In an optical module in which a transmitter and a receiver that
respectively outputs and receives optical signals are stored in a casing,
the transmitter and the receiver are connected to a common power line and
to a common ground line, and a ferrite bead is arranged on the ground
line in the receiver. The ferrite bead absorbs a high-frequency current
component out of components in an electric signal passing through the
ground line on which the ferrite bead is arranged. An inductance
component that evolves on a ground line and a power line of a light
receiving element and oscillation of a series resonance circuit that is
formed of a capacitance component of the light receiving element are
suppressed to reduce crosstalk.
