Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of modulator design and packaging, and particularly to a miniaturized and highly reliable directly modulated laser packaging structure and packaging method. Background Art

[0002] The Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator based on lithium niobate crystal has significant advantages such as low loss, high modulation bandwidth, and high extinction ratio. It modulates the input radio frequency electrical signal onto the optical signal output by the externally modulated light source to achieve electro-optical conversion, and is widely used in fields such as optical fiber communication and microwave photonics. The packaging design of the intensity modulator mainly assembles the modulator chip, input / output optical fiber, ceramic circuit board, radio frequency connector, and backlight monitoring chip in a sealed package to achieve internal and external interconnection of optical and electrical signals.

[0003] In the existing intensity modulator packaging structure, the coupling uses optical glue to connect and fix the modulation waveguide chip and the input / output optical fiber. To ensure thermal reliability, a section of bare optical fiber needs to be reserved inside the package to prevent stretching damage, and the fiber outlet of the package is sealed with glue.

[0004] This traditional packaging form has the following main disadvantages: (1) Large volume: At the input and output ends of the packaging structure, a section of bare optical fiber needs to be reserved, resulting in a total waste of about 30 mm of length space. The coaxial V-type female radio frequency connector is packaged at the cavity wall of the package, with a large volume and exposed outside. (2) Low reliability: The optical coupling is fixed with optical glue, and the coupling point is likely to fall off due to vibration and mechanical shock. (3) Poor airtightness: The fiber outlet is sealed by glue curing, which is not conducive to the sealing performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a miniaturized and highly reliable intensity modulator packaging structure and packaging method, which has a smaller volume, higher reliability and airtightness, and a longer service life.

[0046] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0047] 1. An aspherical lens is adopted for optical system coupling. Compared with the traditional structure, the internal fiber length space is saved. The size in the length direction is reduced by 1 / 3, and the length is only about 30 mm. The SMPM RF connector is adopted to replace the traditional coaxial V-type female head RF connector for installation, which is encapsulated inside the wall of the tube shell cavity. And the threaded installation fixing holes are adopted, and the installation method at the bottom or on the side is used to replace the traditional front double ears plus bottom double holes installation.

Therefore, the structural size of the present invention is small, and it can be used in more environments and conditions.

[0048] 2. The present invention uses an aspherical lens for spatial coupling. The aspherical lens is fixed by welding. Compared with the traditional packaging method in which the optical fiber and the modulator chip are aligned and coupled and then fixed with ultraviolet glue, which is vulnerable to the detachment of the coupling point caused by mechanical vibration and shock, resulting in product scrapping, the present invention is not easily affected by vibration and shock to cause the deviation of the coupling optical path and lead to product failure.

[0049] 3. The present invention uses a metallized optical fiber, performs thermal resistance welding to inject solder, and forms a good airtight fixation. Compared with the traditional packaging method in which the optical fiber is fixed with glue at the tail tube, the airtightness is improved.

[0050] Other advantages, objectives, and features of the present invention will be described to some extent in the subsequent specification, and to some extent, will be obvious to those skilled in the art based on the study of the following text, or can be taught from the practice of the present invention.
