Abstract

An optical communication module includes an optical transmitter, an optical coupling lens, and an optical fiber. The optical coupling lens includes a first surface, a second surface, a reflection surface, a first lens unit, and a second lens unit. An included angle between the first surface and the second surface is 82 degrees. An included angle between the first surface and the reflection surface is 45 degrees. The first lens unit is positioned on the first surface. The second lens unit is positioned on the second surface. The optical transmitter is positioned towards the first surface and aligned with the first lens unit. An optical fiber is positioned towards the second surface and aligned with the second lens unit.
