Abstract:
An optical apparatus, comprising:a main body unit; a connector; an optical transmission medium connected to the main body unit by the connector, the optical transmission medium comprising an end face; a light emitting element configured to radiate a transmission signal; a light receiving element comprising a surface positioned to receive a reception signal from the optical transmission medium so as to define a reception optical path; and an optical component comprising a body enclosed by at least a second surface disposed at an acute angle relative to the surface of the light receiving element and configured to substantially reflect both S-polarized light and P-polarized light incident on the second surface, a first surface disposed between the second surface and the light emitting source, a supporting surface disposed between the first surface and the second surface, and a coupling surface disposed between the first surface and the second surface and between the supporting surface and the end face of the optical transmission medium.
