[0039] The following will clearly and detailedly describe some embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments provided by the present disclosure fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0040] Unless the context otherwise requires, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprising" is construed in an open, inclusive sense, i.e., "including, but not limited to"; the terms "first" and "second" should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or indicating an upper limit on quantity; the term "plural" means two or more; the term "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated, can be directly connected, or can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; the use of the term "adapted to" or "configured to" implies open and inclusive language, which does not exclude a device adapted to or configured to perform additional tasks or steps; descriptions such as "parallel", "perpendicular", "identical", "consistent", "flush", etc. are not limited to absolute mathematical relationships, but also include an acceptable error range in practice, and also include differences formed due to manufacturing reasons based on the same design concept.

[0041] In optical communication technology, in order to establish information transmission between information processing devices, it is necessary to load information onto light and utilize the propagation of light to achieve information transmission. Here, the light loaded with information is the optical signal. When the optical signal is transmitted in the information transmission device, the loss of optical power can be reduced, so high-speed, long-distance, and low-cost information transmission can be achieved. The signals that information processing devices can recognize and process are electrical signals. Information processing devices generally include Optical Network Unit (ONU), gateway, router, switch, mobile phone, computer, server, tablet computer, television, etc., and information transmission devices generally include optical fiber and optical waveguide, etc.

[0042] The optical module can realize the mutual conversion between optical signals and electrical signals between the information processing device and the information transmission device. For example, at least one of the optical signal input end or the optical signal output end of the optical module is connected to an optical fiber, and at least one of the electrical signal input end or the electrical signal output end of the optical module is connected to an optical network terminal; the first optical signal from the optical fiber is transmitted to the optical module, the optical module converts the first optical signal into a first electrical signal, and transmits the first electrical signal to the optical network terminal; the second electrical signal from the optical network terminal is transmitted to the optical module, the optical module converts the second electrical signal into a second optical signal, and transmits the second optical signal to the optical fiber. Since information can be transmitted between multiple information processing devices through electrical signals, at least one of the multiple information processing devices needs to be directly connected to the optical module, rather than all information processing devices being directly connected to the optical module. Here, the information processing device directly connected to the optical module is called the host computer of the optical module. In addition, the optical signal input end or the optical signal output end of the optical module can be called the optical port, and the electrical signal input end or the electrical signal output end of the optical module can be called the electrical port.

[0043] Figure 1 Partial structural diagram of an optical communication system according to some embodiments. As Figure 1 shown, the optical communication system mainly includes 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.

[0044] One end of the optical fiber 101 extends in the direction of the remote information processing device 1000, and the other end of the optical fiber 101 is connected to the optical module 200 through the optical port 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 total reflection direction can almost maintain the original optical power. The optical signal undergoes multiple total reflections in the optical fiber 101 to transmit the optical signal from the remote information processing device 1000 to the optical module 200, or to transmit the optical signal from the optical module 200 to the remote information processing device 1000, thereby realizing long-distance and low-power-loss information transmission.

[0045] The optical communication system may include one or more optical fibers 101, and the optical fiber 101 is detachably or fixedly connected to the optical module 200. The host computer 100 is configured to provide a data signal to the optical module 200, or receive a data signal from the optical module 200, or monitor or control the working state of the optical module 200.

[0046] The host computer 100 includes a housing generally in the shape of a cuboid, and an optical module interface 102 provided on the housing. The optical module interface 102 is configured to access the optical module 200 to establish a unidirectional or bidirectional electrical signal connection between the host computer 100 and the optical module 200.

[0047] The host computer 100 further includes an external power interface, which can access an electrical signal network. For example, the external power interface includes a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface or a network cable interface 104. The network cable interface 104 is configured to access a network cable 103, so that the host computer 100 establishes a unidirectional or bidirectional electrical signal connection with the network cable 103. One end of the network cable 103 is connected to the local information processing device 2000, and the other end of the network cable 103 is connected to the host computer 100, so as to establish an electrical signal connection between the local information processing device 2000 and the host computer 100 through the network cable 103. For example, a third electrical signal sent by the local information processing device 2000 is transmitted into the host computer 100 through the network cable 103. The host computer 100 generates a second electrical signal according to 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 and transmits the second optical signal to the optical fiber 101. The second optical signal is transmitted in the optical fiber 101 to the remote information processing device 1000. For example, a first optical signal from the remote information processing device 1000 propagates through the optical fiber 101. The first optical signal from the optical fiber 101 is transmitted to 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 to the host computer 100. The host computer 100 generates a fourth electrical signal according to the first electrical signal and transmits the fourth electrical signal into the local information processing device 2000. It should be noted that the optical module is a tool for realizing the mutual conversion between optical signals and electrical signals. During the above conversion process of optical signals and electrical signals, the information does not change, but the encoding and decoding methods of the information may change.

[0048] In addition to including an optical network terminal, the host computer 100 further includes an Optical Line Terminal (OLT), an Optical Network Terminal (ONT), or a data center server, etc.

[0049] Figure 2 It is a partial structure diagram of a host computer according to some embodiments. To clearly show the connection relationship between the optical module 200 and the host computer 100, Figure 2 only the structure of the host computer 100 related to the optical module 200 is shown. As Figure 2 shown, the host computer 100 further includes a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) 105 disposed in the housing, a cage 106 disposed on the surface of the PCB 105, a radiator 107 disposed on the cage 106, and an electrical connector disposed inside the cage 106. The electrical connector is configured to access the electrical port of the optical module 200; the radiator 107 has raised structures such as fins to increase the heat dissipation area.

[0050] 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 conducted to the cage 106 and then diffused through the radiator 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 as to establish a two-way electrical signal connection between the optical module 200 and the host computer 100. In addition, the optical port of the optical module 200 is connected to the optical fiber 101, so as to establish a two-way optical signal connection between the optical module 200 and the optical fiber 101.

[0051] Figure 3 FIG. is a structural diagram of an optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 4 FIG. is an exploded schematic view of an optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the optical module 200 includes a shell, a circuit board 300, an optical transmitting component 400, and an optical accommodating component 500 disposed in the shell. At least one optical receiving component is disposed on the optical accommodating component 500. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the optical module 200 includes one of the optical transmitting component 400 and the optical accommodating component 500.

[0052] The shell includes an upper shell 201 and a lower shell 202. The upper shell 201 covers the lower shell 202 to form the above-mentioned shell with two openings; the outer contour of the shell generally presents a square body.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, 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 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.

[0054] 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 perpendicular to 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 perpendicular to the cover plate 2011. The two upper side plates are combined with the two lower side plates 2022 to realize the upper shell 201 covering the lower shell 202.

[0055] The direction where the connection line of the two openings 203 and 204 is located may be consistent with the length direction of the optical module 200 or may not be consistent with the length direction of the optical module 200. For example, the opening 203 is located at the end of the optical module 200 ( Figure 3 right end), and the opening 204 is also located at the end of the optical module 200 ( Figure 3The left end). Alternatively, the opening 203 is located at the end of the optical module 200, and the opening 204 is located at the side of the optical module 200. The opening 203 is an electrical port, and the gold finger of the circuit board 300 extends out from the electrical port and is inserted into the host computer (for example, the optical network terminal 100); the opening 204 is an optical port and is configured to access the optical fiber 101 so that the optical fiber 101 connects the optical transmitting component 400 and / or the optical accommodating component 500 in the optical module 200.

[0056] Adopting the assembly method of combining the upper housing 201 and the lower housing 202 facilitates the installation of components such as the circuit board 300, the optical transmitting component 400, and the optical accommodating component 500 into the housing, and the upper housing 201 and the lower housing 202 form a package protection for these devices. In addition, when assembling components such as the circuit board 300, the optical transmitting component 400, and the optical accommodating component 500, it is convenient for the deployment of the positioning components, heat dissipation components, and electromagnetic shielding components of these devices, which is conducive to the automated implementation of production.

[0057] In some embodiments, the upper housing 201 and the lower housing 202 are generally made of metal materials, which is beneficial to achieving electromagnetic shielding and heat dissipation.

[0058] 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.

[0059] Exemplarily, the unlocking component 600 is located outside the two lower side plates 2022 of the lower housing 202 and includes a engaging component that matches the cage 106 of the host computer 100. When the optical module 200 is inserted into the cage 106, the engaging component of the unlocking component 600 fixes the optical module 200 in the cage 106; when the unlocking component 600 is pulled, the engaging component of the unlocking component 600 moves accordingly, thereby changing the connection relationship between the engaging component and the host computer to release the fixation of the optical module 200 to the host computer, so that the optical module 200 can be pulled out from the cage 106.

[0060] The circuit board 300 includes circuit traces, electronic components, and chips. The electronic components and chips are connected together according to the circuit design through the circuit traces to achieve functions such as power supply, electrical signal transmission, and grounding. The electronic components include, for example, capacitors, resistors, triodes, and metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). The chips include, for example, microcontroller units (MCUs), laser driver chips, limiting amplifiers (LAs), clock and data recovery (CDR) chips, power management chips, and digital signal processing (DSP) chips.

[0061] The circuit board 300 is generally a rigid circuit board. Due to its relatively hard material, the rigid circuit board can also achieve a bearing function. For example, the rigid circuit board can stably carry the above-mentioned electronic components and chips; the rigid circuit board can also be inserted into the electrical connector in the upper computer cage.

[0062] The circuit board 300 also includes a gold finger 310 formed on its end surface. The gold finger 310 is composed of a plurality of independent pins. The circuit board 300 is inserted into the cage 106, and the gold finger 310 is conductively connected to the electrical connector in the cage 106. The gold finger 310 can be provided only on the surface of one side of the circuit board 300 (for example Figure 4 the upper surface shown), or can be provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the circuit board 300 to adapt to occasions with a large demand for the number of pins. The gold finger 310 is configured to establish an electrical connection with the upper computer to achieve power supply, grounding, I2C signal transmission, data signal transmission, etc. Of course, flexible circuit boards are also used in some optical modules. Flexible circuit boards are generally used in cooperation with rigid circuit boards as a supplement to the rigid circuit boards.

[0063] In some embodiments, the optical emission component 400 and the optical accommodation component 500 are physically separated from the circuit board 300 respectively, and then are electrically connected to the circuit board 300 through corresponding flexible circuit boards or electrical connectors respectively.

[0064] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the internal structure of an optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure Figure 1 , Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the internal structure of an optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure Figure 2 . As Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, one end of the optical accommodation component 500 is connected to the fiber optic adapter 700, and the other end of the optical accommodation component 500 is connected to the optical emission component 400. The optical signal generated by the optical emission component 400 is first transmitted into the optical accommodation component 500, then transmitted through the optical accommodation component 500 to the fiber optic adapter 700, and finally output through the fiber optic adapter 700; the externally input optical signal is input into the optical accommodation component 500 through the fiber optic adapter 700, enabling the optical accommodation component 500 and the optical emission component 400 to share the fiber optic adapter 700, and further enabling the upstream optical signal and the downstream optical signal of the optical module to share the optical fiber 101.

[0065] In some embodiments, the optical emission component 400 generates optical emission signals of multiple wavelengths and can combine the optical emission signals of multiple wavelengths into one optical emission signal; multiple optical reception components are provided on the optical accommodation component 500, enabling the optical accommodation component 500 to receive optical reception signals including multiple wavelengths. Exemplarily, the optical emission component 400 generates optical emission signals of three wavelengths, and the rates of the optical emission signals of the three wavelengths are different, such as the first wavelength optical signal, the second wavelength optical signal, and the third wavelength optical signal with different rates; the optical accommodation component 500 receives optical reception signals of three wavelengths, and the rates of the optical reception signals of the three wavelengths are different, such as the fourth wavelength optical signal, the fifth wavelength optical signal, and the sixth wavelength optical signal with different rates.

[0066] In some embodiments, the wavelength range of the first wavelength optical signal is 1340 - 1344 nm, such as the wavelength of the first wavelength optical signal is 1342 nm; the wavelength range of the second wavelength optical signal is 1575 - 1580 nm, such as the wavelength of the second wavelength optical signal is 1577 nm; the wavelength range of the third wavelength optical signal is 1480 - 1500 nm, such as the wavelength of the third wavelength optical signal is 1490 nm; the wavelength range of the fourth wavelength optical signal is 1260 - 1280 nm, such as the wavelength of the fourth wavelength optical signal is 1270 nm; the wavelength range of the fifth wavelength optical signal is 1284 - 1288 nm, such as the wavelength of the fifth wavelength optical signal is 1286 nm; the wavelength range of the sixth wavelength optical signal is 1290 - 1330 nm, such as the wavelength of the sixth wavelength optical signal is 1310 nm.

[0067] In some embodiments, the receiving rates of the photodetectors in the first optical receiving component 530, the second optical receiving component 540, and the third optical receiving component 550 are different. Exemplarily, the receiving rate of the photodetector in the second optical receiving component 540 is greater than that of the photodetector in the first optical receiving component 530, and the receiving rate of the photodetector in the second optical receiving component 540 is greater than that of the photodetector in the third optical receiving component 550, so that the transmission optical path of the fifth-wavelength optical signal with the maximum transmission rate from the output of the wavelength division multiplexer 564 to the photodetector is relatively the shortest and the optical path is the simplest, facilitating the photodetector in the second optical receiving component 540 to receive the optical signal with high coupling efficiency. For example, the receiving rate of the photodetector in the first optical receiving component 530 is 10G, the receiving rate of the photodetector in the second optical receiving component 540 is 50G, and the receiving rate of the photodetector in the third optical receiving component 550 is 2.5G.

[0068] In some embodiments, the optical housing component 500 includes a first housing 510 and a first upper cover 520, and a first cavity is formed by the covering connection of the first housing 510 and the first upper cover 520. The first optical receiving component 530, the second optical receiving component 540, and the third optical receiving component 550 are disposed on the side wall of the first housing 510. An accommodation cavity is formed inside the first cavity, and this accommodation cavity is used to accommodate devices and realize the connection or communication between devices. Exemplarily, a displacement prism, a reflector, etc. are disposed in the accommodation cavity. In some embodiments, an inner cavity is provided on the first housing 510, and the first upper cover 520 covers the first housing 510 to form the accommodation cavity; the first upper cover 520 is located on the side of the first housing 510 facing the cover plate 2011.

[0069] In some embodiments, one end of the first housing 510 is connected to the fiber optic adapter 700, the other end of the first housing 510 is connected to the optical transmitting component 400, and the first optical receiving component 530, the second optical receiving component 540, and the third optical receiving component 550 are disposed on one side of the first housing 510, so as to realize the encapsulation of the fiber optic adapter 700, the optical transmitting component 400, the first optical receiving component 530, the second optical receiving component 540, and the third optical receiving component 550 through the first housing 510, and to realize the optical connection between the fiber optic adapter 700, the optical transmitting component 400, the first optical receiving component 530, the second optical receiving component 540, and the third optical receiving component 550 and the first accommodation inner cavity respectively. The optical transmitting component 400, the first optical receiving component 530, the second optical receiving component 540, and the third optical receiving component 550 are electrically connected to the circuit board 300 through flexible circuit boards respectively.

[0070] In some embodiments, the optical emission component 400 includes a second housing 410 and a second upper cover 420. The second upper cover 420 is hermetically connected to the second housing 410 to form a second cavity. A plurality of pins 430 are provided on the side wall of the second housing 410, and devices for generating and transmitting an optical emission signal are provided inside the second housing 410. The pins 430 are connected to a flexible circuit board to electrically connect to the circuit board 300 through the flexible circuit board. Exemplarily, one end of the second housing 410 is connected to the other end of the first housing 510; the second upper cover 420 is located on the side of the second housing 410 facing the bottom plate 2021.

[0071] In some embodiments, multiple rows of pins are respectively provided on two connected side walls of the second housing 410, and high-frequency pins are included in the bottom row of pins on the two connected side walls.

[0072] In some embodiments, an inclined surface 510a is provided at the bottom of the first housing 510.
