Patent ID: 8265486

Claim:
An optical communication module comprising: a platform configured to have a through-hole therein which vertically passes through the platform; an optical receiver configured to be provided on the platform and include a light-receiving element and an amplifier for converting current generated by the light-receiving element into voltage and then amplifying the voltage; an optical transmitter configured to be provided on the platform and include a light-emitting element; and an optical filter configured to be provided on one surface of the platform to correspond to the through-hole, transmit light from the light-emitting element to an optical line, and transmit light input through the optical line to the light-receiving element, an optical line focusing lens configured to be provided between the optical line and the optical filter; and an optical receiver focusing lens configured to be provided between the light-receiving element and the optical filter, wherein one of the light-receiving element and the light-emitting element is provided on one surface of the platform on an opposite side of the optical line with the optical filter interposed therebetween, and the other is provided on the other surface of the platform to correspond to the through-hole and a first groove on which the optical line focusing lens is placed is formed on one surface of the platform, and a second groove for receiving the amplifier together with the light-receiving element or the light-emitting element is formed on the other surface of the platform.
