[0051] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, not all 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.
[0052] Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and its other forms, such as the third person singular form "comprises" and the present participle form "comprising", are to be interpreted as open and inclusive, that is, "including, but not limited to". In the description of the specification, the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiments", "example", "specific example" or "some examples" are intended to indicate that the particular features, structures, materials or characteristics associated with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. The schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. In addition, the particular features, structures, materials or characteristics may be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any appropriate manner.
[0053] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.
[0054] When describing some embodiments, the expressions "coupled" and "connected" and their derivatives may be used. For example, when describing some embodiments, the term "connected" may be used to indicate that two or more components are in direct physical or electrical contact with each other. For another example, when describing some embodiments, the term "coupled" may be used to indicate that two or more components are in direct physical or electrical contact. However, the term "coupled" or "communicatively coupled" may also refer to two or more components that are not in direct contact with each other, but still cooperate or interact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the contents of this document.
[0055] “At least one of A, B and C” has the same meaning as “at least one of A, B or C” and both include the following combinations of A, B and C: A only, B only, C only, the combination of A and B, the combination of A and C, the combination of B and C, and the combination of A, B and C.
[0056] “A and / or B” includes the following three combinations: A only, B only, and a combination of A and B.
[0057] The use of "adapted to" or "configured to" herein is intended to be open and inclusive language that does not exclude devices adapted or configured to perform additional tasks or steps.
[0058] As used herein, "about," "substantially," or "approximately" includes the stated value and an average value that is within an acceptable range of deviation from the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurements in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).
[0059] In optical communication technology, to establish information transmission between information processing devices, it is necessary to load the information onto light and use the propagation of light to achieve information transmission. Here, the light loaded with information is an optical signal. When transmitting optical signals within information transmission equipment, they can reduce optical power loss, thereby enabling high-speed, long-distance, and low-cost information transmission. The signals that information processing equipment can recognize and process are electrical signals. Information processing equipment typically includes optical network units (ONUs), gateways, routers, switches, mobile phones, computers, servers, tablets, televisions, etc., and information transmission equipment typically includes optical fibers and optical waveguides.
[0060] Optical modules can convert optical signals into electrical signals between information processing devices and information transmission devices. For example, at least one of the optical signal input or output ends of an optical module is connected to an optical fiber, and at least one of the electrical signal input or output ends of the optical module is connected to an optical network terminal. A first optical signal from the optical fiber is transmitted to the optical module, which converts the first optical signal into a first electrical signal and transmits the first electrical signal to the optical network terminal. A second electrical signal from the optical network terminal is transmitted to the optical module, which converts the second electrical signal into a second optical signal and transmits the second optical signal to the optical fiber. Because multiple information processing devices can transmit information via electrical signals, at least one of the multiple information processing devices needs to be directly connected to the optical module, rather than all of them. Here, the information processing device directly connected to the optical module is referred to as the optical module's host computer. Furthermore, the optical signal input or output end of the optical module can be referred to as an optical port, and the electrical signal input or output end of the optical module can be referred to as an electrical port.
[0061] FIG1 is a partial structural diagram of an optical communication system according to some embodiments. As shown in FIG1 , 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 .
[0062] One end of optical fiber 101 extends toward remote information processing device 1000, and the other end of optical fiber 101 is connected to optical module 200 through the optical port of optical module 200. Optical signals can be totally reflected in 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 undergoes multiple total reflections in optical fiber 101 to transmit the optical signal from remote information processing device 1000 to optical module 200, and vice versa, thereby achieving long-distance, low-power information transmission.
[0063] The optical communication system may include one or more optical fibers 101, and the optical fibers 101 may be detachably connected or fixedly connected to the optical module 200. The host computer 100 is configured to provide data signals to the optical module 200, receive data signals from the optical module 200, or monitor or control the operating status of the optical module 200.
[0064] The host computer 100 includes a substantially rectangular housing and an optical module interface 102 disposed on the housing. The optical module interface 102 is configured to connect to the optical module 200 to establish a unidirectional or bidirectional electrical signal connection between the host computer 100 and the optical module 200.
[0065] The host computer 100 also includes an external electrical interface that can access an electrical signal network. For example, the external electrical 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 that an electrical signal connection is established between the local information processing device 2000 and the host computer 100 via the network cable 103. For example, a third electrical signal emitted by the local information processing device 2000 is transmitted to the host computer 100 via 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 and transmits the second optical signal to the optical fiber 101. The second optical signal is then transmitted to the remote server device 1000 via the optical fiber 101. For example, a first optical signal from the remote information processing device 1000 is transmitted 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 based on the first electrical signal and transmits the fourth electrical signal to the local information processing device 2000. It should be noted that optical modules are tools for converting optical signals into electrical signals. During this conversion process, the information does not change, but the encoding and decoding methods of the information can change.
[0066] In addition to the optical network terminal, the host computer 100 also includes an optical line terminal (OLT), an optical network device (ONT), or a data center server.
[0067] Figure 2 is a partial structural diagram of a host computer according to some embodiments. To clearly illustrate the connection between the optical module 200 and the host computer 100, Figure 2 only shows the structure of the host computer 100 related to the optical module 200. As shown in Figure 2, the host computer 100 also includes a PCB circuit board 105 disposed within the housing, a cage 106 disposed on the surface of the PCB circuit board 105, a heat sink 107 disposed on the cage 106, and an electrical connector disposed within the cage 106. The electrical connector is configured to connect to the electrical port of the optical module 200; the heat sink 107 has raised structures such as fins to increase the heat dissipation area.
[0068] The optical module 200 is inserted into the cage 106 of the host computer 100. The cage 106 secures the optical module 200. Heat generated by the optical module 200 is transferred to the cage 106 and then dissipated through the heat sink 107. After the optical module 200 is inserted into the cage 106, the electrical port of the optical module 200 connects with the electrical connector inside the cage 106, thereby establishing a bidirectional electrical signal connection between the optical module 200 and the host computer 100. Furthermore, the optical port of the optical module 200 connects to the optical fiber 101, thereby establishing a bidirectional optical signal connection between the optical module 200 and the optical fiber 101.
[0069] Figure 3 is a structural diagram of an optical module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and Figure 4 is an exploded schematic diagram of an optical module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the optical module 200 includes a housing, a circuit board 300 disposed within the housing, a light-emitting component 400, and an optical receiving component 500. The optical receiving component 500 is provided with at least one light-receiving component. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the optical module 200 includes either the light-emitting component 400 or the optical receiving component 500.
[0070] The housing includes an upper housing 201 and a lower housing 202 . The upper housing 201 covers the lower housing 202 to form the housing with two openings. The outer contour of the housing is generally a square.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the lower shell 202 includes a base plate 2021 and two lower side plates 2022 located on both sides of the base plate 2021 and arranged perpendicular to the base 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.
[0072] In some embodiments, the lower shell 202 includes a base plate 2021 and two lower side plates 2022 located on both sides of the base plate 2021 and arranged perpendicularly to the base 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 arranged perpendicularly to the cover plate 2011. The two upper side plates are combined with the two lower side plates 2022 to achieve the upper shell 201 covering the lower shell 202.
[0073] The direction of the line connecting the two openings 203 and 204 can be consistent with the length direction of the optical module 200, or it can be inconsistent with the length direction of the optical module 200. For example, the opening 203 is located at the end of the optical module 200 (the right end in FIG3 ), and the opening 204 is also located at the end of the optical module 200 (the left end in FIG3 ). Alternatively, the opening 203 is located at the end of the optical module 200, and the opening 204 is located on the side of the optical module 200. The opening 203 is an electrical port, from which the gold finger of the circuit board 300 extends and is inserted into the host computer (for example, the optical network terminal 100); the opening 204 is an optical port, which is configured to receive the optical fiber 101 so that the optical fiber 101 can connect to the optical emitting component 400 and / or the optical receiving component 500 in the optical module 200.
[0074] The combined assembly of the upper and lower housings 201 and 202 facilitates the installation of components such as the circuit board 300, the light-emitting component 400, and the optical receiving component 500 into the housing, with the upper and lower housings 201 and 202 providing encapsulation and protection for these components. Furthermore, during the assembly of the circuit board 300, the light-emitting component 400, and the optical receiving component 500, the positioning components, heat dissipation components, and electromagnetic shielding components of these components are easily arranged, facilitating automated production.
[0075] In some embodiments, the upper housing 201 and the lower housing 202 are generally made of metal materials, which facilitates electromagnetic shielding and heat dissipation.
[0076] 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.
[0077] Exemplarily, the unlocking component 600 is located on the outside of the two lower side panels 2022 of the lower housing 202 and includes a snap-fit component that mates with the cage 106 of the host computer 100. When the optical module 200 is inserted into the cage 106, the snap-fit component of the unlocking component 600 secures 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 between the snap-fit component and the host computer, thereby releasing the optical module 200 from the cage 106 and allowing the optical module 200 to be removed from the cage 106.
[0078] The circuit board 300 includes circuit traces, electronic components, and chips. The circuit traces connect the electronic components and chips together according to the circuit design to achieve functions such as power supply, electrical signal transmission, and grounding. Electronic components include, for example, capacitors, resistors, transistors, and metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). 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.
[0079] The circuit board 300 is generally a rigid circuit board. Due to its relatively hard material, the rigid circuit board can also realize the 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.
[0080] The circuit board 300 also includes a gold finger 310 formed on its end surface, and 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 electrically connected to the electrical connector in the cage 106. The gold finger 310 can be set only on the surface of one side of the circuit board 300 (for example, the upper surface shown in Figure 4), or it can be set on the upper and lower surfaces of the circuit board 300 to adapt to occasions where a large number of pins are required. The gold finger 310 is configured to establish an electrical connection with the host 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 conjunction with rigid circuit boards to supplement rigid circuit boards.
[0081] In some embodiments, the light emitting component 400 and the optical 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.
[0082] FIG5 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of an optical module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and FIG6 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of an optical module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG5 and FIG6, one end of the optical receiving component 500 is connected to the optical fiber adapter 700, and the other end of the optical receiving component 500 is connected to the optical emitting component 400. The optical signal generated by the optical emitting component 400 is first transmitted to the optical receiving component 500, then transmitted to the optical fiber adapter 700 through the optical receiving component 500, and finally output through the optical fiber adapter 700; the external input optical signal is input to the optical receiving component 500 through the optical fiber adapter 700, so that the optical receiving component 500 and the optical emitting component 400 share the optical fiber adapter 700, thereby allowing the uplink optical signal and the downlink optical signal of the optical module to share the optical fiber 101.
[0083] In some embodiments, the optical emitting component 400 generates optical transmit signals of multiple wavelengths and is capable of combining the optical transmit signals of multiple wavelengths into a single optical transmit signal. The optical receiving component 500 is provided with multiple optical receiving components, enabling the optical receiving component 500 to receive optical receive signals comprising multiple wavelengths. For example, the optical emitting component 400 generates optical transmit signals of three wavelengths, each having different rates, such as a first wavelength optical signal, a second wavelength optical signal, and a third wavelength optical signal having different rates. The optical receiving component 500 receives optical receive signals of three wavelengths, each having different rates, such as a fourth wavelength optical signal, a fifth wavelength optical signal, and a sixth wavelength optical signal having different rates.
[0084] 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; and 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.
[0085] In some embodiments, the receiving rates of the photodetector in the first light receiving component 530, the receiving rates of the photodetector in the second light receiving component 540, and the receiving rates of the photodetector in the third light receiving component 550 are different. For example, the receiving rate of the photodetector in the second light receiving component 540 is greater than the receiving rate of the photodetector in the first light receiving component 530, and the receiving rate of the photodetector in the second light receiving component 540 is greater than the receiving rate of the photodetector in the third light receiving component 550. This ensures that the optical path of the fifth wavelength optical signal with the highest transmission rate from the output of the wavelength division multiplexer 564 to the photodetector is relatively short and the optical path is simplest, so that the photodetector in the second light receiving component 540 can receive the optical signal with high coupling efficiency. For example, the receiving rate of the photodetector in the first light receiving component 530 is 10G, the receiving rate of the photodetector in the second light receiving component 540 is 50G, and the receiving rate of the photodetector in the third light receiving component 550 is 2.5G. It should be noted that the locations of the light receiving components with different receiving rates are also different.
[0086] As shown in Figure 5, in some embodiments, the optical receiving component 500 includes a first housing 510 and a first upper cover 520. The first housing 510 and the first upper cover 520 are connected to form a first cavity. The sidewalls of the first housing 510 are provided with a first light receiving component 530, a second light receiving component 540, and a third light receiving component 550. The interior of the first cavity forms a receiving chamber, which is used to accommodate components and enable connections or communication between components. Exemplarily, a displacement prism, a reflector, etc. are provided in the receiving chamber.
[0087] In some embodiments, an inner cavity is provided on the first shell 510 , so that the first upper cover 520 covers the first shell 510 to form an accommodating cavity; the first upper cover 520 is located on a side of the first shell 510 facing the cover plate 2011 .
[0088] As shown in FIG5 , in some embodiments, one end of the first housing 510 is connected to the fiber optic adapter 700, and the other end of the first housing 510 is connected to the light emitting component 400. A first light receiving component 530, a second light receiving component 540, and a third light receiving component 550 are disposed on one side of the first housing 510. This allows the fiber optic adapter 700, the light emitting component 400, the first light receiving component 530, the second light receiving component 540, and the third light receiving component 550 to be encapsulated within the first housing 510, thereby optically connecting the fiber optic adapter 700, the light emitting component 400, the first light receiving component 530, the second light receiving component 540, and the third light receiving component 550 to the first receiving cavity.

The first side of the first accommodating chamber 5171 communicates with the fourth connection hole 514. The second accommodating chamber 5172 is disposed on the second side of the first accommodating chamber 5171. A first baffle 5174 is disposed between the second accommodating chamber 5172 and the first accommodating chamber 5171. The first baffle 5174 defines a first through cavity 5175, which connects the first accommodating chamber 5171 with the second accommodating chamber 5172. The top support of the first baffle 5174 is connected to the first upper cover 520. A third accommodating cavity 5173 is provided on the third side of the first accommodating cavity 5171.

The first optical filter 563 is disposed on the second baffle 5176, which fixedly supports the first optical filter 563.
[0101] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the fourth displacement prism 567 is used to make the fifth connecting hole 5102 closer to the center line of the first shell 510 to adapt to the light emitting component 400, and to make the assembly of the light emitting component 400 and the optical accommodating component 500 more concentrated, thereby facilitating the reduction of the space occupied by assembling the light emitting component 400 and the optical accommodating component 500 in the optical module, and adapting to the requirements of multiple transmission channels of the optical module.
[0102] In some embodiments, a mounting base 568 is further disposed within the accommodating cavity 517. The bottom of the mounting base 568 is connected to the bottom of the first accommodating cavity 5171, and the side of the mounting base 568 securely supports the first reflector 562.

Exemplarily, when the first reflector 562 is set to a preset position through optical coupling, an optical fixing device irradiates the mounting base 568 with light for optical fixation through the opening 519, thereby fixing the mounting base 568 to the bottom plate of the first accommodating cavity 5171. After the mounting base 568 is optically fixed to the first accommodating cavity 5171, the sealing plate 5191 is fixed to the opening 519.
[0104] FIG15 is a cross-sectional view of an optical receiving component according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, illustrating the optical transmission paths of optical receiving and transmitting signals within the optical receiving component. The optical transmitting signal output by the optical transmitting component 400 is transmitted through the fifth connection hole 5102 to the incident surface of the fourth displacement prism 567, then transmitted through the incident surface of the fourth displacement prism 567 to the first reflection surface of the fourth displacement prism 567. The optical transmitting signal is then reflected from the first reflection surface of the fourth displacement prism 567 to the second reflection surface of the fourth displacement prism 567, then transmitted to the light exiting surface of the fourth displacement prism 567. The light exiting surface of the fourth displacement prism 567 is then transmitted to the first optical filter 563, then to the first displacement prism 561, and then out of the fourth connection hole 514 along the output optical path of the first displacement prism 561. The light is then converged by the first lens 516 and transmitted to the optical fiber adapter 700. The optical receiving signal is transmitted to the first lens 516 through the optical fiber adapter 700, collimated by the first lens 516 and transmitted to the light incident surface of the first displacement prism 561, then transmitted to the first reflection surface of the first displacement prism 561 through the light incident surface of the first displacement prism 561, reflected by the first reflection surface of the first displacement prism 561 and transmitted to the second reflection surface of the first displacement prism 561, then reflected by the second reflection surface of the first displacement prism 561 and transmitted to the light exit surface of the first displacement prism 561, then transmitted through the light exit surface of the first displacement prism 561 to the first filter 563, reflected by the first filter 563 and transmitted to the first reflection mirror 562, and then reflected by the first reflection mirror 562 and transmitted to the wavelength division multiplexer 564. If the received optical signal includes an optical signal with a fourth wavelength, the fourth wavelength optical signal is transmitted to the second shifting prism 565 via the wavelength division multiplexer 564, and then transmitted to the first optical receiving component 530 via the second shifting prism 565. If the received optical signal includes an optical signal with a fifth wavelength, the fifth wavelength optical signal is transmitted to the second optical receiving component 540 via the wavelength division multiplexer 564. If the received optical signal includes an optical signal with a sixth wavelength, the sixth wavelength optical signal is transmitted to the third shifting prism 566 via the wavelength division multiplexer 564, and then transmitted to the third optical receiving component 550 via the third shifting prism 566.
[0105] Figure 16 is a diagram of the optical path within an optical container according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 16, the optical signal emitted by the optical emitting component 400 is first adjusted in the Y direction by the fourth displacement prism 567 before entering the first filter 563. The signal then passes through the first filter 563 and enters the first displacement prism 561. The signal then passes through the first displacement prism 561 and enters the first lens 516, where it is finally converged.
[0106] A beam of received optical signals including the fourth wavelength optical signal, the fifth wavelength optical signal, and the sixth wavelength optical signal is first collimated by the first lens 516 and then transmitted to the first displacement prism 561. Then, the received optical signals are adjusted in the Y direction by the first displacement prism 561 and then incident on the first filter 563. The received optical signals are again reflected by the first filter 563 and transmitted to the first reflector 562. Then, the received optical signals are reflected by the first reflector 562 and transmitted to the wavelength division multiplexer 564. Finally, the received optical signals are split into the fourth wavelength optical signal, the fifth wavelength optical signal, and the sixth wavelength optical signal according to the wavelength of the optical signals by the wavelength division multiplexer 564.
[0107] The light signal is reflected by the first reflection surface of the first displacement prism 561 to the second reflection surface of the first displacement prism 561 , and then reflected by the second reflection surface of the first displacement prism 561 to the exit surface of the first displacement prism 561 , and then emitted through the exit surface of the first displacement prism 561 .
[0108] The fourth wavelength optical signal is transmitted to the incident surface of the second displacement prism 565. The optical signal passes through the incident surface of the second displacement prism 565 and is incident on the first reflection surface of the second displacement prism 565. The optical signal is reflected from the first reflection surface of the second displacement prism 565 to the second reflection surface of the second displacement prism 565. The optical signal is reflected from the second reflection surface of the second displacement prism 565 to the exit surface of the second displacement prism 565. The optical signal is emitted from the exit surface of the second displacement prism 565 to the first light receiving element 530. The fifth wavelength optical signal is transmitted through the optical filter 541 and is transmitted to the second light receiving element 540. The sixth wavelength optical signal is transmitted to the incident surface of the third displacement prism 566. The optical signal passes through the incident surface of the third displacement prism 566 and is incident on the first reflection surface of the third displacement prism 566. The optical signal is reflected by the first reflection surface of the third displacement prism 566 to the second reflection surface of the third displacement prism 566. The optical signal is reflected by the second reflection surface of the third displacement prism 566 to the exit surface of the third displacement prism 566. The optical signal is emitted to the third light receiving component 550 through the exit surface of the third displacement prism 566.
[0109] The fourth wavelength optical signal is transmitted to the first optical receiving component 530, the fifth wavelength optical signal is transmitted to the second optical receiving component 540, and the sixth wavelength optical signal is transmitted to the third optical receiving component 550. Of course, in some embodiments, the optical signal transmitted to the first optical receiving component 530 is not limited to the fourth wavelength optical signal and may also include optical signals of other wavelengths, but is mainly the fourth wavelength optical signal; the optical signal transmitted to the second optical receiving component 540 is not limited to the fifth wavelength optical signal and may also include optical signals of other wavelengths, but is mainly the fifth wavelength optical signal; the optical signal transmitted to the third optical receiving component 550 is not limited to the sixth wavelength optical signal and may also include optical signals of other wavelengths, but is mainly the sixth wavelength optical signal.
[0110] In some embodiments, a filter 541 is provided at the light input front end of the second light receiving component 540 , and the filter 541 is used to filter out the clutter in the optical signal that is about to be incident on the second light receiving component 540 , thereby improving the quality of the optical signal incident on the second light receiving component 540 .
[0111] In some embodiments, an isolator 569 is provided in the fifth connection hole 5102. The isolator 569 is used to prevent the light emission signal reflected back by the fourth displacement prism 567 from re-entering the second shell 410, thereby reducing the impact of the reflected light emission signal on the light emission signal generated by the light emission component 400.
[0112] Figure 17 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a light emitting component according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 18 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a light emitting component according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 19 is an exploded schematic diagram of a light emitting component according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 17-19, the light emitting component 400 includes a second housing 410 and a second upper cover 420. The second upper cover 420 covers and connects to the second housing 410 to form a second cavity. The second housing 410 includes a bottom plate 411, a first side wall 412, a second side wall 413, a third side wall 414, and a fourth side wall 415. The first, second, third, and fourth side walls 412, 413, 414, and 415 are sequentially connected, with their bottoms connected to the bottom plate 411, forming a second inner cavity. The tops of the first, second, third, and fourth side walls 412, 413, 414, and 415 are supported and connected to the second upper cover 420. The bottom plate 411 is used to support the device.
[0113] In some embodiments, the second housing 410 is a housing integrally formed of metal material.
[0114] The first sidewall 412 is located at one end of the second housing 410. A sixth connection hole 4121 is provided on the first sidewall 412. The sixth connection hole 4121 communicates with the second inner cavity and serves as a light outlet for the second cavity. The sixth connection hole 4121 connects to the first housing 510, connecting the second housing 410 to the accommodating cavity 517 through the sixth connection hole 4121. For example, the sixth connection hole 4121 is embedded in the other end of the connector 5101.
[0115] In some embodiments, a boss 4122 is provided on the outer side of the first side wall 412 , one end of the sixth connection hole 4121 passes through the boss 4122 , and the end of the connection seat 5101 is embedded with the connection boss 4122 .
[0116] The second sidewall 413 is located on a side of the first housing 510, within the notched corner 510b and adjacent to the third light receiving element 550. The third sidewall 414 is located at the other end of the first housing 510, adjacent to the circuit board 300. The fourth sidewall 415 is located on a side of the first housing 510, with the second sidewall 413 located at the edge of the notched corner 510b. Exemplarily, two rows of pins are provided on each of the third and fourth sidewalls 414, 415, each row including a plurality of pins 430. For ease of description, the row of pins on the third and fourth sidewalls 414, 415 that is adjacent to the bottom plate 411 is referred to as the bottom row of pins on the third and fourth sidewalls 414, 415. The pins 430 on the third and fourth sidewalls 414, 415 are electrically connected to the circuit board 300 via corresponding flexible printed circuit boards.
[0117] As shown in FIG19 , a first laser assembly 440, a second laser assembly 450, and a third laser assembly 460 are disposed within the second housing 410. In some embodiments, the first laser assembly 440 is located on the sides of the second sidewall 413 and the third sidewall 414; the second laser assembly 450 and the third laser assembly 460 are located on the sides of the fourth sidewall 415, with the third laser assembly 460 located on the side of the second laser assembly 450 away from the third sidewall 414. The third laser assembly 460 is located on the side of the first sidewall 412. This arrangement allows the first laser assembly 440, the second laser assembly 450, and the third laser assembly 460 to be distributed on the sides of two adjacent sidewalls of the second housing 410. This arrangement results in a triangular distribution of the first laser assembly 440, the second laser assembly 450, and the third laser assembly 460, rather than being arranged in a row, to reduce the packaging volume of the light-emitting component 400. Illustratively, the first laser assembly 440 generates an optical signal of a first wavelength, the second laser assembly 450 generates an optical signal of a second wavelength, and the third laser assembly 460 generates an optical signal of a third wavelength.
[0118] In some embodiments, the third sidewall 414 is disposed along the width direction of the second housing 410, and the fourth sidewall is disposed along the length direction of the second housing 410. This allows the first laser assembly 440 to be disposed within the width direction of the second housing 410, thereby reducing the width dimension of the second housing 410. The second laser assembly 450 and the third laser assembly 460 are disposed within the length direction of the second housing 410, in conjunction with the first laser assembly 440 disposed within the width direction of the second housing 410. This allows sufficient laser assemblies to be disposed within the second housing 410, while reducing the overall dimension of the second housing 410 and, consequently, the dimension of the light-emitting component 400.
[0119] In some embodiments, the first laser assembly 440, the second laser assembly 450, and the third laser assembly 460 have different transmission rates. For example, the transmission rate of the first laser assembly 440 is greater than the transmission rate of the second laser assembly 450, and the transmission rate of the second laser assembly 450 is greater than the transmission rate of the third laser assembly 460. For example, the transmission rate of the first laser assembly 440 is 50G, the transmission rate of the second laser assembly 450 is 10G, and the transmission rate of the third laser assembly 460 is 2.5G.
[0120] A second filter 416 and a third filter 417 are also disposed on the side of the light outlet in the second housing 410. The second filter 416 and the third filter 417 are disposed on the side of the sixth connection hole 4121 and are located on the output optical paths of the first laser assembly 440, the second laser assembly 450, and the third laser assembly 460. The second filter 416 and the third filter 417 are disposed side by side. The second filter 416 and the third filter 417 are used to change the transmission optical paths of the first wavelength optical signal, the second wavelength optical signal, and the third wavelength optical signal, allowing the first wavelength optical signal, the second wavelength optical signal, and the third wavelength optical signal to pass through the sixth connection hole 4121. Exemplarily, the third filter 417 and the second filter 416 transmit the first wavelength optical signal, the third filter 417 reflects the second wavelength optical signal, and the second filter 416 transmits the second wavelength optical signal and reflects the third wavelength optical signal.
[0121] In some embodiments, the second filter 416 and the third filter 417 are arranged on the side where the first side wall 412 and the second side wall 413 are connected, so that the second filter 416, the third filter 417 and the first laser assembly 440 are arranged compactly, which facilitates controlling the length direction of the second shell 410.
[0122] In some embodiments, second filter 416 is disposed at the intersection of the output optical paths of first laser assembly 440 and third laser assembly 460, and third filter 417 is disposed at the intersection of the output optical paths of first laser assembly 440 and second laser assembly 450. First laser assembly 440 is located on the transmissive side of third filter 417, second laser assembly 450 is located on the reflective side of third filter 417, and third laser assembly 460 is located on the reflective side of second filter 416. Exemplarily, second filter 416 includes a first optical surface and a second optical surface, which are primary optical surfaces of second filter 416. Third filter 417 includes a third optical surface and a fourth optical surface, which are primary optical surfaces of third filter 417. The first optical surface faces third laser assembly 460, the second optical surface faces third filter 417, the third optical surface faces second laser assembly 450, and the fourth optical surface faces first laser assembly 440.
[0123] In some embodiments, a mounting bracket 470 is further disposed within the second housing 410. The mounting bracket 470 is disposed on the side of the sixth connection hole 4121 and is fixed within the second housing 410. The mounting bracket 470 supports and connects the second optical filter 416 and the third optical filter 417. The second optical filter 416 and the third optical filter 417 are fixed within the second housing 410 via the mounting bracket 470, facilitating the fixing of the second optical filter 416 and the third optical filter 417 within the second housing 410.
[0124] In some embodiments, a lens 418 is further disposed within the second housing 410. The lens 418 is disposed on the optical path from the first laser assembly 440, the second laser assembly 450, and the third laser assembly 460 to the second filter 416 or the third filter 417. For example, a first lens 4181 is disposed on the optical path from the first laser assembly 440 to the third filter 417 to collimate the first wavelength optical signal; a second lens 4182 is disposed on the optical path from the second laser assembly 450 to the third filter 417 to collimate the second wavelength optical signal; and a third lens 4183 is disposed on the optical path from the third laser assembly 460 to the second filter 416 to collimate the third wavelength optical signal.

The first jack is used to insert a first transmitting pin, and the second jack is used to insert a second transmitting pin, thereby reducing signal crosstalk between the first transmitting pin and the second transmitting pin. The first transmitting pin is a rate-related transmitting pin 405, and the second transmitting pin is a rate-independent transmitting pin 405.
[0168] As shown in Figures 30 and 31, in some embodiments, a first soldering pad 406 is further provided at the second end of the launch shell 402, one end of the first soldering pad 406 is welded to the first launch pin located on the first socket, and the other end of the first soldering pad 406 is wired to the soldering pad where the laser component 431 is located.
[0169] In some embodiments, the first optical component 403 is fixed in the emission cavity through the substrate 404, and the soldering pad where the laser component 431 is located is connected to the first soldering pad 406 by wire bonding, so that the soldering pad where the laser component 431 is located is flush with the height of the first soldering pad 406, thereby shortening the wire bonding length between the soldering pad where the laser component 431 is located and the first soldering pad 406.
[0170] In some embodiments, the launch housing 402 has an opening. For example, the launch housing 402 includes a first launch side panel 421, a second launch side panel 422, a third launch side panel 423, a fourth launch side panel 424, and a launch bottom panel 425. The first launch side panel 421, the second launch side panel 422, the third launch side panel 423, and the fourth launch side panel 424 are connected end to end, and the first launch side panel 421, the second launch side panel 422, the third launch side panel 423, and the fourth launch side panel 424 are all connected to the launch bottom panel 425 to form a launch cavity having an opening.
[0171] The first emitting side plate 421 has a third through hole 4211 .
[0172] The third launching side panel 423 includes a first sub-launching side panel 4231, a second sub-launching side panel 4232 and a third sub-launching side panel 4233. The first sub-launching side panel 4231 is connected to the launching base panel 425. The distances between the first sub-launching side panel 4231, the second sub-launching side panel 4232 and the third sub-launching side panel 4233 and the launching base panel 425 increase successively. The first sub-launching side panel 4231, the second sub-launching side panel 4232 and the third sub-launching side panel 4233 are connected successively so that the third launching side panel 423 is stepped.
[0173] A first solder pad 406 is provided on the surface of the first sub-emitting side panel 4231 facing the opening of the emission housing 402. A first socket is provided on the surface of the second sub-emitting side panel 4232 facing the laser assembly 431. The first socket passes through the second sub-emitting side panel 4232 to facilitate insertion of the first emission pin from the emission housing 402 into the emission housing 402. A second socket is provided on the surface of the third sub-emitting side panel 4233 facing the laser assembly 431. The second socket passes through the third sub-emitting side panel 4233 to facilitate insertion of the second emission pin from the emission housing 402 into the emission housing 402.
[0174] The first jack passes through the second sub-transmitting side panel 4232, and the second jack passes through the third sub-transmitting side panel 4233. The second sub-transmitting side panel 4232 and the third sub-transmitting side panel 4233 are stepped, so as to extend the distance between the first jack and the second jack in the length direction of the transmitting shell 402, reduce the distance between the first jack and the second jack in the height direction of the transmitting shell 402, and thereby reduce the signal crosstalk between the first transmitting pin inserted into the first jack and the second transmitting pin inserted into the second jack.
[0175] The fourth emitting side panel 424 includes a fourth sub-emitting side panel 4241 and a fifth sub-emitting side panel 4242. One side surface of the fourth sub-emitting side panel 4241 is connected to the emitting bottom panel 425, and the other side surface of the fourth sub-emitting side panel 4241 is connected to the fifth sub-emitting side panel 4242, so that the fourth emitting side panel 424 is stepped; one end of the fourth sub-emitting side panel 4241 is connected to the first emitting side panel 421, and the other end of the fourth sub-emitting side panel 4241 is connected to the first sub-emitting side panel 4231; one end of the fifth sub-emitting side panel 4242 is connected to the first emitting side panel 421, and the other end of the fifth sub-emitting side panel 4242 is connected to the second sub-emitting side panel 4232 and the third sub-emitting side panel 4233.

[0177] Figure 33 is an optical path diagram of a first optical component according to some embodiments. Figure 34 is another optical path diagram of a first optical component according to some embodiments. Figure 35 is a combined optical path diagram of a first optical component and a second optical component according to some embodiments. As shown in Figures 33, 34, and 35, laser assembly 431 includes a first laser assembly 4311, a second laser assembly 4312, and a third laser assembly 4313; second laser assembly 4312 is located between first laser assembly 4311 and third laser assembly 4313, and the light output directions of first laser assembly 4311, second laser assembly 4312, and third laser assembly 4313 are toward the combiner assembly.
[0178] In some embodiments, the first laser assembly 4311 emits a first wavelength optical signal, the second laser assembly 4312 emits a second wavelength optical signal, and the third laser assembly 4313 emits a third wavelength optical signal. The optical axes of the first, second, and third wavelength optical signals are parallel to the longitudinal extension direction of the emitting housing. For example, the wavelength of the first wavelength optical signal is in the range of 1340-1344 nm, such as 1342 nm; the wavelength of the second wavelength optical signal is in the range of 1480-1500 nm, such as 1490 nm; and the wavelength of the third wavelength optical signal is in the range of 1575-1580 nm, such as 1577 nm.
[0179] In some embodiments, the transmission rate of the first laser assembly 4311 is greater than the transmission rate of the third laser assembly 4313, and the transmission rate of the third laser assembly 4313 is greater than the transmission rate of the second laser assembly 4312. For example, the transmission rate of the first laser assembly 4311 is 50G, the transmission rate of the second laser assembly 4312 is 2.5G, and the transmission rate of the third laser assembly 4313 is 10G.
[0180] In some embodiments, the light-emitting end faces of the first laser assembly 4311, the second laser assembly 4312 and the third laser assembly 4313 are not flush, that is, the light-emitting end faces of the first laser assembly 4311, the second laser assembly 4312 and the third laser assembly 4313 are located on different length surfaces of the emitting shell.
[0181] In some embodiments, first laser assembly 4311, second laser assembly 4312, and third laser assembly 4313 utilize a chip-on-carrier (COC) package, which can also be referred to as chip-on-ceramic substrate (CPC). Therefore, the side profiles of first laser assembly 4311, second laser assembly 4312, and third laser assembly 4313 are relatively regular, such as rectangular.
[0182] In some embodiments, the lens assembly 432 includes a first lens 4321, a second lens 4322 and a third lens 4323. The first lens 4321 is arranged on the transmission optical path from the first laser assembly 4311 to the combining assembly, the second lens 4322 is arranged on the transmission optical path from the second laser assembly 4312 to the combining assembly, and the third lens 4323 is arranged on the transmission optical path from the third laser assembly 4313 to the combining assembly.
[0183] In some embodiments, the first lens 4321 , the second lens 4322 , and the third lens 4323 are disposed on the substrate 404 . Of course, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the first lens 4321 , the second lens 4322 , and the third lens 4323 being disposed on the substrate 404 .
[0184] In some embodiments, the combining component includes a wavelength division multiplexer, the input side of the wavelength division multiplexer faces the laser component, and the output side of the wavelength division multiplexer faces the third through hole 4211. The wavelength division multiplexer combines the optical signal of the first wavelength, the optical signal of the second wavelength, and the optical signal of the third wavelength emitted by the laser component 431 into one optical signal.
[0185] In some embodiments, the wavelength combining component includes a plurality of optical filters, which cooperate with each other to combine the optical signal of the first wavelength, the optical signal of the second wavelength, and the optical signal of the third wavelength into one optical signal.
[0186] In some embodiments, the combining assembly includes a polarization assembly 433 and a polarization combining assembly 434. Polarization assembly 433 is used to adjust the polarization direction of the optical signal, and polarization combining assembly 434 combines multiple polarized beams into a single beam. The polarization assembly adjusts the polarization direction of the optical signal, and then combines the multiple polarized beams into a single beam by the polarization combining assembly, thereby achieving wave combining in the optical emitting component.
[0187] As shown in FIG33 , in some embodiments, the polarization component 433 includes a first polarization component 4331, a second polarization component 4332, and a third polarization component 4333. The first polarization component 4331 is located in the light-emitting direction of the first laser assembly 4311 and is used to adjust the deflection direction of the first wavelength optical signal emitted by the first laser assembly 4311 so that the polarization direction of the first wavelength optical signal is horizontal, i.e., horizontally polarized light. The second polarization component 4332 is located in the light-emitting direction of the second laser assembly 4312 and is used to adjust the deflection direction of the second wavelength optical signal emitted by the second laser assembly 4312 so that the polarization direction of the second wavelength optical signal is vertical, i.e., second vertically polarized light. The third polarization component 4333 is located in the light-emitting direction of the third laser assembly 4313 and is used to adjust the deflection direction of the third wavelength optical signal emitted by the third laser assembly 4313 so that the polarization direction of the third wavelength optical signal is vertical, i.e., first vertically polarized light.
[0188] As shown in Figure 33, in some embodiments, the polarization combining component 434 includes a first polarization combining component 4341, a second polarization combining component 4342 and a third polarization combining component 4343. The first polarization combining component 4341 is located on the left side of the first polarization component 4331, and the first polarization combining component 4341 is located between the third through hole 4211 and the first polarization component 4331. The first polarization combining component 4341 is used to transmit the horizontal polarized light (horizontally polarized light) of the first wavelength optical signal, and is also used to reflect the vertical polarized light (second vertical polarized light) of the second wavelength optical signal and the vertical polarized light (first vertical polarized light) of the third wavelength optical signal, and then combine the three into one optical signal. The second polarization combiner 4342 is located to the left of the second polarization component 4332. The second polarization combiner 4342 is configured to reflect the vertically polarized light (second vertically polarized light) of the second wavelength optical signal to the first polarization combiner 4341, and to transmit the vertically polarized light (first vertically polarized light) of the third wavelength optical signal to the first polarization combiner 4341. The third polarization combiner 4343 is located to the left of the third polarization component 4333. The third polarization combiner 4343 is configured to reflect the vertically polarized light (first vertically polarized light) of the third wavelength optical signal to the second polarization combiner 4342.
[0189] In some embodiments, the first polarization combining element 4341 is a polarization beam splitter, which can transmit horizontally polarized light and reflect vertically polarized light to achieve beam combining. For example, the first vertically polarized light and the second vertically polarized light are reflected by the polarization beam splitter, while the horizontally polarized light is transmitted by the polarization beam splitter to achieve beam combining.
[0190] In some embodiments, the second polarization combiner 4342 is a filter that can reflect the second wavelength optical signal and transmit the third wavelength optical signal to achieve beam combining. The second polarization combiner 4342 is arranged at an angle relative to the central axis of the second polarization component 4332. For example, the angle between the second polarization combiner 4342 and the central axis of the second polarization component 4332 is 45°.
[0191] In some embodiments, the third polarization combiner 4343 is a reflector that reflects the third wavelength optical signal. The third polarization combiner 4343 is tilted relative to the central axis of the third polarization component 4333. For example, the angle between the third polarization combiner 4343 and the central axis of the third polarization component 4333 is 45°.
[0192] The polarization component 433 and the polarization combining component 434 shown in Figure 33 are placed in the transmitting shell 402. The third through hole 4211 of the transmitting shell 402 is coaxial with the third polarization combining component 4343. The opening of the transmitting shell 402 is facing downward in the opposite direction to the opening of the transceiver shell.
[0193] As shown in FIG34 , in some embodiments, a first polarization component 4331 is used to adjust the deflection direction of a first wavelength optical signal emitted by the first laser assembly 4311 so that the polarization direction of the first wavelength optical signal is vertical, i.e., first vertically polarized light. A second polarization component 4332 is used to adjust the deflection direction of a second wavelength optical signal emitted by the second laser assembly 4312 so that the polarization direction of the second wavelength optical signal is vertical, i.e., second vertically polarized light. A third polarization component 4333 is used to adjust the deflection direction of a third wavelength optical signal emitted by the third laser assembly 4313 so that the polarization direction of the third wavelength optical signal is horizontal, i.e., horizontally polarized light.
[0194] As shown in FIG34 , in some embodiments, a third polarization combiner 4343 is located between the third through-hole 4211 and the third polarization component 4333. The first polarization combiner 4341 is configured to reflect the vertically polarized light (first polarized light) of the first wavelength optical signal to the second polarization combiner 4342. The second polarization combiner 4342 is configured to reflect the vertically polarized light (second vertical polarized light) of the second wavelength optical signal to the third polarization combiner 4343, and further configured to transmit the vertically polarized light (first polarized light) of the first wavelength optical signal to the third polarization combiner 4343. The third polarization combiner 4343 is configured to transmit the horizontally polarized light (horizontally polarized light) of the third wavelength optical signal and reflect the vertically polarized light (first polarized light) of the first wavelength optical signal and the vertically polarized light (second vertical polarized light) of the second wavelength optical signal to achieve beam combining.
[0195] In some embodiments, the first polarization combiner 4341 is a reflector that reflects the first wavelength optical signal. The first polarization combiner 4341 is tilted relative to the central axis of the first polarization component 4331. For example, the angle between the first polarization combiner 4341 and the central axis of the first polarization component 4331 is 45°.
[0196] In some embodiments, the second polarization combiner 4342 is a filter that can reflect the second wavelength optical signal and transmit the first wavelength optical signal to achieve beam combining. The second polarization combiner 4342 is arranged at an angle relative to the central axis of the second polarization component 4332. For example, the angle between the second polarization combiner 4342 and the central axis of the second polarization component 4332 is 45°.
[0197] In some embodiments, the third polarization combiner 4343 is a polarization beam splitter that can transmit horizontally polarized light and reflect vertically polarized light to achieve beam combining. For example, the first vertically polarized light and the second vertically polarized light are reflected by the polarization beam splitter, while the horizontally polarized light is transmitted by the polarization beam splitter to achieve beam combining.
[0198] The polarization component 433 and the polarization combining component 434 shown in Figure 34 are placed in the transmitting shell 402. The third through hole 4211 of the transmitting shell 402 is coaxial with the third polarization combining component 4343. The opening direction of the transmitting shell 402 is the same as the downward direction of the opening of the transceiver shell.
[0199] As shown in FIG33 , the first wavelength optical signal emitted by the first laser assembly 4311 is transmitted to the first lens 4321, collimated by the first lens 4321, and transmitted to the first polarization component 4331. The polarization direction of the first wavelength optical signal is adjusted by the first polarization component 4331 before being transmitted to the first polarization combiner 4341. The second wavelength optical signal emitted by the second laser assembly 4312 is transmitted to the second lens 4322, collimated by the second lens 4322, and transmitted to the second polarization component 4332. The polarization direction of the second wavelength optical signal is adjusted by the second polarization component 4332 before being transmitted to the second polarization combiner 4342. The third wavelength optical signal emitted by the third laser assembly 4313 is transmitted to the third lens 4323, collimated by the third lens 4323, and transmitted to the third polarization component 4333. The polarization direction of the third wavelength optical signal is adjusted by the third polarization component 4333 before being transmitted to the third polarization combiner 4343. The third polarization combiner 4343 reflects the vertically polarized light of the third wavelength optical signal to the second polarization combiner 4342. The second polarization combiner 4342 reflects the vertically polarized light of the second wavelength optical signal to the first polarization combiner 4341 and transmits the vertically polarized light of the third wavelength optical signal to the first polarization combiner 4341. The first polarization combiner 4341 transmits the horizontally polarized light of the first wavelength optical signal and reflects the vertically polarized light of the second wavelength optical signal and the third wavelength optical signal, so that the horizontally polarized light of the first wavelength optical signal, the vertically polarized light of the second wavelength optical signal, and the vertically polarized light of the third wavelength optical signal are combined into one optical signal.
[0200] As shown in FIG35 , after the horizontally polarized light of the first wavelength optical signal, the vertically polarized light of the second wavelength optical signal, and the third wavelength optical signal are combined into a beam of optical signals, the optical signal is first adjusted in the Y direction by the fourth displacement prism 567 and then incident on the first filter 563. Then, the optical signal is incident on the first displacement prism 561 through the first filter 563. Then, the optical signal is adjusted in the Y direction by the first displacement prism 561 and incident on the first lens 516, and finally converged by the first lens 516.
[0201] Figure 36 is a schematic diagram illustrating the optical axis of a wave plate, the polarization direction of an incident light signal, and the polarization direction of an outgoing light signal according to some embodiments. As shown in Figure 36, a is the polarization direction of the incident light signal, b is the optical axis of the first wave plate, and c is the polarization direction of the outgoing light signal. Figure A illustrates the polarization direction of an outgoing light signal obtained after the wave plate passes through an incident light signal with a polarization direction of 45°, which is horizontal. Figure B illustrates the polarization direction of an outgoing light signal obtained after the wave plate passes through an incident light signal with a polarization direction of 135°, which is horizontal. Figure C illustrates the polarization direction of an outgoing light signal obtained after the wave plate passes through an incident light signal with a polarization direction of 45°, which is vertical. Figure C illustrates the polarization direction of an outgoing light signal obtained after the wave plate passes through an incident light signal with a polarization direction of 135°, which is vertical.
[0202] As shown in FIG36 , in some embodiments, the wave plate is a half-wave plate, and incident linearly polarized light passes through the half-wave plate as linearly polarized light. A characteristic of a half-wave plate is that the polarization directions of the incident light and the outgoing light are symmetrical with respect to the optical axis of the half-wave plate.
[0203] The following only uses the polarization component 433 and the polarization combining component 434 shown in Figure 33 as an example to introduce the beam combining principle of the optical emitting component. Since the optical signal after the polarization combining component combines includes a vertical polarization state and a horizontal polarization state, if a structural component for reverse isolation is provided after the polarization combining component, then at least two isolators need to be provided after the polarization combining component to achieve reverse isolation. Therefore, an isolator can be provided before the polarization combining component. Since the isolator includes a first polarizer, a Faraday plate, and a second polarizer, an isolator is provided before the polarization combining component, and the optical signal emits non-horizontally polarized light and non-vertically polarized light after passing through the isolator. In order to make the optical signal emit horizontally polarized light or vertically polarized light after passing through the polarization component, it is necessary to add a wave plate after the second polarizer. Non-horizontally polarized light emits horizontally polarized light after passing through the wave plate, and non-vertically polarized light emits horizontally polarized light or vertically polarized light after passing through the wave plate. The reverse isolation principle of the isolator is as follows: the Faraday plate rotates in the same direction, and the polarized light passing through the first polarizer cannot return to the first polarizer after the Faraday rotation, so that the isolator composed of the first polarizer, the Faraday plate and the second polarizer has a reverse isolation effect.
[0204] In some embodiments, the first polarization component 4331, the second polarization component 4332 and the third polarization component 4333 all include a first polarizer, a Faraday plate, a second polarizer and a wave plate. The first polarizer, the Faraday plate, the second polarizer and the wave plate are sequentially away from the first laser component. The first wavelength light signal emitted by the first laser component passes through the first polarizer, the Faraday plate, the second polarizer and the wave plate in sequence and is emitted. The angle between the optical axis of the wave plate and the horizontal plane is a preset angle, so that the light signal with the same polarization direction as the second polarizer is adjusted to horizontal polarized light or vertical polarized light after passing through the wave plate. For example, the angle between the optical axis of the wave plate of the first polarization component 4331 and the horizontal plane is a first preset angle, so that the light signal with the same polarization direction as the second polarizer is adjusted to horizontal polarized light after passing through the wave plate; the angle between the optical axis of the wave plate of the second polarization component 4332 and the horizontal plane is a second preset angle, so that the light signal with the same polarization direction as the second polarizer is adjusted to vertical polarized light after passing through the wave plate; the angle between the optical axis of the wave plate of the third polarization component 4333 and the horizontal plane is a third preset angle, so that the light signal with the same polarization direction as the second polarizer is adjusted to vertical polarized light after passing through the wave plate.
[0205] The first preset angle is different from the second preset angle.
[0206] The polarization direction of the second polarizer of the second polarization assembly is the same as the polarization direction of the second polarizer of the third polarization assembly, so that the second preset angle is the same as the third preset angle.
[0207] In some embodiments, the first polarizer is a horizontal polarizer, and the second polarizer is a 45° polarizer. For example, the first polarization component 4331 includes a horizontal polarizer, a Faraday plate, and a 45° polarizer, the second polarization component 4332 includes a horizontal polarizer, a Faraday plate, and a 45° polarizer, and the third polarization component 4333 includes a horizontal polarizer, a Faraday plate, and a 45° polarizer.
[0208] In some embodiments, the first polarizer is a vertical polarizer, and the second polarizer is a 135° polarizer. For example, the first polarization component 4331 includes a vertical polarizer, a Faraday plate, and a 135° polarizer, the second polarization component 4332 includes a vertical polarizer, a Faraday plate, and a 135° polarizer, and the third polarization component 4333 includes a vertical polarizer, a Faraday plate, and a 135° polarizer.
[0209] In some embodiments, a first polarizer, a Faraday plate, and a second polarizer are sequentially connected to form an isolator. A wave plate is located outside the isolator and is mounted on substrate 404. For example, a horizontal polarizer, a Faraday plate, and a 45° polarizer are sequentially connected to form an isolator; a vertical polarizer, a Faraday plate, and a 135° polarizer are sequentially connected to form an isolator. In some embodiments, the first polarizer, the Faraday plate, and the second polarizer are sequentially bonded using glue.
[0210] In some embodiments, a first polarizer, a Faraday plate, a second polarizer, and a wave plate are sequentially connected to form an isolator. This not only facilitates the mounting of the wave plate but also reduces the space required for the transmitter housing. For example, a horizontal polarizer, a Faraday plate, a 45° polarizer, and a wave plate are sequentially connected to form an isolator; a vertical polarizer, a Faraday plate, a 135° polarizer, and a wave plate are sequentially connected to form an isolator. In some embodiments, the first polarizer, Faraday plate, second polarizer, and wave plate are sequentially bonded using glue.
[0211] Since the structures of the first polarization component 4331, the second polarization component 4332 and the third polarization component 4333 are the same, only the optical axis angles of the wave plates are slightly different. Instead of introducing each polarization component in detail, only the first polarization component 4331 and the second polarization component 4332 are used as examples to introduce the polarization components.
[0212] Taking the first polarization assembly 4331 as an example, the first polarization assembly 4331 includes a horizontal polarizer, a Faraday plate, a 45° polarizer, and a first wave plate. The horizontal polarizer, Faraday plate, 45° polarizer, and first wave plate are sequentially positioned away from the first laser assembly 4311. After passing through the horizontal polarizer, Faraday plate, and 45° polarizer, the optical signal emits 45° polarized light. As shown in A of FIG36 , 45° polarized light (i.e., an incident light signal with a 45° polarization direction) is polarized by the first wave plate to obtain horizontal polarized light (i.e., an outgoing light signal with a horizontal polarization direction). The optical axis of the first wave plate is obtained by rotating the polarization direction of the incident light signal clockwise by 22.5°. That is, the angle between the optical axis of the first wave plate and the horizontal plane is a first preset angle, and the first preset angle is 22.5°.
[0213] In some embodiments, the horizontal polarizer, the Faraday plate, and the 45° polarizer are sequentially connected to form a fourth isolator, and the first wave plate is located outside the fourth isolator.
[0214] In some embodiments, a horizontal polarizer, a Faraday plate, a 45° polarizer, and a first wave plate are sequentially connected to form a first isolator.
[0215] In some embodiments, the first polarization assembly 4331 includes a vertical polarizer, a Faraday plate, a 135° polarizer, and a first wave plate. The vertical polarizer, Faraday plate, 135° polarizer, and first wave plate are sequentially positioned away from the first laser assembly 4311. After the optical signal passes through the vertical polarizer, Faraday plate, and 135° polarizer, it emits 135° polarized light. As shown in FIG36B , the 135° polarized light (i.e., the incident light signal with a 135° polarization direction) is polarized by the first wave plate to produce horizontally polarized light (i.e., the outgoing light signal with a horizontal polarization direction). The optical axis of the first wave plate is obtained by rotating the polarization direction of the incident light signal counterclockwise by 22.5°. That is, the angle between the optical axis of the first wave plate and the horizontal plane is a first predetermined angle, which is 157.5°.
[0216] In some embodiments, the vertical polarizer, the Faraday plate, and the 135° polarizer are sequentially connected to form a fourth isolator, and the first wave plate is located outside the fourth isolator.
[0217] In some embodiments, a vertical polarizer, a Faraday plate, a 135° polarizer, and a first wave plate are sequentially connected to form a first isolator.
[0218] The above configuration does not consider adjusting the magnetic poles of the first or fourth isolators. If the magnetic poles of the fourth isolator are adjusted, the fourth isolator includes a vertical polarizer, a Faraday plate, and a 45° polarizer. If the magnetic poles of the first isolator are adjusted, the first isolator includes a vertical polarizer, a Faraday plate, a 45° polarizer, and a first wave plate. The first wave plate's optical axis forms an angle of 22.5° with the horizontal plane.
[0219] Taking the second polarization assembly 4332 as an example, the second polarization assembly 4332 includes a horizontal polarizer, a Faraday plate, a 45° polarizer, and a second wave plate. The horizontal polarizer, Faraday plate, 45° polarizer, and second wave plate are sequentially spaced away from the second laser assembly 4312. After passing through the horizontal polarizer, Faraday plate, and 45° polarizer, the optical signal emits 45° polarized light. As shown in C of FIG36 , the 45° polarized light (i.e., the incident light signal with a 45° polarization direction) is polarized by the second wave plate to obtain vertically polarized light (i.e., the outgoing light signal with a vertical polarization direction). The optical axis of the second wave plate is obtained by rotating the polarization direction of the incident light signal counterclockwise by 22.5°. That is, the angle between the optical axis of the second wave plate and the horizontal plane is a second preset angle of 67.5°.
[0220] In some embodiments, the horizontal polarizer, the Faraday plate, and the 45° polarizer are sequentially connected to form a fifth isolator, and the second wave plate is located outside the fifth isolator.
[0221] In some embodiments, a horizontal polarizer, a Faraday plate, a 45° polarizer, and a second wave plate are sequentially connected to form a second isolator.
[0222] In some embodiments, the second polarization assembly 4332 includes a vertical polarizer, a Faraday plate, a 135° polarizer, and a second wave plate. The vertical polarizer, Faraday plate, 135° polarizer, and second wave plate are sequentially positioned away from the second laser assembly 4312. After the optical signal passes through the vertical polarizer, Faraday plate, and 135° polarizer, it emits 135° polarized light. As shown in D of FIG36 , the 135° polarized light (i.e., the incident light signal with a 135° polarization direction) is polarized by the second wave plate to obtain vertically polarized light (i.e., the outgoing light signal with a vertical polarization direction). The optical axis of the second wave plate is obtained by rotating the polarization direction of the incident light signal clockwise by 22.5°. That is, the angle between the optical axis of the second wave plate and the horizontal plane is a second predetermined angle, which is 112.5°.
[0223] In some embodiments, the vertical polarizer, the Faraday plate, and the 135° polarizer are sequentially connected to form a fifth isolator, and the second wave plate is located outside the fifth isolator.
[0224] In some embodiments, a vertical polarizer, a Faraday plate, a 135° polarizer, and a second wave plate are sequentially connected to form a second isolator.
[0225] The above configuration does not consider adjusting the magnetic poles of the second or fifth isolators. If the magnetic poles of the fifth isolator are adjusted, the fifth isolator will include a vertical polarizer, a Faraday plate, and a 45° polarizer. If the magnetic poles of the second isolator are adjusted, the second isolator will include a vertical polarizer, a Faraday plate, a 45° polarizer, and a second wave plate. The angle between the optical axis of the second wave plate and the horizontal plane is 67.5°.
[0226] The third polarization component 4333 may include a sixth isolator and a third wave plate, or may include a third isolator, wherein the third isolator includes a third wave plate, and the third wave plate is positioned at a third predetermined angle with the horizontal plane. Both the third polarization component 4333 and the second polarization component 4332 function to adjust the deflection direction of the optical signal so that the polarization direction of the optical signal is vertical. Therefore, the sixth isolator is identical to the fifth isolator, and the third isolator is identical to the second isolator, and their details are not further described here.
[0227] The sixth isolator is the same as the fifth isolator, which means that the sixth isolator can be any embodiment of the fifth isolator; the third isolator is the same as the second isolator, which means that the third isolator can be any embodiment of the second isolator.
