Unless specifically stated, they can be replaced by other equivalent or similar-purpose alternative features, that is, unless specifically stated, each feature is just one embodiment of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0048] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , a high-speed optical waveguide switch chip packaging module in one of the numerous embodiments of the present invention, includes a metallized optical fiber 1, an upper cover 2, mounting screws 3, a fiber optic array with double-headed connectors 4, a base 5, a monitoring feedthrough capacitor 6, a power supply feedthrough capacitor 7, a first RF connection ceramic substrate 8, an optical waveguide chip 9, a monitoring feedthrough capacitor connection ceramic substrate 10, a first SMA RF connector 11, a first support block 12, a semiconductor cooler 13, a second support block 14, a second RF connection ceramic substrate 20, and a second SMA RF connector 21.

[0049] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention is a BOX package, and the frame structure includes a base 5 and an upper cover 2. The base 5 includes a receiving cavity, and the upper cover 2 is disposed on the base 5 to cover the receiving cavity. The base 5 and the upper cover 2 are fixed by 8 screws 3, with a firm structure, convenient for disassembly, installation and repair, and at the same time effectively improving the anti-vibration performance of the module.

[0050] See also Figure 2 、 5, the optical waveguide chip 9 is disposed in the receiving cavity of the base 5, and includes an incident light port waveguide 18, two output light port waveguides 19, two ground electrode coatings 16, and a radio frequency electrode coating 17; the two ground electrode coatings 16 and the radio frequency electrode coating 17 are disposed on the upper surface of the optical waveguide chip 9, the radio frequency electrode coating 17 is located between the two ground electrode coatings 16, and there is a gap between the two ground electrode coatings 16 and the radio frequency electrode coating 17. The incident light port waveguide 18 and the two output light port waveguides 19 are located in the waveguide layer, and the waveguide layer is located between the upper surface and the lower surface of the optical waveguide chip 8, that is, the incident light port waveguide 18, the two output light port waveguides 19 are not in the same plane as the two ground electrode coatings 16 and the radio frequency electrode coating 17, and the optical signal is transmitted in the waveguide layer.

[0051] The metallized optical fiber 1 is used for the input of the optical signal. The first end of the metallized optical fiber 1 penetrates into the receiving cavity through the first end through hole of the base 5. For example, the first end of the metallized optical fiber 1 penetrates into the receiving cavity through the through hole at the first end of the base 5. The first end of the metallized optical fiber 1 is chamfered into a cone shape, which can effectively prevent optical reflection, make the first end of the metallized optical fiber 1 easier to align and couple with the incident light port waveguide 18 of the optical waveguide chip 9, reduce the assembly requirements, and is easy to assemble. The first support block 12 is disposed in the receiving cavity. The first end of the metallized optical fiber 1 obtains the maximum input optical power by aligning and coupling with the incident light port waveguide 18 of the optical waveguide chip 9 inside the housing. The first end of the metallized optical fiber 1 is placed on the first support block 12, and after the optical power is stable, the first support block 12 is used to apply glue to fix and solidify the position of the metallized optical fiber 1. The second end of the metallized optical fiber 1 is connected to an optical input connector. The optical input connector can use a common ST type connector, SC type connector, LC type connector or FC type connector according to needs. The optical fiber can be selected as single mode or multi mode, which is compatible with different application scenarios. The upper surface of the first support block 12 is processed with a V-shaped groove. The first end of the metallized optical fiber 1 is located in the V-shaped groove, which can make the metallized optical fiber 1 easier to be fixed on the first support block 12, and make the glue easier to penetrate and flow onto the V-shaped groove to achieve a better effect of fixing the metallized optical fiber 1.

[0052] The fiber optic array 4 with a double - headed connector includes two bare optical fibers. The first ends of the two bare optical fibers penetrate into the accommodation cavity through the second end of the base 5. For example, the first ends of the two bare optical fibers penetrate into the accommodation cavity through the notch at the second end of the base 5. The distance between the first ends of the two bare optical fibers matches the distance between the two light - output port waveguides 19 of the optical waveguide chip 9 and are respectively and correspondingly coupled with the two light - output port waveguides 19 one by one. The second ends of the two bare optical fibers are respectively connected to optical output connectors. The two bare optical fibers are multimode optical fibers. The diameters of the cores of the two bare optical fibers are larger than the diameters of the cores of the two light - output port waveguides, which can make the first ends of the two bare optical fibers easier to be aligned and coupled to the light - output port waveguides 19, reduce the assembly requirements, and are easy to assemble. For example, the diameters of the cores of the two bare optical fibers can be 62.5 μm. The first ends of the two bare optical fibers are solidified on quartz glass. The second support block 14 is arranged in the accommodation cavity, and the quartz glass is placed on the second support block 14. The fiber optic array 4 with a double - headed connector is placed into the interior of the base 5 from the notch at the second end of the base 5. Move the quartz glass to make the first ends of the two bare optical fibers close to the two light - output port waveguides 19 of the optical waveguide chip 9 to obtain the maximum optical power for the two bare optical fibers. After the optical power is stable, use the second support block 14 to apply glue to fix the position of the fiber optic array 4 with a double - headed connector. The optical output connectors of the fiber optic array 4 with a double - headed connector can use common ST - type connectors, SC - type connectors, LC - type connectors or FC - type connectors according to needs. The two bare optical fibers can be selected as single - mode or multimode, which are compatible with different application scenarios.

[0053] As Figure 2 shown, the light - input port waveguide 18 of the optical waveguide chip 9 is aligned with the first end of the metallized optical fiber 1, and the two light - output port waveguides 19 of the optical waveguide chip 9 are aligned with the first ends of the two bare optical fibers of the fiber optic array 4 with a double - headed connector.

[0054] As Figure 6As shown in the figure, the first radio frequency connection ceramic substrate 8 includes a first gold plating layer, a second gold plating layer, and a third gold plating layer located between the first gold plating layer and the second gold plating layer. There are gaps between the first gold plating layer, the second gold plating layer, and the third gold plating layer. One end of the first gold plating layer and the second gold plating layer are respectively and electrically connected to one end of two ground electrode plating layers 16 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the third gold plating layer is electrically connected to one end of the radio frequency electrode plating layer 17; the first SMA radio frequency connector 11 is installed outside the base, and its pin is electrically connected to the third gold plating layer of the first radio frequency connection ceramic substrate 8; the second radio frequency connection ceramic substrate 20 includes a fourth gold plating layer, a fifth gold plating layer, and a sixth gold plating layer located between the fourth gold plating layer and the fifth gold plating layer. There are gaps between the fourth gold plating layer, the fifth gold plating layer, and the sixth gold plating layer. One end of the fourth gold plating layer and the fifth gold plating layer are respectively and electrically connected to the other end of two ground electrode plating layers 16 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the sixth gold plating layer is electrically connected to the other end of the radio frequency electrode plating layer 17; the second SMA radio frequency connector 21 is installed outside the base, and its pin is electrically connected to the sixth gold plating layer of the second radio frequency connection ceramic substrate. For example, the pin of the first SMA radio frequency connector 11 and the third gold plating layer of the first radio frequency connection ceramic substrate 8 are connected and fixed with solder paste. Then, the third gold plating layer of the first radio frequency connection ceramic substrate 8 is connected to the radio frequency electrode plating layer 17 on the optical waveguide chip 9 through the first bonding wire 15. The first gold plating layer and the second gold plating layer of the first radio frequency connection ceramic substrate 8 are respectively connected to the two ground electrode plating layers 16 of the optical waveguide chip 9 through the second bonding wire 22 in a one-to-one correspondence, so as to realize the electrical connection between the first SMA radio frequency connector 11 and the optical waveguide chip 9; the electrical connection between the second radio frequency connection ceramic substrate 20, the second SMA radio frequency connector 21 and the optical waveguide chip 9 is the same as that between the first SMA radio frequency connector 11 and the first radio frequency connection ceramic substrate 8. For the sake of simplicity, it will not be repeated here. The first SMA radio frequency connector 11 and the second SMA radio frequency connector 21 respectively realize the input and output of the radio frequency circuit. Moreover, the connection distance between the first SMA radio frequency connector 11, the second SMA radio frequency connector 21 and the optical waveguide chip 9 is very short, and the transmission rate can reach more than 3G. By applying a DC voltage to the first SMA radio frequency connector 11 and the second SMA radio frequency connector 21 with a DC power supply, it is equivalent to applying a DC voltage to the electrodes of the optical waveguide chip 9, and the light power magnitude and ratio of the two output optical ports of the optical waveguide chip 9, that is, the first output optical port and the second output optical port, can be adjusted, so as to realize the optical switch beam splitting and dimming functions. The specific implementation is as follows: Figure 7 In the figure, a is the relationship line between the output optical power of the first output optical port and the input voltage of the radio frequency connector, and b is the relationship line between the output optical power of the second output optical port and the input voltage of the radio frequency connector; as Figure 7As shown in the schematic diagram, a positive voltage of 0 to 40V is input to one of the RF connectors, such as the first SMA RF connector 11 or the second SMA RF connector 21. The optical power of one of the first light output ports is greater than that of the other second light output port, and the optical powers of the two light output ports change linearly at the same time. Then, a negative voltage of 0 to -40V is input to this RF connector. The optical power of the second light output port begins to be greater than that of the first light output port, and the optical powers of the two output light ports continue to change linearly. Therefore, the ratio of the optical powers of the two light output ports can be adjusted by adjusting the DC voltage input to the RF connector.

[0055] In one embodiment, a voltage of various functions or any waveform (such as sinusoidal alternating current) type can also be input to the RF connector, so that the response of the optical power of the light output port changes following the change of the electrical signal.

[0056] As Figure 4 shown, the thermoelectric cooler 13 (Thermo Electric Cooler, TEC) is placed in the accommodation cavity of the base 5. The support optical waveguide chip 9 is placed on the thermoelectric cooler 13 and is used to support the optical waveguide chip 9. At the same time, the TEC is used for temperature monitoring and adjustment of the optical waveguide chip 9. When needed, the optical waveguide chip 9 is kept working at a relatively stable temperature, so that the optical switch module can work stably when applied in different ambient temperatures and ensure the high and low temperature working performance of the module. The thermoelectric cooler 13 has two power supply leads, and there are two power supply core capacitors 7. The power supply core capacitors 7 are installed outside the base 5. The two power supply leads of the thermoelectric cooler 13 are respectively and correspondingly electrically connected to the two power supply core capacitors 7 by soldering, and the TEC is powered through the power supply through-hole capacitor 7. As Figure 2 shown, there are two monitoring through-hole capacitors connecting ceramic substrates 10, and they are both placed in the accommodation cavity of the base 5. They are connected to the optical waveguide chip 9 and are respectively and correspondingly connected to the two monitoring through-hole capacitors 6 by soldering. Among them, the two monitoring through-hole capacitors 6 are installed outside the base 5. The temperature of the optical waveguide chip 9 is monitored through the monitoring through-hole capacitors 6. When needed, a feedback signal is sent to the thermoelectric cooler 13 to control the temperature of the optical waveguide chip 9. It should be noted that the present invention can choose to have a TEC or not, and the present invention can work normally in both cases, and this function is selected according to the actual product requirements.

[0057] The through-hole at the first end of the metallized optical fiber 1 and the base 5, and the junction of the double-headed connector optical fiber array 4 and the notch at the second end of the base 5 are sealed with waterproof glue to prevent dust, dirt and moisture from entering. For a higher level of sealing, soldering can also be directly used for sealing. The upper cover 2 and the base 5 are directly fixed with screws. For a higher level of sealing, the upper cover 2 and the base 5 can also be directly connected together by high-voltage resistance welding. The monitoring feedthrough capacitor 6 and the power supply feedthrough capacitor 7 are fixed with waterproof glue. For a higher level of sealing, soldering can also be directly used; the first SMA radio frequency connector 11 and the second SMA radio frequency connector 21 can be mechanically fixed. For a higher level of sealing, soldering can also be directly used.

[0058] The present invention is small in volume, integrates optical packaging and radio frequency connection in one module, realizes the opening or closing of optical signals through the optical waveguide chip 9, the metallized optical fiber 1 and the double-headed connector optical fiber array 4, has a high degree of integration, diverse functions, a common connection operation joint, and is compatible with a variety of usage occasions and environments.

[0059] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any formal limitations on the present invention. Any simple modifications and equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
