Abstract
An optical device includes a photoelectric conversion element provided on a substrate, and a single mode fiber configured to guide light input to and output from the photoelectric conversion element toward a first direction perpendicular or obliquely upward with respect to the substrate or from the first direction. The single mode fiber has a curved portion that curves with a predetermined radius of curvature. The curved portion converts a propagating direction of the light between the first direction and a second direction that is different from the first direction, and radiates a higher order mode.
