An optical module includes a fiber array, a laser diode array, a
photodiode array and a micro-lens array. The fiber array includes optical
fibers which are divided to a transmitter group and a receiver group. The
laser diode array includes laser diodes which are grouped in a
transmitter group. The photodiode array includes photodiodes which are
divided to a monitor group and a receiver group. The laser diode array is
provided between the fiber array and the photodiode array. The optical
fibers of the transmitter group are optically aligned with the laser
diodes of the transmitter group, respectively. The micro-lens array is
provided between the laser diode array and the photodiode array, and
optically aligns the laser diodes of the transmitter group and the
optical fibers of the receiver group with the photodiodes of the monitor
group and the photodiodes of the receiver group, respectively.
