[0047] Optical communication technology establishes information transmission between information processing devices. Optical communication technology loads information onto light and uses the propagation of light to achieve information transmission. Light loaded with information is an optical signal. When optical signals propagate in information transmission equipment, they can reduce the loss of optical power and achieve high-speed, long-distance, and low-cost information transmission. Information that can be processed by information processing equipment exists in the form of electrical signals. Optical network terminals / gateways, routers, switches, mobile phones, computers, servers, tablets, and televisions are common information processing devices, and optical fibers and optical waveguides are common information transmission equipment.
[0048] The mutual conversion of optical signals and electrical signals between information processing equipment and information transmission equipment is realized through optical modules. For example, an optical fiber is connected to the optical signal input end and / or the optical signal output end of the optical module, and an optical network terminal is connected to the electrical signal input end and / or the electrical signal output end of the optical module; the first optical signal from the optical fiber is transmitted into the optical module, the optical module converts the first optical signal into a first electrical signal, and the optical module transmits the first electrical signal into the optical network terminal; the second electrical signal from the optical network terminal is transmitted into the optical module, the optical module converts the second electrical signal into a second optical signal, and the optical module transmits the second optical signal into the optical fiber. Since information processing devices can be connected to each other through an electrical signal network, at least one type of information processing device needs to be directly connected to the optical module, and it is not necessary for all types of information processing devices to be directly connected to the optical module. The information processing device directly connected to the optical module is called the host computer of the optical module.
[0049] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a partial architecture diagram of an optical communication system according to some embodiments. Figure 1 As shown, the optical communication system is partially presented as a remote information processing device 1000 , a local information processing device 2000 , a host computer 100 , an optical module 200 , an optical fiber 101 and a network cable 103 .
[0050] One end of the optical fiber 101 extends toward the remote information processing device 1000, and the other end is connected to the optical interface of the optical module 200. The optical signal can be totally reflected in the optical fiber 101, and the propagation of the optical signal in the direction of total reflection can almost maintain the original optical power. The optical signal is totally reflected multiple times in the optical fiber 101, and the optical signal from the direction of the remote information processing device 1000 is transmitted into the optical module 200, or the light from the optical module 200 is propagated toward the remote information processing device 1000, so as to realize long-distance and low-power-loss information transmission.
[0051] The number of optical fibers 101 may be one or more (two or more); the optical fiber 101 and the optical module 200 may be connected in a pluggable movable manner or in a fixed manner.
[0052] The host computer 100 has an optical module interface 102, which is configured to access the optical module 200, so that the host computer 100 establishes a unidirectional / bidirectional electrical signal connection with the optical module 200; the host computer 100 is configured to provide data signals to the optical module 200, or receive data signals from the optical module 200, or monitor and control the working status of the optical module 200.
[0053] The host computer 100 has an external electrical interface, such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface and a network cable interface 104, which can be connected to an electrical signal network. For example, the network cable interface 104 is configured to connect to the network cable 103, so that the host computer 100 and the network cable 103 establish a unidirectional / bidirectional electrical signal connection.
[0054] Optical Network Unit (ONU), Optical Line Terminal (OLT), Optical Network Equipment (ONT) and Data Center Server are common host computers.
[0055] One end of the network cable 103 is connected to the local information processing device 2000 , and the other end is connected to the host computer 100 . The network cable 103 establishes an electrical signal connection between the local information processing device 2000 and the host computer 100 .
[0056] For example, the third electrical signal emitted by the local information processing device 2000 is transmitted to the host computer 100 through the network cable 103. The host computer 100 generates a second electrical signal based on the third electrical signal. The second electrical signal from the host computer 100 is transmitted to the optical module 200. The optical module 200 converts the second electrical signal into a second optical signal. The optical module 200 transmits the second optical signal into the optical fiber 101. The second optical signal is transmitted to the remote information processing device 1000 in the optical fiber 101.
[0057] For example, a first optical signal from the direction of a remote information processing device 1000 propagates through the optical fiber 101, the first optical signal from the optical fiber 101 is transmitted into the optical module 200, the optical module 200 converts the first optical signal into a first electrical signal, the optical module 200 transmits the first electrical signal into the host computer 100, the host computer 100 generates a fourth electrical signal based on the first electrical signal, and the host computer 100 transmits the fourth electrical signal to the local information processing device 2000.
[0058] The optical module is a tool for realizing the mutual conversion between optical signals and electrical signals. During the conversion process between optical signals and electrical signals, the information does not change, but the encoding and decoding method of the information can change.
[0059] Figure 2FIG. 1 is a partial structural diagram of a host computer according to some embodiments. In order to clearly show the connection relationship between the optical module 200 and the host computer 100, Figure 2 Only the structures related to the host computer 100 and the optical module 200 are shown. Figure 2 As shown, the host computer 100 also includes a PCB circuit board 105 arranged in the shell, a cage 106 arranged on the surface of the PCB circuit board 105, a heat sink 107 arranged on the cage 106, and an electrical connector (not shown in the figure) arranged inside the cage 106. The heat sink 107 has a protruding structure that increases the heat dissipation area, and the fin-shaped structure is a common protruding structure.
[0060] The optical module 200 is inserted into the cage 106 of the host computer 100, and the cage 106 fixes the optical module 200. The heat generated by the optical module 200 is transferred 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 interface of the optical module 200 is connected to the electrical connector inside the cage 106.

Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of an optical module with a housing and unlocking components removed according to some embodiments. Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a fiber optic adapter, a light source, coherent components, and a circuit board according to some embodiments. Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the optical module 200 includes a shell, a circuit board 300 disposed in the shell, a light emitting component 400 and a light receiving component 500. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the optical module 200 includes one of the light emitting component 400 and the light receiving component 500.
[0062] The housing comprises 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 body.
[0063] In some embodiments, the lower shell 202 includes a bottom plate 2021 and two lower side plates 2022 located on both sides of the bottom plate 2021 and arranged perpendicular to the bottom plate 2021; the upper shell 201 includes a cover plate 2011, and the cover plate 2011 covers the two lower side plates 2022 of the lower shell 202 to form the above-mentioned shell.
[0064] In some embodiments, the lower shell 202 includes a bottom plate 2021 and two lower side plates 2022 located on both sides of the bottom plate 2021 and vertically arranged with the bottom plate 2021; the upper shell 201 includes a cover plate 2011 and two upper side plates located on both sides of the cover plate 2011 and vertically arranged with the cover plate 2011, and the two upper side plates are combined with the two lower side plates 2022 to realize that the upper shell 201 covers the lower shell 202.
[0065] 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, the opening 204 is located at the end of the optical module 200, and the opening 205 is located at the side of the optical module 200. The opening 204 is an electrical interface, and the gold finger of the circuit board 300 extends from the electrical interface and is inserted into the electrical connector of the host computer; the opening 205 is an optical port, which is configured to access the optical fiber 101 so that the optical fiber 101 is connected to the optical emitting component 400 and / or the optical receiving component 500 in the optical module 200.
[0066] The assembly method of combining the upper shell 201 and the lower shell 202 is adopted, which facilitates the installation of components such as the circuit board 300, the light emitting component 400, and the light receiving component 500 into the above-mentioned shell, and the upper shell 201 and the lower shell 202 can encapsulate and protect the shapes of these components. In addition, when assembling components such as the circuit board 300, the light emitting component 400 and the light receiving component 500, it is convenient to deploy the positioning components, heat dissipation components, and electromagnetic shielding components of these devices, which is conducive to the automated implementation of production.
[0067] In some embodiments, the upper shell 201 and the lower shell 202 are made of metal materials to facilitate electromagnetic shielding and heat dissipation.
[0068] In some embodiments, the optical module 200 further includes an unlocking component 600 located outside its housing. The unlocking component 600 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.
[0069] For example, the unlocking component 600 is located on the outside of the two lower side plates 2022 of the lower housing 202, and includes a snap-fit component that matches the cage 106 of the host computer. When the optical module 200 is inserted into the cage 106, the snap-fit component of the unlocking component 600 fixes the optical module 200 in the cage 106; when the unlocking component 600 is pulled, the snap-fit component of the unlocking component 600 moves accordingly, thereby changing the connection relationship between the snap-fit component and the host computer, so as to release the snap-fit fixed connection between the optical module 200 and the host computer, so that the optical module 200 can be pulled out of the cage 106.

[0071] The circuit board 300 is generally a rigid circuit board. Due to its relatively hard material, the rigid circuit board can also realize the load-bearing function. For example, the rigid circuit board can stably carry the above-mentioned electronic components and chips; the rigid circuit board is also easy to insert into the electrical connector in the upper computer cage.
[0072] The circuit board 300 also includes a gold finger formed on the end surface thereof, and the gold finger is composed of a plurality of independent pins. The circuit board 300 is inserted into the cage 106, and the gold finger is connected to the electrical connector in the cage 106.

Specifically, the first housing 810 is provided with a third pipe opening 813 for inserting the optical fiber adapter 700, and the optical fiber adapter 700 is embedded in the third pipe opening 813. The optical emitting component 400 and the optical receiving component 500 respectively establish optical connections with the optical fiber adapter. The light emitted and the light received in the optical transceiver assembly are transmitted via the same optical fiber in the optical fiber adapter, that is, the same optical fiber in the optical fiber adapter is the transmission channel for the light entering and exiting the optical transceiver assembly, and the optical transceiver assembly realizes a single-fiber bidirectional optical transmission mode.
[0076] The first housing 810 is used to carry the light emitting component and the light receiving component.

[0083] The first optical signal enters the optical transceiver assembly from the optical fiber, and after being reflected by the first lens 815, it moves toward the first pipe opening and enters the optical receiving component. The first optical signal may contain signal light of one wavelength, or may contain signal light of two or more wavelengths. The optical receiving component filters the first optical signal, and the optical receiver of the optical receiving component only receives signal light of one wavelength and converts the signal light into an electrical signal.
[0084] A plano-convex lens is provided between the optical fiber adapter 700 and the first lens 815, and the plano-convex lens collimates the first optical signal, so that the first optical signal changes from a scattered light beam to a parallel light beam.

The centers of the adjustable filter 514, the converging lens 515, and the light receiving chip 516 are on the same vertical line and are coaxially arranged.
[0090] The third temperature regulator 511 can be a TEC (semiconductor refrigerator, Thermo Electric Cooler). The temperature of the tunable filter is controlled by adjusting the third temperature regulator 511. When the temperature of the tunable filter changes, the molecular kinetic energy in the tunable filter changes, that is, the tunable filter undergoes thermal expansion and contraction, or the molecular structure in the tunable filter undergoes a reversible change, thereby changing the refractive index emission of the tunable filter. The wavelength of the optical signal passing through the tunable filter and the wavelength of the optical signal cut off by the tunable filter are changed, so that the optical signal of the wavelength corresponding to the changed temperature can pass through the tunable filter, and the optical signals of other wavelengths are cut off. Therefore, by making the tunable filter at different temperatures through the third temperature regulator 511, optical signals of different wavelengths can pass through the tunable filter.
[0091] The third temperature regulator 511 is located on the tube base 510, and the filter holder 512 is located above the third temperature regulator 511. Specifically, the lower surface of the third temperature regulator 511 is attached to the surface of the tube base 510, wherein the lower surface of the third temperature regulator 511 is the negative electrode of the third temperature regulator 511, that is, the negative electrode of the third temperature regulator 511 in this application is connected to the surface of the vertical tube base 510; the upper surface of the third temperature regulator 511 is the positive electrode of the third temperature regulator 511, and the tube base surface has a semiconductor cooler pin, and the positive electrode of the semiconductor cooler is electrically connected to the semiconductor cooler pin; the upper surface of the semiconductor cooler is vertically provided with a filter holder 512, and the filter holder 512 is used to support the adjustable filter 514 and the thermistor 513.
[0092] The filter support 512 has step surfaces of different heights for carrying different optoelectronic devices. The filter support 512 includes: a first frame and a second frame, wherein the height of the upper surface of the first frame is lower than the height of the upper surface of the second frame. The lower surface of the first frame is connected to the upper surface of the third temperature regulator 511, and the upper surface of the second frame is higher than the upper surface of the first frame. The converging lens 515 and the light receiving chip 516 are sequentially located below the second frame.
[0093] The upper surface of the filter support 512 may be a plane or may have different heights.
[0094] The second frame plate is provided with a through hole 5123 , and the first optical signal is reflected to the displacement prism by the first lens 815 , and enters the converging lens 515 through the receiving light window and the through hole of the adjustable filter 514 .
[0095] The surface temperature of the adjustable filter 514 is collected in real time through the thermistor 513, and the collected surface temperature of the adjustable filter 514 is fed back to the thermoelectric driving circuit. The thermoelectric driving circuit determines the heating or cooling current input into the third temperature regulator according to the received surface temperature of the adjustable filter 514, so as to achieve heating or cooling of the adjustable filter 514, so that the adjustable filter 514 presents different temperatures to receive signal light of different wavelengths.
[0096] Fig.11 Schematic diagram of the structure of a light receiving component and a circuit board according to some embodiments of the present application. Fig.11 As shown, in order to accurately adjust the temperature of the third temperature regulator so that the optical power of the light receiving component is at the maximum value, the light receiving component disclosed in the embodiment of the present application also includes: a first digital-to-analog converter (ADC1), which is connected to the thermistor, and the first digital-to-analog converter is also connected to the MCU. The first digital-to-analog converter converts the electrical signal of the thermistor into a first digital signal, and transmits the first digital signal to the MCU. The MCU calculates the current temperature value of the light receiving component according to the preset temperature table, and stores the current temperature value in the temperature change table.
[0097] The preset temperature table is a mapping relationship table between the first digital signal and the temperature value, and the current temperature value of the light receiving component can be calculated through the first digital signal.
[0098] The MCU can also obtain the current channel wavelength and calculate the target temperature value corresponding to the current channel according to the current channel wavelength and the preset wavelength temperature relationship table. The preset wavelength temperature relationship table is a mapping relationship table between the channel wavelength and the target temperature value.
[0099] A second analog-to-digital converter (ADC2) is provided between the MCU and the optical receiving chip. The optical receiving chip converts the optical power of the received first optical signal into a photocurrent, and the second analog-to-digital converter converts the photocurrent into a second digital value. The MCU is connected to the second analog-to-digital converter, and the MCU calculates the current optical power based on the second digital value and the preset optical power relationship table. The MCU collects the current optical power in a polling manner at intervals of a preset time period, and stores the optical power in the optical power information table. For example, at a certain time point, the optical power collected by the MCU is recorded as the current optical power, and the optical power collected between the preset time intervals at this time point is recorded as the previous optical power.
[0100] The MCU is configured such that: when the difference between the target temperature value and the current temperature value is outside the preset threshold range, the target temperature value is used as the preset adjustment temperature. When the difference between the target temperature value and the current temperature value is within the preset threshold range, the preset adjustment temperature is adjusted using a feedback algorithm.
[0101] Using the feedback algorithm to adjust the preset adjustment temperature includes: using an increasing or decreasing adjustment method to set the preset adjustment temperature. If the current optical power is greater than the previous optical power, the preset adjustment temperature is set using a step adjustment method, and the current adjustment direction is consistent with the previous adjustment direction; if the current optical power is less than the previous optical power, the preset adjustment temperature is set using a step adjustment method, and the current adjustment direction is opposite to the previous step direction.
[0102] For example, the temperature adjustment process may be a step-by-step method or a non-step-by-step method.
[0103] For example: Add a step value to the target temperature value as the preset adjustment temperature. Transmit the preset adjustment temperature to the PID operation unit, and the PID operation unit outputs a voltage control value to control the semiconductor cooler. Obtain the current optical power. If the current optical power is greater than the previous optical power, add a step value to the target temperature value as the preset adjustment temperature; if the current optical power is less than the previous optical power, the target temperature value is reduced by a step value as the preset adjustment temperature. If the current optical power is equal to the previous optical power, the current temperature value is used as the preset adjustment temperature.
[0104] The target temperature value is reduced by one step value as the preset adjustment temperature. The preset adjustment temperature is transmitted to the PID operation unit, and the PID operation unit outputs a voltage control value to control the semiconductor cooler. The current optical power is obtained. If the current optical power is greater than the previous optical power, the target temperature value is reduced by one step value as the preset adjustment temperature; if the current optical power is less than the previous optical power, the target temperature value is increased by one step value as the preset adjustment temperature. If the current optical power is equal to the previous optical power, the current temperature value is used as the preset adjustment temperature.
[0105] The preset adjustment temperature is used as the input of the PID algorithm to calculate the control voltage value. The control voltage value is used to control the output voltage of the thermoelectric drive circuit so that the temperature of the semiconductor refrigerator reaches the preset adjustment temperature.
[0106] When the difference between the target temperature value and the current temperature value is outside the preset threshold range, the target temperature value is used as the preset adjustment temperature input into the PID algorithm to calculate the control voltage value. The control voltage value is used to control the output voltage of the thermoelectric drive circuit so that the temperature of the semiconductor cooler reaches the preset adjustment temperature.
[0107] For example, the preset threshold range includes: a high temperature limit and a low temperature limit, and the temperature value of the preset threshold range is greater than or equal to the low temperature limit, and less than or equal to the high temperature limit. For example, the high temperature limit is 0.5°C and the low temperature limit is -0.6°C, then -0.6≤preset threshold≤0.5.
[0108] When the difference between the target temperature value and the current temperature value is greater than or equal to the low temperature limit, and the difference between the target temperature value and the current temperature value is less than or equal to the high temperature limit, if the current optical power is less than the previous optical power, the target temperature value is reduced by a step value as the preset adjustment temperature; the preset adjustment temperature is used as the input of the PID algorithm to calculate the control voltage value. The control voltage value is used to control the output voltage of the thermoelectric drive circuit so that the temperature of the semiconductor refrigerator reaches the preset adjustment temperature.
[0109] When the difference between the target temperature value and the current temperature value is greater than or equal to the low temperature limit, and the difference between the target temperature value and the current temperature value is less than or equal to the high temperature limit, if the current optical power is greater than the previous optical power, and the previous adjustment is a step increase, then a step value is added to the target temperature value as the preset adjustment temperature. The preset adjustment temperature is used as the input of the PID algorithm to calculate the control voltage value. The control voltage value is used to control the output voltage of the thermoelectric drive circuit so that the temperature of the semiconductor cooler reaches the preset adjustment temperature.
[0110] When the difference between the target temperature value and the current temperature value is greater than the low temperature limit or the difference between the target temperature value and the current temperature value is greater than the high temperature limit, the target temperature value is used as the preset adjustment temperature, input into the PID algorithm, and the control voltage value is calculated. The control voltage value is used to control the output voltage of the thermoelectric drive circuit so that the temperature of the semiconductor cooler reaches the preset adjustment temperature.
[0111] This application calculates the current temperature value of the light receiving component through the sampling value of the thermistor. The MCU obtains the target temperature value, sets the output voltage of the semiconductor cooler through the PID algorithm, and adjusts the temperature to near the target temperature value. When the difference between the current temperature and the target temperature value is within the preset threshold range, the maximum optical power of the light receiving component is found by stepping and fine-tuning the output voltage of the semiconductor cooler, and the output voltage of the thermoelectric drive circuit is maintained so that the optical power of the light receiving component remains at the maximum value, thereby improving the stability of the optical power of the light receiving component.
[0112] Fig.12 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an MCU structure provided according to some embodiments of the present application. Fig.12 As shown, the MCU is provided with: a first input port, a second input port, a first output port, a comparison operation unit, a PID operation unit and a step operation unit.
[0113] The first input port is connected to the first analog-to-digital converter for receiving the first digital signal of the first analog-to-digital converter. The second input port is connected to the second analog-to-digital converter for receiving the second digital signal of the second analog-to-digital converter. The comparison operation unit is connected to the first analog-to-digital converter and the second analog-to-digital converter respectively, and the comparison operation unit is also connected to the PID operation unit and the step operation unit.
[0114] The comparison operation unit is provided with a preset wavelength-temperature relationship table, a preset optical power relationship table and a preset threshold range. The comparison operation unit receives the first digital signal output by the first analog-to-digital converter, and calculates the current temperature value of the optical receiving component according to the first digital signal; the comparison operation unit receives the second digital signal output by the second analog-to-digital converter, and calculates the current optical power of the optical receiving component according to the first digital signal. The comparison operation unit can also obtain the wavelength of the current channel, and calculate the target temperature value corresponding to the current channel according to the current channel wavelength and the preset wavelength-temperature relationship table.
[0115] The comparison operation unit calculates the difference between the target temperature value and the current temperature value, and selects to output the voltage signal to the first output pin or the second output pin according to the comparison between the difference and a preset threshold range.
[0116] For example, a first output pin is provided between the comparison operation unit and the step operation unit. When the difference between the target temperature value and the current temperature value is within a preset threshold range, the comparison operation unit outputs a first enable signal to enable the step operation unit to obtain the current optical power, the previous optical power, the target temperature value, and the current temperature value.
[0117] For example, the current optical power is the value of the current optical power of the light receiving component collected at a first time point; the previous optical power is the value of the current optical power of the light receiving component collected at a second time point; the first time point is the time point after a preset time period from the second time point.
[0118] The step operation unit adjusts the preset adjustment temperature by using a step feedback algorithm according to the current optical power and the previous optical power.
[0119] The step feedback algorithm includes: using an increasing or decreasing step adjustment method to set a preset adjustment temperature. If the current optical power is greater than the previous optical power, the preset adjustment temperature is set using the step adjustment method, and the current step direction is consistent with the previous step direction; if the current optical power is less than the previous optical power, the preset adjustment temperature is set using the step adjustment method, and the current step direction is opposite to the previous step direction.
[0120] In some embodiments, the preset adjustment temperature is set by using an increasing or decreasing step adjustment method, and the target temperature value can be increased by one step or decreased by one step.
[0121] For example: Add a step value to the target temperature value as the preset adjustment temperature. Transmit the preset adjustment temperature to the PID operation unit, and the PID operation unit outputs a voltage control value to control the semiconductor cooler. Obtain the current optical power. If the current optical power is greater than the previous optical power, add a step value to the target temperature value as the preset adjustment temperature; if the current optical power is less than the previous optical power, the target temperature value is reduced by a step value as the preset adjustment temperature. If the current optical power is equal to the previous optical power, the current temperature value is used as the preset adjustment temperature.
[0122] The target temperature value is reduced by one step value as the preset adjustment temperature. The preset adjustment temperature is transmitted to the PID operation unit, and the PID operation unit outputs a voltage control value to control the semiconductor cooler. The current optical power is obtained. If the current optical power is greater than the previous optical power, the target temperature value is reduced by one step value as the preset adjustment temperature; if the current optical power is less than the previous optical power, the target temperature value is increased by one step value as the preset adjustment temperature. If the current optical power is equal to the previous optical power, the current temperature value is used as the preset adjustment temperature.
[0123] When the difference between the target temperature value and the current temperature value is within the preset threshold range, the comparison operation unit outputs a control signal to the step operation unit, and the step operation unit reads the target temperature value, the current temperature value, the current optical power and the previous optical power, and calculates the difference between the current optical power and the previous optical power. When the current optical power is less than the previous optical power, the target temperature value is reduced by a step value as the preset adjustment temperature, and the step operation unit transmits the preset adjustment temperature to the PID operation unit. When the current optical power is greater than the previous optical power, the target temperature value is increased by a step value as the preset adjustment temperature, and the step operation unit transmits the preset adjustment temperature to the PID operation unit.
[0124] The stepping operation unit operates cyclically within the preset time period. If the current optical power is greater than the previous optical power, it means that the current adjustment makes the optical power increase, the adjustment direction is correct, and the current stepping direction is consistent with the previous stepping direction. If the current optical power is less than the previous optical power, it means that the current adjustment makes the optical power smaller, the adjustment direction is wrong, and the current stepping direction is opposite to the previous stepping direction, so that the optical power of the optical receiving component remains at the maximum value.
[0125] The output end of the stepping operation unit is connected to the PID operation unit. The stepping operation unit transmits the preset adjustment temperature to the PID operation unit. The PID operation unit performs proportional, differential and integral calculations on the preset adjustment temperature and the current temperature value to obtain a voltage control value.
[0126] A second output pin is provided between the comparison operation unit and the PID operation unit. When the difference between the target temperature value and the current temperature value is outside the preset threshold range, the comparison operation unit outputs the target temperature value to the PID operation unit. At this time, the target temperature value is the preset adjustment temperature, which is the target value of the PID operation unit. The PID operation unit performs proportional, differential, and integral calculations on the preset adjustment temperature and the current temperature value to obtain a voltage control value.
[0127] The PID operation unit is connected to the first output port, and the first output port is also connected to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The other end of the DAC is connected to the thermoelectric drive circuit, and the voltage control value output by the PID operation unit is converted into a voltage analog value by the DAC to control the thermoelectric drive circuit.
[0128] In some embodiments of the present application, the MCU may also be provided with a register, which is connected to the comparison operation unit and the step operation unit. The comparison operation unit writes the current temperature value, current optical power, and target temperature value obtained by operation into the register so that the step operation unit can read it.
[0129] In some embodiments of the present application, the step operation unit uses a step feedback algorithm to calculate the preset adjustment temperature.
[0130] This application calculates the current temperature value of the light receiving component through the sampling value of the thermistor. The MCU obtains the target temperature value, sets the output voltage of the semiconductor refrigerator through the PID feedback algorithm, and adjusts the temperature to near the target temperature value. When the difference between the current temperature and the target temperature value is within the preset threshold range, the step feedback algorithm is turned on to fine-tune the output voltage of the semiconductor refrigerator, and the maximum optical power of the light receiving component is found through RSSI feedback. The output voltage of the thermoelectric drive circuit is maintained so that the optical power of the light receiving component remains at the maximum value, thereby improving the stability of the optical power of the light receiving component.
[0131] Based on the optical module described in the above embodiment, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an optical module temperature control method, which collects the current temperature value and target temperature value of the optical receiving component, sets the output voltage of the semiconductor refrigerator through the PID feedback algorithm, and adjusts the temperature to near the target temperature value. When the difference between the current temperature and the target temperature value is within the preset threshold range, the step feedback algorithm is turned on to fine-tune the output voltage of the semiconductor refrigerator, and the maximum optical power of the optical receiving component is found through RSSI feedback, and the output voltage of the thermoelectric drive circuit is maintained, so that the temperature of the optical receiving component is at the preset adjustment temperature, so that the optical power of the optical receiving component is kept at the maximum value, thereby improving the stability of the optical power of the optical receiving component.
