Problems solved by technology

With parallel schemes, interface density can become the main bottleneck
With the wavelength division multiplexing scheme, the number of wavelengths of the laser needs to be increased, and the wavelength interval must be reduced accordingly. The resulting problems of cost and crosstalk will also become the bottleneck of high channel density optical modules.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical modules, and more specifically relates to a dual fan-in and fan-out multi-channel optical module based on an MPO interface. Background technique [0002] At present, high-speed optical modules mainly include SR4, PSM4, SR8, and SR16 for parallel transmission, and CWDM4, LR4, ER4, FR8, LR8, and ER8 for wavelength division multiplexing transmission schemes. Parallel transmission uses parallel transmission of multiple optical fibers to achieve high-speed transmission of a single module. For example, SR4 and PSM4 use 4 optical fibers to receive light and 4 optical fibers to emit light to realize 8-channel transmission and reception. SR8 needs to use 8 receptions and 8 transmissions, a total of 16 optical fibers for parallel transmission, and so on. The parallel solution needs to use high-density MPO connectors to connect with optical modules. The higher the number of channels, the higher the density ...
