[0041] The optical fiber array 6 is also equipped with a plug structure 7, which is detachably connected to the positioning socket 5. The positioning socket 5 is provided with a first guide portion 51 and a first limit portion 52, and the plug structure 7 is provided with a second guide portion 71 and a second limit portion 72. Under the guidance and cooperation of the first guide portion 51 and the second guide portion 71, the plug structure 7 can be accurately installed in the positioning socket 5 along the length direction of the optical fiber array 6. The first limit portion 52 and the second limit portion 72 cooperate with each other to effectively limit the position of the plug structure 7 relative to the positioning socket 5 along the length direction of the optical fiber array 5.

The optical fiber body, the first coupling part 61, the second coupling part 31, the waveguide layer 30 to the PD element 41 constitute the light receiving path in sequence. Conversely, the laser element 40, the waveguide layer 30, the second coupling part 31, the first coupling part 61 to the optical fiber body constitute the light emitting path. While ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the entire optical transceiver path, the dependence of the optical fiber array 6 on the carrier structure is reduced, thereby meeting the requirements of flexible plugging and unplugging and replacement of the optical fiber array 6.
[0043] like Figure 6As shown, a first reflection surface 62 is provided inside the protruding end 60, and the first reflection surface 62 is arranged obliquely relative to the length direction of the optical fiber array 6, and the first reflection surface 62 and the first coupling part 61 are spaced apart; a second reflection surface 32 is also provided inside the silicon photonic chip 3, and the second reflection surface 32 is arranged obliquely relative to the waveguide layer 30, and the second reflection surface 32 and the second coupling part 31 are spaced apart.

Accordingly, the optical receiving path from the optical fiber body to the PD element 41 is opposite to the transmission direction of the above-mentioned optical emission path.
[0044] In this embodiment, the ASIC chip 2, the electronic chip 4 and the positioning socket 5 are respectively arranged on the upper side of the glass carrier 1, and the redistribution layer 10 is arranged on the bottom side of the glass carrier 1; and the glass carrier 1 is provided with glass through holes corresponding to the ASIC chip 2 and the electronic chip 4, respectively, and the silicon photonic chip 3 is provided with silicon through holes corresponding to the electronic chip 4, and the glass through holes and silicon through holes are filled with conductors (not shown in the figure), and the conductors are electrically connected between the redistribution layer 10 and the ASIC chip 2 or the electronic chip 4. The glass carrier 1 has good insulation and anti-warping properties, and adopts glass through holes and silicon through holes technology to achieve the purpose of vertical conductive connection between the ASIC chip 2, the electronic chip 4 and the redistribution layer 10 on the bottom side of the glass carrier 1.
[0045] As a further preferred solution, the positioning socket 5 is a glass structure, and the positioning socket 5 is mounted and fixed on the glass carrier 1. A through slot 50 is provided in the middle of the positioning socket 5, and a first guide portion 51 and a first limit portion 52 are respectively arranged on the inner wall of the through slot 50. Specifically, the through slot 50 includes a first slot section 501 and a second slot section 502 connected along the length direction of the optical fiber array 6, and the opening width of the first slot section 501 is greater than the opening width of the second slot section 502; the first guide portion 51 is a guide rib arranged on the inner wall of the first slot section 501, and the first limit portion 52 is a stop surface arranged between the first slot section 501 and the second slot section 502, and the first limit portion 52 is arranged perpendicular to the length direction of the optical fiber array 6.
[0046] Correspondingly, the plug structure 7 is wrapped and fixed on the outside of the optical fiber array 6, and the plug structure 7 and the end of the optical fiber array 6 form a convex structure. The second guide portion 71 is a guide groove opened on the outside of the plug structure 7, and the guide ribs and the guide grooves are matched in a concave-convex manner; the second limit portion 72 is an abutment surface set on the end surface of one side of the plug structure 7, and the abutment surface is arranged perpendicular to the length direction of the optical fiber array 6. By using the concave-convex matching between the end of the optical fiber array 6 and the second groove section 502, and the concave-convex matching between the plug structure 7 and the second groove section 502, the plug-in matching degree between the optical fiber array 6 and the positioning socket 5 is improved, and the guide ribs are matched with the guide grooves, and the stop surface of the through groove 50 is matched with the abutment surface of the plug structure 7, thereby ensuring the plug-in assembly accuracy of the optical fiber array 6.

When in the plugged state, the elastic locking hook 73 extends into the inner side of the inclined boss 53 along the length direction of the optical fiber array 6, and the inclined boss 53 and the elastic locking hook 73 are locked and matched. The opening width of the first slot section 501 gradually increases to form a bell mouth, which can guide the plug structure 7 to be smoothly plugged into the first slot section 501. The elastic locking hook 73 of the plug structure 7 enters the inner side of the inclined boss 53, and the inclined boss 53 plays a locking role on the elastic locking hook 73, thereby ensuring the connection reliability between the plug structure 7 and the optical fiber array 6.
[0048] In addition, a pressing block 54 is installed between the inclined boss 53 and the second slot section 502. The pressing block 54 is slidably arranged along the opening width direction of the first slot section 501. An operating handle 55 is hingedly connected to the outer side of the plug structure 7. The operating handle 55 is connected to the pressing block 54. The pressing block 54 is used to press and cooperate with the elastic lock hook 73 when unlocking. The operating handle 55 can drive the pressing block 54 to move toward the inner side of the optical fiber array 6 in the width direction. The pressing block 54 squeezes the elastic lock hook 73 to cause it to be compressed and deformed, thereby ensuring that the elastic lock hook 73 is smoothly disengaged and unlocked relative to the inclined boss 53.
[0049] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the second slot section 502 corresponding to the opening width direction is further provided with a third guide portion 56, and the outer side of the optical fiber array 6 corresponding to the width direction is provided with a fourth guide portion 74, and the third guide portion 56 and the fourth guide portion 74 are guided and matched along the length direction of the optical fiber array 6.

[0050] In addition, a groove is provided on the glass substrate 1, and the silicon photonic chip 3 is matched with the groove in a concave-convex manner.

The PD element 41 is arranged corresponding to the receiving waveguide of the waveguide layer 30, and the MPD element 42 is arranged corresponding to the laser element 40. The silicon photonic chip 3 is accommodated and installed in the groove of the glass substrate 1, which effectively reduces the plate thickness of the packaging structure. The silicon photonic chip 3 is integrated with a PD element 41 and an MPD element 42. The PD element 41 is also called a photodiode, which is used to receive optical signals and convert optical signals into electrical signals. The MPD element 42 is combined with the laser element 40 and is used together to convert electrical signals into optical signals, thereby achieving the purpose of high-speed transmission of optical and electrical signals.
[0051] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
