oppose to the direction of the reflected light and to advance the other portion of light towards the side of an end face of the optical fiber.
