Abstract
An optical-communication module includes an arrayed waveguide grating; a light transmitter including light-emitting elements for emitting first signal beams into the arrayed waveguide grating, wherein the first signal beams are converged into one first communication beam in the arrayed waveguide grating; a wavelength division multiplexing filter is used to transmit the first communication beam emitted by the arrayed waveguide grating to an optical fiber; an optical receiver including optical sensor for sensing second signal beams emitted from the arrayed waveguide grating. The optical fiber is used for transmitting a second communication beam to the wavelength division multiplexing filter. The second communication light beam enters the arrayed waveguide grating through the wavelength division multiplexing filter. The second communication beam is divided into the second signal beams in the arrayed waveguide grating.
