[0064] Some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments provided by the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0065] Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprising" is to be interpreted as having an open, inclusive meaning, that is, "including, but not limited to"; the terms "first" and "second" are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or indicating an upper limit on quantity; the term "plurality" means two or more; the term "connected" is to be understood in a broad sense, for example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection, and can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; the use of the terms "suitable for" or "configured to" implies open and inclusive language, which does not exclude devices that are suitable for or configured to perform additional tasks or steps; descriptions such as "parallel", "perpendicular", "same", "consistent", and "flush" are not limited to absolute mathematical theoretical relationships, but also include an acceptable error range generated in practice, and also include differences based on the same design concept but due to manufacturing reasons.
[0066] 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.
[0067] 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.
[0068] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a partial architecture diagram of an optical communication system provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. 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 .
[0069] 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.
[0070] 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.
[0071] 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.
[0072] 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.
[0073] Optical Network Unit (ONU), Optical Line Terminal (OLT), Optical Network Equipment (ONT) and Data Center Server are common host computers.
[0074] 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 .
[0075] 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.
[0076] 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.
[0077] 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.
[0078] Figure 21 is a partial structural diagram of a host computer provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. 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.
[0079] 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.
[0080] Figure 3 is a structural diagram of an optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 4 FIG. 1 is an exploded view of an optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3 and Figure 4 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.
[0081] 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.
[0082] 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.
[0083] 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.
[0084] 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 301 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.
[0085] 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.
[0086] In some embodiments, the upper shell 201 and the lower shell 202 are made of metal materials to facilitate electromagnetic shielding and heat dissipation.
[0087] 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.
[0088] 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.
[0089] The circuit board 300 includes circuit traces, electronic components and chips, etc. The electronic components and chips are connected together according to the circuit design through the circuit traces to realize the functions of power supply, electrical signal transmission and grounding. The electronic components may include capacitors, resistors, triodes, metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET), etc. The chips may include microcontroller units (MCU), laser driver chips, transimpedance amplifiers (TIA), limiting amplifiers, clock and data recovery chips (CDR), power management chips, and digital signal processing (DSP) chips.
[0090] 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.
[0091] The circuit board 300 further includes a gold finger 301 formed on the end surface thereof, and the gold finger 301 is composed of a plurality of independent pins. The circuit board 300 is inserted into the cage 106, and the gold finger 301 is connected to the electrical connector in the cage 106. The gold finger 301 can be provided on only one side of the circuit board 300 (e.g. Figure 4 The gold finger 301 is configured to establish an electrical connection with the host computer to achieve power supply, grounding, I2C signal transmission, data signal transmission, etc.
[0092] Of course, flexible circuit boards are also used in some optical modules. Flexible circuit boards are generally used in conjunction with rigid circuit boards to supplement rigid circuit boards.
[0093] The light emitting component 400 and / or the light receiving component 500 are located on a side of the circuit board 300 away from the gold finger 301; in some embodiments, the light emitting component 400 and the light receiving component 500 are physically separated from the circuit board 300, and then electrically connected to the circuit board 300 through corresponding flexible circuit boards or electrical connectors; in some embodiments, the light emitting component and / or the light receiving component can be directly set on the circuit board 300, can be set on the surface of the circuit board, and can also be set on the side of the circuit board.

Figure 7 A cross-sectional view of a light emitting component, a light receiving component and a circuit board provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure Figure 1 . Figure 5 and Figure 6 The structures of the light emitting components, light receiving components and circuit boards are shown from different angles. Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the light emitting component is located on one side of the circuit board, and the light emitting component is plugged into the circuit. The light emitting component includes a first light emitting component 410 and a second light emitting component 420, and the light emitting component faces the upper shell. The light receiving component is located on the lower surface of the circuit board, and the light receiving component faces the lower shell. In order to reduce the thickness of the optical module, the lower surface of the light emitting component is lower than the lower surface of the circuit board, so that the sum of the thickness of the light emitting component, the light receiving component and the circuit board is less than the thickness of the light emitting component and the thickness of the light receiving component. Compared with the light emitting component and the light receiving component being arranged on both sides of the same shell at the same time, the optical module of the example of the present application has a smaller thickness, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the optical module.
[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, the optical receiving component includes a first receiving component 510 and a second receiving component 520. The first receiving component 510 includes a first AWG pigtail assembly, a first optical receiving detector and a first transimpedance amplifier. The first AWG pigtail assembly has a first pigtail, and the first optical receiving detector and the first transimpedance amplifier are located between the first AWG pigtail assembly and the third optical fiber adapter. The first pigtail faces the electrical port direction, and a 180° fiber winding is performed after the coupling is completed. The second receiving component 520 includes a second AWG pigtail assembly 521, a second optical receiving detector group 522 and a second transimpedance amplifier 523. The second AWG pigtail assembly 521 has a second pigtail, and the second optical receiving detector group 522 and the second transimpedance amplifier 523 are located between the second AWG pigtail assembly 521 and the fourth optical fiber adapter 704. The second pigtail faces the electrical port direction, and a 180° fiber winding is performed after the coupling is completed.
[0096] The optical module provided by the present application realizes the optimized optical path of the optical emitting component and the hard connection with the optical port of the module by reasonably arranging the positions of the optical emitting chip, the wavelength division multiplexer and the center height of the optical port of the optical module. At the same time, in the optical receiving component part, a conventional AWG pigtail assembly is used, and the soft connection between the optical receiving component and the optical port is realized by reversely assembling the AWG assembly. Through the above arrangement, the number of optical components used in the optical module is reduced, and the assembly process is simplified.

The first lens mounting portion 4031 is adjacent to the side wall of the transmitting shell 401. The first wavelength division multiplexer combines the light emitted by four different transmitters into one beam, and the outlet of the first wavelength division multiplexer is located at the edge of the first wavelength division multiplexer. That is, the outlet of the first wavelength division multiplexer is adjacent to the upper side wall of the transmitting shell 401 (the side close to the first lower side plate in the figure).

The displacement prism 414 makes the optical axis of the signal light emitted by the first wavelength division multiplexer 412 reach the first optical fiber adapter.

The second notch 40171 forms an opening with the lower surface of the circuit board, which facilitates the connecting glue to enter the gap between the circuit board 300 and the receiving portion 4017 through the opening, and the excess connecting glue overflows along the opening.
[0121] The receiving portion 4017 is further provided with an electrical appliance avoidance groove 4019, which is recessed toward the lower shell body so that there is a gap between the electrical appliance avoidance groove 4019 and the circuit board, and the electronic components are accommodated in the gap.
