optical module

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an optical module, including: an optical sub-module (1) and a first housing (2); where a first sub-surface of the optical sub-module is provided with a first boss (11), and the first housing is provided with a first opening (21) corresponding to the first boss. The improved structure of the optical module can greatly increase heat conduction efficiency of the optical module.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to optical communication technology, in particular to an optical module. Background technique [0002] The optical module is mainly used for photoelectric conversion. The transmitting end of the optical module converts the electrical signal into an optical signal and transmits it through the optical fiber. The receiving end of the optical module converts the received optical signal into an electrical signal. During the photoelectric conversion process, the optical module will continuously generate heat. The heat generated by the optical module needs to be dissipated in time. If the heat generated by the optical module is not dissipated in time, it will affect the normal operation of the optical module. [0003] The component that generates the most heat in the optical module is the Transmitting Optical Sub-Assembly (TOSA for short). In the prior art, the heat dissipation method of the optical module is mainly as follows: setting ...
