An optical demultiplexer having at least one Bragg diffraction grating for
minimizing crosstalk on the sides of transmitting and receiving optical
signals, as well as an optical communication module using the optical
demultiplexer. The optical demultiplexer has first and second waveguides
arranged adjacent each other in a predetermined section in order to
perform mode coupling, so that the optical signals input through one end
of the first waveguide are transmitted to a light receiving element
through the second waveguide, and in which output light waves inputted
through the other end of the first waveguide are output through the one
end of the first waveguide. A first Bragg diffraction grating is formed
on the second waveguide and haa wavelength selectivity, for minimizing
crosstalk by transmitting a reception wavelength of the optical signals
at about 100% and by reflecting a wavelength of the output light waves at
about 100%.
