[0034] For the convenience of describing the technical solutions of the application, first, some concepts related to the application will be described.

[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the application.

[0036] In optical communication technology, light is used to carry information to be transmitted, and the optical signal carrying the information is transmitted to an information processing device such as a computer through an information transmission device such as an optical fiber or an optical waveguide to complete the transmission of information. Since the optical signal is transmitted through the optical fiber or the optical waveguide, it has the characteristics of passive transmission, so that low-cost and low-loss information transmission can be achieved. In addition, the signal transmitted by the information transmission device such as the optical fiber or the optical waveguide is an optical signal, and the signal that can be recognized and processed by the information processing device such as the computer is an electrical signal. Therefore, in order to establish an information connection between the information transmission device such as the optical fiber or the optical waveguide and the information processing device such as the computer, it is necessary to realize the mutual conversion between the electrical signal and the optical signal.

[0037] The optical module realizes the mutual conversion function between the optical signal and the electrical signal in the field of optical fiber communication technology. The optical module includes an optical port and an electrical port. The optical module realizes optical communication with the information transmission device such as the optical fiber or the optical waveguide through the optical port, and realizes electrical connection with the optical network terminal (for example, an optical modem) through the electrical port. The electrical connection is mainly used for power supply, I2C signal transmission, data signal transmission, and grounding. The optical network terminal transmits the electrical signal to the information processing device such as the computer through a network cable or wireless fidelity technology (Wi-Fi).

[0038] Figure 1 A connection relationship diagram of an optical communication system according to some embodiments. As shown in Figure 1 , the optical communication system mainly includes a remote server 1000, a local information processing device 2000, an optical network terminal 100, an optical module 200, an optical fiber 101, and a network cable 103.

[0039] One end of the optical fiber 101 is connected to the remote server 1000, and the other end is connected to the optical network terminal 100 through the optical module 200. The optical fiber itself can support long-distance signal transmission, for example, signal transmission of thousands of meters (6-8 kilometers), and theoretically, super-long distance transmission can be achieved if a repeater is used. Therefore, in a general optical communication system, the distance between the remote server 1000 and the optical network terminal 100 can usually reach thousands of meters, tens of kilometers, or hundreds of kilometers.

[0040] One end of the network cable 103 is connected to the local information processing device 2000, and the other end is connected to the optical network terminal 100. The local information processing device 2000 can be any one or several of the following devices: a router, a switch, a computer, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, etc.

[0041] The physical distance between the remote server 1000 and the optical network terminal 100 is greater than the physical distance between the local information processing device 2000 and the optical network terminal 100. The connection between the local information processing device 2000 and the remote server 1000 is completed by the optical fiber 101 and the network cable 103; and the connection between the optical fiber 101 and the network cable 103 is completed by the optical module 200 and the optical network terminal 100.

[0042] The optical module 200 includes an optical port and an electrical port. The optical port is configured to be connected to the optical fiber 101, so that the optical module 200 and the optical fiber 101 establish a bidirectional optical signal connection; the electrical port is configured to access the optical network terminal 100, so that the optical module 200 and the optical network terminal 100 establish a bidirectional electrical signal connection. The optical module 200 realizes the mutual conversion between optical signals and electrical signals, thereby establishing a connection between the optical fiber 101 and the optical network terminal 100. For example, the optical signal from the optical fiber 101 is converted into an electrical signal by the optical module 200 and input into the optical network terminal 100, and the electrical signal from the optical network terminal 100 is converted into an optical signal by the optical module 200 and input into the optical fiber 101.

[0043] The optical network terminal 100 comprises a housing in the shape of a cuboid, and an optical module interface 102 and a network cable interface 104 arranged on the housing. The optical module interface 102 is configured to access the optical module 200, so that the optical network terminal 100 and the optical module 200 establish a bidirectional electrical signal connection. The network cable interface 104 is configured to access the network cable 103, so that the optical network terminal 100 and the network cable 103 establish a bidirectional electrical signal connection. The optical module 200 and the network cable 103 establish a connection through the optical network terminal 100. For example, the optical network terminal 100 transmits electrical signals from the optical module 200 to the network cable 103, and transmits signals from the network cable 103 to the optical module 200, so that the optical network terminal 100, as a host of the optical module 200, can monitor the operation of the optical module 200. The host of the optical module 200 can also include an optical line terminal (OLT) in addition to the optical network terminal 100.

[0044] The remote server 1000 establishes a bidirectional signal transmission channel with the local information processing device 2000 through the optical fiber 101, the optical module 200, the optical network terminal 100, and the network cable 103.

[0045] Figure 2 The optical network terminal structure diagram according to some embodiments is shown for clearly showing the connection relationship between the optical module 200 and the optical network terminal 100. Figure 2 Only the structure of the optical network terminal 100 related to the optical module 200 is shown. As shown in the figure, Figure 2 The optical network terminal 100 further comprises a PCB circuit board 105 arranged in the housing, a cage 106 arranged on the surface of the PCB circuit board 105, and an electrical connector arranged inside the cage 106. The electrical connector is configured to access the electrical port of the optical module 200. The heat sink 107 has a fin or other protruding part to increase the heat dissipation area.

[0046] The optical module 200 is inserted into the cage 106 of the optical network terminal 100, and the optical module 200 is fixed by the cage 106. The heat generated by the optical module 200 is conducted to the cage 106, and then diffused through the heat sink 107. After the optical module 200 is inserted into the cage 106, the electrical port of the optical module 200 is connected to the electrical connector inside the cage 106, so that the optical module 200 and the optical network terminal 100 establish a bidirectional electrical signal connection. In addition, the optical port of the optical module 200 is connected to the optical fiber 101, so that the optical module 200 and the optical fiber 101 establish a bidirectional electrical signal connection.

[0047] Figure 3 The optical module structure diagram according to some embodiments is shown for, Figure 4 The optical module exploded structure diagram according to some embodiments is shown for, Figure 3 andFigure 4 As shown, the optical module 200 includes a housing, a circuit board 300 disposed in the housing, and an optical transceiver device;

[0048] The housing includes an upper housing 201 and a lower housing 202 . The upper housing 201 covers the lower housing 202 to form the housing having two openings 204 and 205 . The outer contour of the housing is generally a square.

[0049] In some embodiments, the lower shell 202 includes a base plate and two lower side plates located on both sides of the base plate and arranged perpendicularly to the base plate; the upper shell 201 includes a cover plate and two upper side plates located on both sides of the cover plate and arranged perpendicularly to the cover plate, and is combined with two side walls and two side plates to achieve the upper shell 201 covering the lower shell 202.

[0050] The direction of the line connecting the two openings 204 and 205 may be consistent with the length direction of the optical module 200, or may be inconsistent with the length direction of the optical module 200. For example, the opening 204 is located at the end of the optical module 200 ( Figure 3 The opening 205 is also located at the end of the optical module 200 ( Figure 3 Alternatively, opening 204 is located at the end of optical module 200, while opening 205 is located on the side of optical module 200. Opening 204 is an electrical port, through which the gold finger of circuit board 300 extends and is inserted into a host computer (such as optical network terminal 100); opening 205 is an optical port, configured to receive an external optical fiber 101, so that optical fiber 101 connects to the optical transceiver device inside optical module 200.

[0051] The combined assembly of upper and lower housings 201 and 202 facilitates the installation of components such as the circuit board 300 and optical transceivers within the housing, with the upper and lower housings 201 and 202 providing encapsulation and protection for these components. Furthermore, during assembly of components such as the circuit board 300, the positioning, heat dissipation, and electromagnetic shielding components of these components are easily positioned, facilitating automated production.

[0052] In some embodiments, the upper shell 201 and the lower shell 202 are generally made of metal materials, which are conducive to electromagnetic shielding and heat dissipation.

[0053] In some embodiments, the optical module 200 further includes an unlocking component 203 located on the outer wall of its housing. The unlocking component 203 is configured to achieve a fixed connection between the optical module 200 and the host computer, or to release the fixed connection between the optical module 200 and the host computer.

[0054] For example, the unlocking component 203 is located on the outer wall of the two lower side plates of the lower shell 202, and includes a clamping component matched with the cage of the host (for example, the cage 106 of the optical network terminal 100). When the optical module 200 is inserted into the cage of the host, the clamping component of the unlocking component 203 fixes the optical module 200 in the cage of the host; when the unlocking component 203 is pulled, the clamping component of the unlocking component 203 moves, thereby changing the connection relationship between the clamping component and the host, so as to release the clamping relationship between the optical module 200 and the host, and thus the optical module 200 can be pulled out of the cage of the host.

[0055] The circuit board 300 includes circuit traces, electronic components (such as capacitors, resistors, transistors, MOS tubes), and chips (such as MCUs, laser drive chips, limiting amplifier chips, clock data recovery CDR, power management chips, data processing chips DSP), etc.

[0056] The circuit board 300 connects the above-mentioned devices in the optical module 200 together according to the circuit design through the circuit traces, to realize the functions of power supply, electrical signal transmission, and grounding, etc.

[0057] The circuit board 300 is generally a hard circuit board. Due to the relatively hard material of the hard circuit board, the hard circuit board can also realize the bearing function, such as the hard circuit board can stably bear the chips; the hard circuit board can also be inserted into the electrical connector in the cage of the host. In some embodiments disclosed in the present application, a metal pin / gold finger is formed on the surface of the end of one side of the hard circuit board, which is used for connecting with the electrical connector. These are not convenient to realize by the flexible circuit board.

[0058] The flexible circuit board is also used in some optical modules. The flexible circuit board is generally used in cooperation with the hard circuit board, such as the flexible circuit board is used to connect between the hard circuit board and the optical transceiver device, as a supplement of the hard circuit board.

Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the optical transceiver device includes an optical transmitting sub-module 400 and an optical receiving sub-module 500, which are respectively used to realize the transmission of optical signals and the reception of optical signals.

The front and back sides of the optical transmitter respectively emit light beams, and the lens is used to converge the light beams emitted by the front side of the optical transmitter, so that the light beams emitted by the optical transmitter are convergent light, to facilitate coupling to the external optical fiber; the light detector is used to receive the light beams emitted by the back side of the optical transmitter, to detect the optical power of the optical transmitter. Specifically, the light emitted by the optical transmitter enters the optical fiber after being converged by the lens, and at the same time, the light detector detects the light emitting power of the optical transmitter, to ensure the constancy of the light emitting power of the optical transmitter.
