Abstract
An optical receptacle has a first optical surface which receives incidence of light from a light emitting element, a reflecting surface which reflects the light along a substrate, a light separating section which separates light reflected at the reflecting surface into monitor light and signal light, a second optical surface which emits the monitor light toward a light receiving element, and a third optical surface which emits the signal light toward an optical fiber. The light separating section has a plurality of splitting transmissive surfaces which are vertical surfaces with respect to the optical axis of the light reflected at the reflecting surface and a plurality of splitting reflecting surfaces which are inclining surfaces with respect to the optical axis of the light reflected at the reflecting surface. The splitting transmissive surfaces and the splitting reflecting surfaces are alternately disposed in a first direction and in a second direction.
