an optical module

Abstract

The invention discloses an optical module, which is used to solve the technical problem of low detection efficiency of abnormal optical modules in the prior art. The optical module includes: a housing, a circuit board and a light guide structure; a part of the light guide structure is placed in the housing, and another part of the light guide structure protrudes from the housing; the circuit board A light source is provided, and the light guide structure is used to guide the light emitted by the light source to the outside of the housing. The light guide structure in the above optical module can transmit the light emitted from the inside of the optical module to the outside of the optical module. The optical module of the present invention can transmit and present some conditions inside the optical module with the optical signal as the propagation medium. Outside the optical module, in this way, some conditions inside the optical module can be directly known from the outside of the optical module housing, further expanding the various application scenarios of the optical module.

Description

Technical field [0001] The embodiment of the present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an optical module. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of Internet services, large-scale data centers and cloud devices have been continuously built around the world. Each device needs to apply as few as a few to dozens of optical modules. In the early stage of equipment and systems When building and debugging, it will consume huge manpower and material resources. Whether the installed equipment and optical modules are working normally is not visible from the actual optical modules. Professional monitoring equipment and monitoring programs are required to read the working status information of each optical module. This monitoring equipment is generally Set in the optical module monitoring area far away from the working area of ​​the optical module. [0003] When detecting the abnormality of the optical module, it is usually nec...
