[0079] Some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments provided in the present disclosure are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0080] Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "including" is to be interpreted as open and inclusive, that is, "including, but not limited to"; the terms "first" and "second" are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or indicating an upper limit on quantity; the term "plurality" means two or more; the term "connected" is to be understood in a broad sense, for example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection, and can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; the use of the terms "suitable for" or "configured to" means open and inclusive language, which does not exclude equipment that is suitable for or configured to perform additional tasks or steps; terms such as "parallel", "perpendicular", "same", "consistent", "level" and so on are not limited to absolute mathematical theoretical relationships, but also include acceptable error ranges generated in practice, and also include differences based on the same design concept but due to manufacturing reasons.
[0081] 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.
[0082] 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.
[0083] 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 .
[0084] 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.
[0085] 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.
[0086] 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.
[0087] 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.
[0088] 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.
[0089] 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.
[0090] 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.
[0091] 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.
[0092] 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.
[0093] 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.
[0094] 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.
[0095] 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.
[0096] 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.
[0097] In some embodiments, the upper shell 201 and the lower shell 202 are generally made of metal materials, which are conducive to electromagnetic shielding and heat dissipation.
[0098] 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.
[0099] 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.
[0100] 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.
[0101] 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.
[0102] In some embodiments, three light receiving components may be provided on the optical receiving component 500 , and each light receiving component receives a light signal of a corresponding wavelength.
[0103] In some embodiments, two light receiving components may be provided on the optical receiving component 500 , one light receiving component for receiving an optical signal of one wavelength, and the other light receiving component for receiving optical signals of two wavelengths in a time-division manner.
[0104] In some embodiments, a light receiving component may be provided on the optical receiving component 500 , and the light receiving component is used for time-division reception of optical signals of three wavelengths.
[0105] In some embodiments, the light receiving component includes a light detector and a TIA. The light signal is transmitted to the light receiving component. The light detector receives the light signal and converts it into a current signal. The TIA converts the current signal output by the detector into a voltage signal.
[0106] 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.
[0107] In some embodiments, the light emitting component 400 and the light receiving component on 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.
[0108] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of an optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of another optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of another optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figures 5 to 7 show the usage status of the optical accommodation components in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0109] In some embodiments, one end of the optical receiving component 500 is connected to the optical fiber adapter 530, 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 into the optical receiving component 500, then transmitted to the optical fiber adapter 530 through the optical receiving component 500, and finally output through the optical fiber adapter 530. Externally input optical signals are input into the optical receiving component 500 through the optical fiber adapter 530, allowing the optical receiving component 500 and the optical emitting component 400 to share the optical fiber adapter 530, thereby allowing the uplink and downlink optical signals of the optical module to share the optical fiber 101.
[0110] In some embodiments, the optical housing 500 includes a first housing 510 and a first upper cover 520, which together form a first cavity. The interior of the first cavity forms a housing chamber, which is used to accommodate components and enable connections or communication between components. Exemplarily, a displacement prism, a reflector, etc., is disposed within the housing chamber. A fiber optic adapter 530 is connected to one end of the first housing 510, which communicates with the interior of the first housing 510.
[0111] In some embodiments, the other end of the first housing 510 is connected to the optical transmission component 400.

Figure 17 shows another circuit diagram using a first optical receiving component 710, a second optical receiving component 720, and a third optical receiving component 730. The second optical receiving component 730 receives a fourth wavelength optical signal, which may have a rate of 1G or 10G. When the rate of the fourth wavelength optical signal is 1G, the second optical receiving component 730 outputs a first voltage signal; when the rate of the fourth wavelength optical signal is 10G, the second optical receiving component 730 outputs a third voltage signal. The third optical receiving component 730 receives a sixth wavelength optical signal and outputs a first voltage signal.
[0171] In some embodiments, a switch 370 is provided on the circuit board 300. A first input of the switch 370 is connected to the second limiting amplifier 340, a second input of the switch 370 is connected to the third limiting amplifier 360, and an output of the switch 370 is connected to the gold finger 310. The switch 370 is used to connect the second limiting amplifier 340 to the gold finger 310, or to connect the third limiting amplifier 360 to the gold finger 310. The switch 370 can be a high-speed signal switch.
[0172] In some embodiments, MCU 320 controls the connection switch 370 and sends a switching signal to the switch 370. The switch 370 then switches in the corresponding direction based on the received switching signal. For example, MCU 320 may send a first switching signal and a second switching signal to the switch 370. When the switch 370 receives the first switching signal, the switch 370 switches on the second limiting amplifier 340 and the gold finger 310. When the switch 370 receives the second switching signal, the switch 370 switches on the third limiting amplifier 360 and the gold finger 310. MCU 320 may periodically send the first switching signal or the second switching signal to the switch 370 according to internal timing definitions. The first switching signal and the second switching signal may be high or low level signals.

When the second limiting amplifier 340 outputs the processed third voltage signal, it is directly transmitted to the gold finger 310 through the fifth output channel 342.
[0174] In some embodiments, the signal feedback terminal of the second limiting amplifier 340 is connected to the MCU 320. When the second limiting amplifier 340 receives the first voltage signal, the second limiting amplifier 340 sends a first feedback signal to the MCU 320 through the signal feedback terminal. When the MCU 320 receives the first feedback signal, the MCU 320 sends a first switching signal to the switch 370.
[0175] In some embodiments, a signal feedback terminal of the third limiting amplifier 360 is connected to the MCU 320. When the third limiting amplifier 360 receives the first voltage signal, the signal feedback terminal of the third limiting amplifier 360 sends a second feedback signal to the MCU 320. When the MCU 320 receives the second feedback signal, the MCU 320 sends a second switching signal to the switch 370.

The isolator 502 is embedded in a sidewall of the first housing 510 and is located on a side of the fourth displacement prism 501 away from the second reflector 550. The isolator 502 is used to isolate the optical signal reflected by the seventh reflective surface to prevent the optical signal from being transmitted to the optical emitting component 400.
[0179] In some embodiments, the isolator 502 may be disposed on or within the second housing 410 .

The receiver pin extends upward from the bottom of the receiver socket until it extends beyond the top of the receiver socket, where it is wired to the pad where the optical receiver chip is located, thereby electrically connecting the receiver pin and the optical receiver chip, thereby transmitting the electrical signal through the receiver pin to the circuit board 300.
[0189] In some embodiments, the receiving tube cap of the optical receiving assembly is provided with a second lens. The second lens is a converging lens that can converge the optical signal incident on the second lens and couple it to the optical receiving chip in the receiving cavity.
[0190] In some embodiments, the receiving rates of the optical receiving chip of the first optical receiving assembly 520, the receiving rates of the optical receiving chip of the second optical receiving assembly 530, and the receiving rates of the optical receiving chip of the third optical receiving assembly 540 may all be different. For example, the receiving rate of the optical receiving chip of the first optical receiving assembly 520 is greater than the receiving rate of the optical receiving chip of the second optical receiving assembly 530, and greater than the receiving rate of the optical receiving chip of the third optical receiving assembly 540. For example, the receiving rate of the optical receiving chip of the first optical receiving assembly 520 is 25G, the receiving rate of the optical receiving chip of the second optical receiving assembly 530 is 10G, and the receiving rate of the optical receiving chip of the third optical receiving assembly 540 is 2.5G.

The first connection hole 5111 may be connected to the fiber optic adapter 700 to connect the fiber optic adapter 700 to the first cavity. For example, one end of a connecting sleeve 710 is inserted into the first connection hole 5111, and the other end of the connecting sleeve 710 is connected to the fiber optic adapter 700 to connect the fiber optic adapter 700 to the first cavity via the connecting sleeve 710.
[0194] In some embodiments, the first cavity may include a second connection hole 5131. The second connection hole 5131 may be located at the second end of the first cavity.

[0199] In some embodiments, the third connection hole 5122 and the fourth connection hole 5121 can be located on one side wall of the first cavity, and the fifth connection hole 5141 can be located on the other side wall of the first cavity, so that the first light receiving component 520 and the second light receiving component 530 are located on one side wall of the first cavity, and the third light receiving component 540 is located on the other side wall of the first cavity, thereby reducing the length of the first cavity.
[0200] Figure 22 is an exploded view of a first cavity according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 23 is an exploded view of a first housing and a first optical assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 22 and 23, in some embodiments, the first cavity may include a first housing 510.
[0201] In some embodiments, the first cavity may include a first cover plate 515. The first cover plate 515 may be attached to the first housing 510 to form the first cavity. A first optical assembly 517 may be disposed within the first cavity. The first optical assembly 517 may transmit a transmitted optical signal to the fiber optic adapter 700, or may split a received optical signal transmitted by the fiber optic adapter 700 to the first cavity and direct the split optical signal to a corresponding optical receiving assembly.
[0202] During the assembly process, the first optical component 517 is first fixed in the first housing 510 , and then the first cover 515 is covered on the first housing 510 to assemble the first optical component 517 into the first cavity.
[0203] Figure 24 is a cross-sectional view of a first housing according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 22, 23, and 24, in some embodiments, the first housing 510 is recessed inward to form a housing cavity 516, i.e., the inner cavity of the first cavity. The housing cavity 516 is connected to the first connection hole 5111, the second connection hole 5131, the third connection hole 5122, the fourth connection hole 5121, and the fifth connection hole 5141.

[0204] In some embodiments, the first housing 510 may include a first sidewall 511. The first sidewall 511 may have a first connection hole 5111. The first connection hole 5111 may traverse the first sidewall 511 so that the first connection hole 5111 can communicate with the inner cavity of the first cavity, thereby allowing optical signals to be transmitted along the first connection hole 5111 inside and outside the first cavity.
[0205] In some embodiments, the first housing 510 may include a second sidewall 512. One end of the second sidewall 512 may be connected to one end of the first sidewall 511.
[0206] In some embodiments, the second sidewall 512 may have a third connection hole 5122. The third connection hole 5122 may traverse the second sidewall 512 so that the third connection hole 5122 can communicate with the inner cavity of the first cavity, thereby allowing the optical signal of the inner cavity of the first cavity to be incident on the optical receiving component connected to the third connection hole 5122.
[0207] In some embodiments, the second sidewall 512 may have a fourth connection hole 5121. The fourth connection hole 5121 may traverse the second sidewall 512 so that the fourth connection hole 5121 can communicate with the inner cavity of the first cavity, thereby allowing the optical signal of the inner cavity of the first cavity to be incident on the optical receiving component connected to the fourth connection hole 5121.
[0208] In some embodiments, the first housing 510 may include a third sidewall 513. One end of the third sidewall 513 may be connected to the other end of the second sidewall 512. The third sidewall 513 may be disposed opposite the first sidewall 511. The third sidewall 513 may have a second connection hole 5131. The second connection hole 5131 may extend through the third sidewall 513 so as to communicate with the inner cavity of the first cavity, thereby allowing the transmitted optical signal emitted by the optical emitting component 400 to enter the first cavity through the second connection hole 5131.
[0209] In some embodiments, the first housing 510 may include a fourth sidewall 514. One end of the fourth sidewall 514 may be connected to one end of the third sidewall 513. The other end of the fourth sidewall 514 may be connected to the other end of the first sidewall 511. The fourth sidewall 514 may be disposed opposite the second sidewall 512.
[0210] In some embodiments, the fourth sidewall 514 may have a fifth connection hole 5141. The fifth connection hole 5141 may traverse the fourth sidewall 514 so that the fifth connection hole 5141 can communicate with the inner cavity of the first cavity, thereby allowing the optical signal of the inner cavity of the first cavity to be incident on the optical receiving component connected to the fifth connection hole 5141.
[0211] In some embodiments, the first housing 510 may include a bottom plate 5161. The bottom plate 5161 may be used to support the first optical assembly 517. The bottom plate 5161 may be connected to the bottoms of the first side wall 511, the second side wall 512, the third side wall 513, and the fourth side wall 514, respectively. The first side wall 511, the second side wall 512, the third side wall 513, and the fourth side wall 514 are connected in sequence and are respectively connected to the bottom plate 5161 to form the first housing 510 with an opening at the top.
[0212] In some embodiments, the third sidewall 513 may include a first connecting wall 5132 . One end of the first connecting wall 5132 may be connected to the second sidewall 512 .
[0213] In some embodiments, the third sidewall 513 may include a first supporting wall 5133. The first supporting wall 5133 is closer to the first sidewall 511 than the first connecting wall 5132. The first supporting wall 5133 may be connected to the first connecting wall 5132. The first supporting wall 5133 is more recessed than the first connecting wall 5132 so that the first supporting wall 5133 supports the first cover plate 515.
[0214] In some embodiments, the fourth sidewall 514 may include a second connecting wall 5143. One end of the second connecting wall 5143 may be connected to the first connecting wall 5132. The other end of the second connecting wall 5143 may be connected to the first sidewall 511.
[0215] In some embodiments, the fourth sidewall 514 may include a second support wall 5144. One end of the second support wall 5144 may be connected to the first support wall 5133. The other end of the second support wall 5144 may be connected to the first sidewall 511. The second support wall 5144 may be connected to the second connecting wall 5143. The second support wall 5144 is more recessed than the second connecting wall 5143 so that the second support wall 5144 supports the first cover plate 515.
[0216] The first support wall 5133 and the second support wall 5144 can jointly support the first cover plate 515 to increase the contact area between the first cover plate 515 and the first shell 510 and improve the connection stability between the first cover plate 515 and the first shell 510 .
[0217] In some embodiments, the second supporting wall 5144 may include a first supporting portion 51441 . One end of the first supporting portion 51441 may be connected to the first supporting wall 5133 .
[0218] The diameter of the fifth connection hole 5141 is equal to the thickness of the second connection wall 5143. The second support wall 5144 protrudes relative to the second connection wall 5143, resulting in the diameter of the fifth connection hole 5141 being greater than the thickness of the second support wall 5144. Therefore, the first support portion 51441 may have an avoidance hole 5147. The avoidance hole 5147 may communicate with the fifth connection hole 5141 to avoid the fifth connection hole 5141.
[0219] In some embodiments, the second support wall 5144 may include a second support portion 51444. One end of the second support portion 51444 may be connected to the other end of the first support portion 51441. The width of the second support portion 51444 is smaller than the width of the first support portion 51441. That is, the vertical distance between the second support portion 51444 and the second sidewall 512 is greater than the vertical distance between the first support portion 51441 and the second sidewall 512, thereby providing space for accommodating the first optical assembly 517.
[0220] In some embodiments, the second supporting wall 5144 may include a third supporting portion 51445. One end of the third supporting portion 51445 may be connected to the other end of the second supporting portion 51444. The other end of the third supporting portion 51445 may be connected to the first sidewall 511.
[0221] In some embodiments, the second support wall 5144 may include a support member 51442. One end of the support member 51442 may be connected to a side surface of the first support portion 51441. The other end of the support member 51442 is not connected to the second sidewall 512 to avoid the first optical assembly 517. One side of the support member 51442 may not be connected to the third sidewall 513. The other side of the support member 51442 may not be connected to the first sidewall 511.
[0222] In some embodiments, the support member 51442 may have a first light hole 51443. The first light hole 51443 may penetrate the support member 51442, so that the optical signal can pass through the first light hole 514443.
[0223] The support member 51442 and the second support wall 5144 can be an integrally formed structure or two independent structural members.
[0224] In some embodiments, the first light-through hole 51443 may be arranged corresponding to the first connection hole 5111 , so that the optical signal passes through the first light-through hole 51443 and is incident on the first connection hole 5111 .
[0225] In some embodiments, the central axis of the first connection hole 5111 (as shown in FIG. 23 e ) is closer to the fourth side wall 514 than the central axis of the first side wall 511 (as shown in FIG. 23 f ).
[0226] In some embodiments, the fourth sidewall 514 may have a step 5142. The step 5142 may provide sufficient space for the connecting sleeve 710 to increase the contact area between the connecting sleeve 710 and the first sidewall 511, thereby improving the connection stability between the connecting sleeve 710 and the first sidewall 511.
[0227] One side of the step 5142 (the left side as shown in FIG. 23 ) is more recessed than the other side of the step 5142 (the right side as shown in FIG. 23 ). One side of the step 5142 has a fifth connection hole 5141, and a light receiving assembly can be disposed in the fifth connection hole 5141. The step 5142 can provide space for accommodating the light receiving assembly in the fifth connection hole 5141, thereby reducing the width of the light receiving component 500.
[0228] Figure 25 is an optical path diagram of a first optical assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 26 is an optical path diagram of another first optical assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 25 and 26, in some embodiments, the first optical assembly 517 may include a first lens 5171. The first lens 5171 is used to collimate / focus optical signals. For example, the received optical signals transmitted from the first cavity to the fiber optic adapter 700 are focused by the first lens 5171, and the optical signals transmitted from the fiber optic adapter 700 to the first cavity are collimated by the first lens 5171.
[0229] In some embodiments, the first optical assembly 517 may include a first filter 5173. The first filter 5173 may be located on one side of the first lens 5171, so that the first filter 5173 can reflect the received optical signal collimated by the first lens 5171.
[0230] The first filter 5173 can receive the emission light signal and transmit the emission light signal to the first lens 5171 .
[0231] In some embodiments, the first filter 5173 is tilted so that the received light signal can be reflected. For example, the tilt angle of the first filter 5173 is a first preset angle. The first preset angle can be 8° to 13°.
[0232] In some examples, the first preset angle may be 8° to 11°.
[0233] In some examples, the first preset angle may be 10° to 13°.
[0234] In some examples, the first preset angle may be 10° to 11°.
[0235] In some embodiments, the first optical assembly 517 may include a first reflector 5174. The first reflector 5174 may reflect the received optical signal. The first reflector 5174 may be located in the reflective optical path of the first optical filter 5173, thereby reflecting the received optical signal reflected by the first optical filter 5173 to the first reflector 5174.
[0236] In some embodiments, the first reflective sheet 5174 is tilted. For example, the tilt angle of the first reflective sheet 5174 is a second preset angle, which may be 32° to 37°.
[0237] In some examples, the second preset angle may be 32° to 35°.
[0238] In some examples, the second preset angle may be 34° to 37°.
[0239] In some examples, the second preset angle may be 34° to 35°.
[0240] As shown in Figures 25 and 26, in some embodiments, the first optical assembly 517 may include a second reflector 5175. The second reflector 5175 may reflect an optical signal incident on the second reflector 5175. The second reflector 5175 may be located on a reflective optical path of the first reflector 5174 to reflect the received optical signal reflected by the first reflector 5174 to the second reflector 5175.
[0241] In some embodiments, the second reflective sheet 5175 is tilted. For example, the tilt angle of the second reflective sheet 5175 is a third preset angle, which may be 45°.
[0242] The first preset angle, the second preset angle, and the third preset angle cooperate with each other so that the received light signal reflected by the second reflective plate 5175 can be emitted in parallel along the length direction of the light receiving component 500 .
[0243] As shown in Figures 25 and 26, in some embodiments, the first optical component 517 may include a wavelength splitting component 5172. The wavelength splitting component 5172 may be located in the reflected light path of the second reflector 5175, so that the wavelength splitting component 5172 can receive the received optical signal reflected by the second reflector 5175. The wavelength splitting component 5172 can split the received optical signal according to wavelength. For example, the wavelength splitting component 5172 splits a received optical signal including a fourth wavelength, a fifth wavelength, and a sixth wavelength into a fourth wavelength optical signal, a fifth wavelength optical signal, and a sixth wavelength optical signal according to wavelength.
[0244] In some embodiments, the first end of the wave splitter assembly 5172 has a light input, and the received optical signal including the fourth wavelength, the fifth wavelength and the sixth wavelength transmitted by the optical fiber adapter 700 is incident on the light input of the first end of the wave splitter assembly 5172 and is reflected by the second end of the wave splitter assembly 5172.
[0245] In some embodiments, the first end of the wave splitter component 5172 has a first light output, and the second end of the wave splitter component 5172 has a second light output and a third light output. The received optical signal is divided into a fourth wavelength optical signal, a fifth wavelength optical signal and a sixth wavelength optical signal by the wave splitter component 5172. The fourth wavelength optical signal is emitted through the first light output of the first end of the wave splitter component 5172, the fifth wavelength optical signal is emitted through the second light output of the second end of the wave splitter component 5172, and the sixth wavelength optical signal is emitted through the third light output of the second end of the wave splitter component 5172, so that the output direction of the optical signal transmitted through the first light output is opposite to the output direction of the optical signal transmitted through the second light output or the optical signal transmitted through the third light output, thereby improving the isolation.
[0246] As shown in Figures 22, 25 and 26, the first end of the wave splitting component 5172 can be set corresponding to the first end of the first shell 510, and the second end of the wave splitting component 5172 can be set corresponding to the second end of the first shell 510, so that the wave splitting component 5172 can be set along the length direction of the first shell 510.
[0247] The wave splitter assembly 5172 can be positioned along the length of the optical receiving component 500, that is, along the length of the first housing 510, thereby reducing the width of the first housing 510 and, in turn, the width of the optical receiving component 500. When the wave splitter assembly 5172 is positioned along the length of the first housing 510, the width of the first housing 510 required to accommodate the wave splitter assembly 5172 can be reduced to meet the requirement. Because the optical receiving component's receiving pins are relatively short, reducing the width of the first housing 510 also reduces the width of the optical receiving component 500.
[0248] In some embodiments, the first end of the wave splitter assembly 5172 and the second end of the wave splitter assembly 5172 are arranged in parallel so that the transmitted optical signal incident to the second end of the wave splitter assembly 5172 and the transmitted optical signal emitted through the first end of the wave splitter assembly 5172 are parallel to each other.
[0249] In some embodiments, the tilt angle of the first end of the wave splitting assembly 5172 is within a first preset range, such that a received optical signal including the fourth wavelength, the fifth wavelength, and the sixth wavelength incident on the wave splitting assembly 5172 can be split into a fourth wavelength optical signal, a fifth wavelength optical signal, and a sixth wavelength optical signal by the wave splitting assembly 5172. For example, the first preset range is 8°±1°.
[0250] FIG27 is a structural diagram of a wave splitter assembly provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG22 , FIG25 , and FIG27 , in some embodiments, the wave splitter assembly 5172 may include a substrate 51721 . The substrate 51721 is a block substrate. The first end surface of the substrate 51721 is disposed corresponding to the first end of the light receiving component 500 , and the second end surface of the substrate 51721 is disposed corresponding to the second end of the light receiving component 500 , such that the substrate 51721 is disposed along the length of the light receiving component 500 . The first end surface of the substrate 51721 may face the first connection hole 5111 . The second end surface of the substrate 51721 may face the second connection hole 5131 .
[0251] The first end surface of the substrate 51721 and the second end surface of the substrate 51721 are arranged in parallel, so that the optical signal incident on the substrate 51721 and the optical signal emitted through the substrate 51721 are parallel to each other.
[0252] The first end surface of the substrate 51721 may face the first connection hole 5111 , and the second end surface of the substrate 51721 may face the second connection hole 5131 , so that the substrate 51721 may be disposed along the length direction of the first shell 510 .
[0253] As shown in Figures 22, 25, and 27, in some embodiments, the wave splitting assembly 5172 may include a light entrance a. The light entrance a may be located at the first end surface of the substrate 51721. The light entrance a may be located on the reflected light path of the second reflector 5175, so that the light entrance a can receive the received optical signal reflected by the second reflector 5175.
[0254] In some embodiments, the light entrance point a may be a wave plate provided on the area of the first end surface of the substrate 51721 corresponding to the second reflector 5175. The wave plate allows the received light signal to pass through.
[0255] In some embodiments, the light entrance point a may be an anti-reflection film coated on an area of the first end surface of the substrate 51721 corresponding to the second reflector 5175. The anti-reflection film has a function of allowing the received light signal to pass through.
[0256] A side wall of the substrate 51721 close to the light entrance a rests on the second side wall 512 , and a gap exists between a side wall of the substrate 51721 away from the light entrance a and the fourth side wall 514 , so that the emitted light signal is transmitted through the gap between the substrate 51721 and the fourth side wall 514 .
[0257] The vertical distance between the side wall of the substrate 51721 away from the light incident point a and the second side wall 512 is smaller than the vertical distance between the first light hole 51443 and the second side wall 512 to prevent the emitted light signal from passing through the substrate 51721 .
[0258] As shown in Figures 22, 25, and 27, in some embodiments, the wave splitting assembly 5172 may include a first reflection portion b. The first reflection portion b may be located at the second end surface of the substrate 51721. The first reflection portion b may be disposed opposite the light incident portion a so that the first reflection portion b can reflect the received optical signal incident through the light incident portion a.
[0259] In some embodiments, the first reflection point b may be a wave plate provided on a region of the second end surface of the substrate 51721 that is opposite to the light incident point a. The wave plate does not allow the received light signal to pass through but allows the received light signal to be reflected.
[0260] In some embodiments, the first reflection point b may be a high-reflection film coated on an area of the second end surface of the substrate 51721 opposite to the light incident point a. The high-reflection film does not allow the received light signal to pass through, but allows the received light signal to be reflected.
[0261] As shown in Figures 22, 25, and 27, in some embodiments, the wave splitting assembly 5172 may include a first wave plate 51722. The first wave plate 51722 may be disposed on the first end surface of the substrate 51721. The first wave plate 51722 may be disposed adjacent to the light entrance a. The first wave plate 51722 may be connected to the light entrance a to reduce the size of the first end of the wave splitting assembly 5172. The first wave plate 51722 may be located in the reflected light path of the first reflection point b, so that the received light signal reflected by the first reflection point b can be incident on the first wave plate 51722.
[0262] In some embodiments, the first wave plate 51722 may be a bandpass filter that allows signals within a certain frequency range to pass through while blocking signals of other frequencies. For example, the first wave plate 51722 may allow a fourth wavelength optical signal to pass through while allowing other wavelength optical signals to reflect.
[0263] The first wave plate 51722 serves as the first light output point of the wave splitting assembly 5172 , so that the fourth wavelength optical signal in the wave splitting assembly 5172 is transmitted out through the first wave plate 51722 .
[0264] As shown in Figures 22, 25, and 27, in some embodiments, the wave splitting assembly 5172 may include a second wave plate 51723. The second wave plate 51723 may be disposed on the second end surface of the substrate 51721. The second wave plate 51723 may be disposed adjacent to the first reflection point b. The second wave plate 51723 may be located on the reflected light path of the first wave plate 51722 so that the received light signal reflected by the first wave plate 51722 can be incident on the second wave plate 51723.
[0265] In some embodiments, the second wave plate 51723 can be a bandpass filter that allows signals within a certain frequency range to pass through and blocks signals of other frequencies from passing through. For example, the second wave plate 51723 can allow a fifth wavelength optical signal to pass through and can also allow other wavelength optical signals to reflect.
[0266] The second wave plate 51723 serves as the second light output port of the wave splitting assembly 5172 , so that the fifth wavelength optical signal in the wave splitting assembly 5172 is transmitted out through the second wave plate 51723 .
[0267] In some embodiments, the wave splitting assembly 5172 may include a second reflection point c. The second reflection point c may be disposed adjacent to the first wave plate 51722, such that the first wave plate 51722 is located between the light incident point a and the second reflection point c. The second reflection point c may be located on the reflected light path of the second wave plate 51723, such that the second reflection point c can reflect the received light signal reflected by the second wave plate 51723.
[0268] In some embodiments, the second reflection location c may be a region of the first end surface of the substrate 51721 adjacent to the first wave plate 51722 where a wave plate is provided, which does not allow the received light signal to pass through but allows the received light signal to be reflected.
[0269] In some embodiments, the second reflection point c may be a high-reflection film coated on an area of the first end surface of the substrate 51721 adjacent to the first wave plate 51722. The high-reflection film does not allow the received light signal to pass through but allows the received light signal to be reflected.
[0270] In some embodiments, the wave splitting assembly 5172 may include a third wave plate 51724. The third wave plate 51724 is disposed on the second end surface of the substrate 51721. The third wave plate 51724 may be disposed adjacent to the second wave plate 51723. The third wave plate 51724 may be located on the reflected light path of the second reflection point c, so that the received light signal reflected by the second reflection point c can be incident on the third wave plate 51724.
[0271] In some embodiments, the third wave plate 51724 can be a bandpass filter that allows signals within a certain frequency range to pass through and blocks signals of other frequencies from passing through. For example, the third wave plate 51724 can allow a sixth wavelength optical signal to pass through and can also allow other wavelength optical signals to reflect.
[0272] The third wave plate 51724 serves as the third light output point of the wave splitting assembly 5172 , so that the sixth wavelength optical signal in the wave splitting assembly 5172 is transmitted out through the third wave plate 51724 .
[0273] In some embodiments, the second wave plate 51723 and the third wave plate 51724 can be connected to reduce the size of the second end surface of the substrate 51721.
[0274] FIG28 is a cross-sectional view of an optical transceiver component according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG24 and FIG28 , in some embodiments, a first lens 5171 may be disposed in the first connection hole 5111 to reduce the length of the first housing 510 .
[0275] In some embodiments, the first lens 5171 can be disposed in the accommodating cavity 516 .
[0276] In some embodiments, an isolator 518 may be disposed in the second connection hole 5131. The isolator 518 may allow the optical transmission signal emitted by the optical transmission component 400 to enter the optical reception component 500, while preventing the optical transmission signal entering the optical reception component 500 from returning to the optical transmission component 400.
[0277] In some embodiments, a first light receiving assembly 520 may be disposed in the third connection hole 5122 .
[0278] In some embodiments, a second light receiving assembly 530 may be disposed in the fourth connection hole 5121 .
[0279] In some embodiments, a third light receiving assembly 540 may be disposed in the fifth connection hole 5141 .
[0280] In some embodiments, the first optical assembly 517 may include a third reflector 5176. The third reflector 5176 may be located in the transmission light path of the first wave plate 51722, so that the third reflector 5176 can receive the fourth wavelength optical signal transmitted by the first wave plate 51722. The third reflector 5176 can reflect the received fourth wavelength optical signal. The third connection hole 5122 may be located in the reflection light path of the third reflector 5176, so that the first light receiving assembly 520 in the third connection hole 5122 can be located in the reflection light path of the third reflector 5176, thereby allowing the third reflector 5176 to reflect the fourth wavelength optical signal to the first light receiving assembly 520.
[0281] In some embodiments, the third reflector 5176 may include a reflective surface. The reflective surface may be located in the transmission light path of the first wave plate 51722, and the first light receiving assembly 520 may be located in the reflection light path of the reflective surface, so that the fourth wavelength optical signal transmitted through the first wave plate 51722 is reflected by the reflective surface to the first light receiving assembly 520.
[0282] In some embodiments, the inclination angle of the reflective surface of the third reflector 5176 is not 45°, so that the fourth wavelength optical signal is reflected by the reflective surface of the third reflector 5176 and then obliquely incident to the first optical receiving component 520, thereby reducing the fourth wavelength optical signal returning along the original path when it reaches the first optical receiving component 520.
[0283] In some embodiments, the third reflective plate 5176 may include an incident surface. The incident surface may be located between the first wave plate 51722 and the reflective surface. One end of the incident surface may be connected to one end of the reflective surface.
[0284] In some embodiments, the third reflective sheet 5176 may include an exit surface. The exit surface may be located between the reflective surface and the first light receiving assembly 520. One end of the exit surface may be connected to the other end of the reflective surface. The other end of the exit surface may be connected to the other end of the incident surface.
[0285] In some embodiments, a filter film is coated on the incident surface or the exit surface of the third reflector 5176 to filter out received optical signals of wavelengths other than the first wavelength, so that the fourth wavelength optical signal can be incident on the first optical receiving component 520 and prevent the fifth wavelength optical signal and the sixth wavelength optical signal from being incident on the first optical receiving component 520.
[0286] Alternatively, in some embodiments, a filter may be provided between the third reflector 5176 and the first wave plate 51722 or between the third reflector 5176 and the first optical receiving component 520 to filter out received optical signals of wavelengths other than the first wavelength.
[0287] The incident surface or the exit surface of the third reflector 5176 is coated with a filter film. Compared with the provision of a filter, the space occupied by the first optical component can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the space of the first housing.
[0288] The first filter 5173 and the first reflector 5174 are both located in the opposite direction of the reflected light path of the third reflector 5176 , and the first light receiving assembly 520 is located on the reflected light path of the third reflector 5176 to reduce the size of the light receiving component 500 .
[0289] In some embodiments, the first optical assembly 517 may include a beam splitter prism 5177. The beam splitter prism 5177 may include a first reflective surface 51771. The first reflective surface 51771 may be located in the transmission light path of the second wave plate 51723, so that the first reflective surface 51771 can receive the fifth wavelength optical signal transmitted by the second wave plate 51723. The fourth connection hole 5121 may be located in the reflection light path of the first reflective surface 51771, so that the second optical receiving assembly 530 in the fourth connection hole 5121 can be located in the reflection light path of the first reflective surface 51771, thereby allowing the first reflective surface 51771 to reflect the fifth wavelength optical signal to the second optical receiving assembly 530.
[0290] In some embodiments, the beam splitter 5177 may include a second reflective surface 51772. The second reflective surface 51772 may be located on the transmission light path of the third wave plate 51724, so that the second reflective surface 51772 can receive the sixth wavelength optical signal transmitted by the third wave plate 51724. The fifth connection hole 5141 may be located on the reflection light path of the second reflective surface 51772, so that the third optical receiving assembly 540 in the fifth connection hole 5141 can be located on the reflection light path of the second reflective surface 51772, thereby allowing the second reflective surface 51772 to reflect the sixth wavelength optical signal to the third optical receiving assembly 540.
[0291] The first reflecting surface 51771 of the beam splitter prism 5177 and the second reflecting surface 51772 of the beam splitter prism 5177 may be connected or not connected.
[0292] In some embodiments, the beam splitter prism 5177 may include a first incident surface. The first incident surface may be located between the first reflective surface 51771 and the second wave plate 51723. One end of the first incident surface may be connected to one end of the first reflective surface 51771.
[0293] In some embodiments, the beam splitter 5177 may include a first exit surface. The first exit surface may be located between the first reflective surface and the second light receiving assembly 530. One end of the first exit surface may be connected to the other end of the first reflective surface 51771. The other end of the first exit surface may be connected to the other end of the first incident surface.
[0294] In some embodiments, a filter film is coated on the first incident surface or the first exit surface to filter out received optical signals of wavelengths other than the second wavelength, so that the fifth wavelength optical signal can be incident on the second optical receiving component 530 and prevent the fourth wavelength optical signal and the sixth wavelength optical signal from being incident on the second optical receiving component 530.
[0295] Alternatively, in some embodiments, a filter may be provided between the beam splitter prism 5177 and the second wave plate 51723 or between the beam splitter prism 5177 and the second light receiving assembly 530 to filter out received light signals of wavelengths other than the second wavelength. As shown in FIG12 , a second filter 5179 is provided between the beam splitter prism 5177 and the second wave plate 51723. The second filter 5179 may filter out received light signals of wavelengths other than the second wavelength.
[0296] In some embodiments, the beam splitter prism 5177 may include a second incident surface. The second incident surface may be located between the second reflective surface 51772 and the second wave plate 51723. One end of the second incident surface may be connected to one end of the second reflective surface 51772.
[0297] In some embodiments, the beam splitter prism 5177 may include a second exit surface. The second exit surface may be located between the second reflective surface 51772 and the third light receiving assembly 540. One end of the second exit surface may be connected to the other end of the second reflective surface 51772. The other end of the second exit surface may be connected to the other end of the second incident surface.
[0298] In some embodiments, a filter film is coated on the second incident surface or the second exit surface to filter out received optical signals of wavelengths other than the third wavelength, so that the sixth wavelength optical signal can be incident on the third optical receiving component 540, and the fifth wavelength optical signal and the sixth wavelength optical signal are prevented from being incident on the third optical receiving component 540.
[0299] Alternatively, in some embodiments, a filter may be provided between the beam splitter 5177 and the third wave plate 51724, or between the beam splitter 5177 and the third light receiving assembly 540, to filter out received light signals having wavelengths other than the third wavelength. As shown in FIG11 , a third filter 5178 is provided between the beam splitter 5177 and the third wave plate 51724. The third filter 5178 may filter out received light signals having wavelengths other than the third wavelength.
[0300] As shown in Figures 24 and 28, a first filter 5173 may be provided on a surface of the support member 51442 facing the first sidewall 511. The transmitted light signal is transmitted through the first light hole 51443 of the support member 51442 to the first filter 5173, and then transmitted through the first filter 5173 to the first lens 5171. The received light signal is collimated by the first lens 5171, then incident on the first filter 5173, and then reflected by the first filter 5173.
[0301] Since the first filter 5173 is set at an angle, the transmitted light signal is incident on the first filter 5173 at an angle, and the transmitted light signal is refracted at both the light incident surface and the light exit surface of the first filter 5173, causing the central axis of the transmitted light signal at the light incident surface and the light exit surface of the first filter 5173 to be offset. Therefore, the central axis of the first connecting hole 5111 is offset relative to the central axis of the first light-transmitting hole 51443.
[0302] Because the first optical filter 5173 is disposed at an angle, in order to increase the stability of the connection between the first optical filter 5173 and the support member 51442, in some embodiments, the surface of the support member 51442 facing the first sidewall 511 can be disposed parallel to the first optical filter 5173. That is, the angle of inclination of the surface of the support member 51442 facing the first sidewall 511 is equal to the angle of inclination of the first optical filter 5173. For example, the angle of inclination of the surface of the support member 51442 facing the first sidewall 511 is a first predetermined angle.
[0303] As shown in Figures 24 and 28, in some embodiments, a first reflector 5174 may be provided on a side of the third support portion 51445 facing the support member 51442. The side surface of the third support portion 51445 may be tilted so that the first reflector 5174 is located in the reflected light path of the first filter 5173.
[0304] Because the first reflective sheet 5174 is tilted, in order to increase the connection stability between the first reflective sheet 5174 and the third support portion 51445, in some embodiments, the side of the third support portion 51445 facing the support member 51442 can be arranged parallel to the first reflective sheet 5174. That is, the tilt angle of the side of the third support portion 51445 facing the support member 51442 is equal to the tilt angle of the first reflective sheet 5174. For example, the tilt angle of the side of the third support portion 51445 facing the support member 51442 is a second predetermined angle.
[0305] In some embodiments, the receiving rate of the first optical receiving component 520 is greater than the receiving rates of the second optical receiving component 530 and the third optical receiving component 540, resulting in the receiving photosensitive surface of the first optical receiving component 520 being smaller than the receiving photosensitive surfaces of the second optical receiving component 530 and the third optical receiving component 540, so that the transmission path of the fourth wavelength optical signal received by the first optical receiving component 520 is the shortest, and the optical receiving chip of the first optical receiving component 520 can receive the fourth wavelength optical signal with high coupling efficiency.
[0306] As shown in Figures 25, 26, and 28, the optical paths are as follows:
[0307] The transmitted optical signal is transmitted through the first filter 5173 and then focused by the first lens 5171 and coupled to the optical fiber adapter 700 .
[0308] The received optical signal is first collimated by the first lens 5171, then sequentially reflected by the first filter 5173, the first reflector 5174, and the second reflector 5175 before entering the light entrance point a of the wave splitter 5172. It is then reflected again by the first reflector b. The fourth wavelength signal in the received optical signal is transmitted through the first wave plate 51722 and finally reflected by the third reflector 5176.
[0309] The fifth wavelength optical signal in the received optical signal is reflected by the first wave plate 51722 , transmitted through the second wave plate 51723 , and then reflected by the first reflection surface 51771 of the beam splitter prism 5177 .
[0310] The fifth wavelength optical signal in the received optical signal is reflected by the first wave plate 51722 , the second wave plate 51723 and the second reflection point c in sequence, then transmitted through the third wave plate 51724 and then reflected by the second reflection surface 51772 of the beam splitter 5177 .
[0311] Figure 29 is an exploded view of an optical transceiver component and a circuit board according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 29, in some embodiments, the circuit board 300 includes a first circuit board 301 and a second circuit board 302. The first circuit board 301 is a rigid circuit board, and the second circuit board 302 is a flexible circuit board. The optical emitting component 400 and the optical receiving component 500 are both electrically connected to the first circuit board 301 via the second circuit board 302.
[0312] 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 transmitting component 400. The optical signal generated by the optical transmitting 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 transmitting component 400 share the optical fiber adapter 700. In addition, the uplink optical signal and the downlink optical signal of the optical module share the optical fiber 101.
[0313] In some embodiments, the optical transmitting component 400 can generate optical signals of multiple wavelengths, and the optical signals of multiple wavelengths can be combined into a single optical signal. The optical receiving component 500 can receive optical signals including multiple wavelengths. For example, the optical transmitting component 400 generates optical signals of three wavelengths, and the optical receiving component 500 receives optical signals of three wavelengths.
[0314] FIG30 is an exploded view of an optical transceiver assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG30 , the optical receiving assembly 500 includes a transceiver cavity 510 and multiple optical receiving assemblies, each of which is connected to the transceiver cavity 510. For example, the multiple optical receiving assemblies include a first optical receiving assembly 520, a second optical receiving assembly 530, and a third optical receiving assembly 540.
[0315] In some embodiments, the optical emitting component 400 utilizes a micro-optical package, and the first optical receiving assembly 520, the second optical receiving assembly 530, and the third optical receiving assembly 540 utilize a coaxial package. Exemplarily, the receiving optical axes of the first optical receiving assembly 520, the second optical receiving assembly 530, and the third optical receiving assembly 540 are parallel to each other. That is, the first optical receiving assembly 520, the second optical receiving assembly 530, and the third optical receiving assembly 540 each include a receiving tube cap and a receiving tube socket. The receiving tube cap is mounted on the receiving tube socket to form a receiving cavity. A light receiving chip is disposed within the receiving cavity. The light receiving chip receives optical signals and converts them into electrical signals.
[0316] The receiver socket is also provided with a receiver pin, one end of which is connected to the first circuit board 301 via the second circuit board 302, thereby electrically connecting the receiver pin and the first circuit board 301. The receiver pin extends upward from the bottom of the receiver socket until it extends beyond the top of the receiver socket, where it is wired to the pad where the optical receiver chip is located, thereby electrically connecting the receiver pin and the optical receiver chip, thereby transmitting the electrical signal to the first circuit board 301 through the receiver pin.

Figure 32 is an exploded view of a fiber optic adapter and a transceiver cavity according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 33 is a cross-sectional view of a fiber optic adapter and a transceiver cavity according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 31, 32, and 33, in some embodiments, a fiber optic adapter 700 is disposed on a first side of a transceiver cavity 510. One end of the fiber optic adapter 700 is used to connect to an optical fiber, and the other end of the fiber optic adapter 700 communicates with the transceiver cavity 510, enabling optical connection of the transceiver cavity 510 to the optical fiber through the fiber optic adapter 700. For example, a first connection hole 5111 is disposed on one side of the transceiver cavity 510, and a connecting sleeve 710 is disposed on the other end of the fiber optic adapter 700. One end of the connecting sleeve 710 is embedded with the fiber optic adapter 700, and the other end of the connecting sleeve 710 connects to the transceiver cavity 510, connecting the fiber optic adapter 700 to the first connection hole 5111.

The fourth lens 5174 disposed within the first connection hole 5111 saves space within the transceiver cavity 510 that would otherwise be occupied by the fourth lens 5174, helping to reduce the size of the optical receiving component 500 and facilitating assembly of the optical receiving component 500 within the optical module.

[0333] The third storage groove 5164 is communicated with the accommodating cavity body 5163, the second accommodating cavity 5165 and the third accommodating cavity 5166 respectively, so that the first accommodating cavity, the second accommodating cavity 5165 and the third accommodating cavity 5166 are communicated with each other.
[0334] In some embodiments, the first end of the placement piece 5169 is connected to the accommodating cavity body 5163, and the second end of the placement piece 5169 is connected to the inner side wall of the second sub-transceiver side panel 5134 of the third transceiver side panel 513. The placement piece 5169 is more recessed relative to the second sub-transceiver side panel 5134 to facilitate the mounting of optical components.
[0335] In some embodiments, a first storage groove 5161 is provided on the storage member 5169. The first storage groove 5161 is located between the accommodating cavity body 5163 and the avoidance gap 5135. The first storage groove 5161 is recessed relative to the storage member 5169 to facilitate the placement of optical components.
[0336] In some embodiments, the first storage slot 5161 is located between the accommodating cavity body 5163 and the second sub-transceiver side plate 5134 of the third transceiver side plate 513, the first port of the first storage slot 5161 is connected to the fifth connecting hole 5131, and the second port of the first storage slot 5161 is located at the notch of the first support surface 5167, so that the second port of the first storage slot 5161 is connected to the accommodating cavity body 5163, so that the optical signal incident through the fifth connecting hole 5131 can be transmitted along the first storage slot 5161 to the accommodating cavity body 5163.
[0337] In some embodiments, the central axes of the first port of the first storage slot 5161 and the second port of the first storage slot 5161 do not coincide with each other, that is, the first port of the first storage slot 5161 and the second port of the first storage slot 5161 do not coincide with each other on the Y axis.
[0338] In some embodiments, the accommodating cavity body 5163 includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The first sidewall of the accommodating cavity body 5163 is disposed opposite the second sidewall of the accommodating cavity body 5163. The second sidewall of the accommodating cavity body 5163 is connected to the first end of the storage member 5169. The second sidewall of the accommodating cavity body 5163 includes a first support surface 5167. The first support surface 5167 is the connection surface between the first storage slot 5161 and the accommodating cavity body 5163. The first support surface 5167 is used to support a portion of the second optical assembly. For example, the first support surface 5167 is an inclined surface, sloping from one end to the other end along the inner sidewall of the third transceiver side plate 513.

[0340] FIG36 is an optical path diagram of a second optical assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG36 , in some embodiments, the second optical assembly 517 includes a first displacement prism 5171, a first optical filter 5172, a second displacement prism 5173, a fourth lens 5174, a first reflector 5175, a wave splitter 5176, a second optical filter 5177, a third displacement prism 5178, and a fourth displacement prism 5179. The fourth lens 5174 is located in the first connecting hole 5111, and the first displacement prism 5171, the first optical filter 5172, the second displacement prism 5173, the first reflector 5175, the wave splitter 5176, the second optical filter 5177, the third displacement prism 5178, and the fourth displacement prism 5179 are located in the accommodating cavity 516.
[0341] The first port of the first storage slot 5161 and the second port of the first storage slot 5161 do not overlap on the Y-axis. To adjust the position of the optical signal on the Y-axis so that the optical signal propagates from the first port of the first storage slot 5161 to the second port of the first storage slot 5161, in some embodiments, a first displacement prism 5171 is disposed within the first storage slot 5161. The optical signal enters the first displacement prism 5171 through the incident surface of the first displacement prism 5171. The optical signal is reflected from the first reflection surface of the first displacement prism 5171 to the second reflection surface of the first displacement prism 5171. The optical signal is then reflected from the second reflection surface of the first displacement prism 5171 to the exit surface of the first displacement prism 5171, and then exits through the exit surface of the first displacement prism 5171.
[0342] In some embodiments, a first optical filter 5172 is disposed on the first supporting surface 5167, covering the second port of the first storage slot 5161. The signal light output by the light emitting component 400 is transmitted to the first optical filter 5172. The first optical filter 5172 is configured to transmit the optical signal output by the light emitting component 400 and transmit it to the second displacement prism 5173. The first optical filter 5172 is also configured to reflect the optical signal output from the second displacement prism 5173 to the first reflector 5175. Exemplarily, the first surface of the first optical filter 5172 faces the second displacement prism 5173, and the second surface of the first filter 5172 rests on the first supporting surface 5167.
[0343] In some embodiments, the second displacement prism 5173 is used to adjust the position of the optical signal in the Y direction of the transceiver housing to accommodate the optical module's requirements for the assembly position of the fiber optic adapter 700 and to provide sufficient space for the installation of the first reflector 5175 and the first filter 5172. The optical signal enters the second displacement prism 5173 through its incident surface. The optical signal is reflected from its first reflective surface to its second reflective surface. The optical signal is then reflected from its second reflective surface to its exit surface, where it is emitted.
[0344] For transmitted optical signals, the incident surface of the second displacement prism 5173 refers to the side of the second displacement prism 5173 facing the first optical filter 5172, and the exit surface of the second displacement prism 5173 refers to the side of the second displacement prism 5173 facing the fourth lens 5174. For received optical signals, the incident surface of the second displacement prism 5173 refers to the side of the second displacement prism 5173 facing the fourth lens 5174, and the exit surface of the second displacement prism 5173 refers to the side of the second displacement prism 5173 facing the first optical filter 5172.
[0345] In some embodiments, the second displacement prism 5173 is located at the edge of the first connection hole 5111, so that the optical signal passing through the first connection hole 5111 is transmitted to the second displacement prism 5173, and the optical signal output by the second displacement prism 5173 is transmitted to the first connection hole 5111. Exemplarily, the first side surface of the second displacement prism 5173 abuts against the first side wall of the accommodating cavity body 5163 (i.e., the inner side wall of the first transceiver side plate 511), or the first side surface of the second displacement prism 5173 is sealedly connected to the first connection hole 5111.
[0346] In some embodiments, the first side surface of the second displacement prism 5173 is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the central axis of the first connecting hole 5111, so that the optical signal incident on the first side surface of the second displacement prism 5173 through the first connecting hole 5111 is transmitted perpendicularly or approximately perpendicularly to the first side surface of the second displacement prism 5173, and the optical signal output from the first side surface of the second displacement prism 5173 can be transmitted to the first connecting hole 5111 along the central axis of the first connecting hole 5111.
[0347] In some embodiments, a first reflector 5175 is disposed within the second storage slot 5162 and is configured to reflect the optical signal reflected by the first filter 5172 to the wave splitter 5176. To facilitate the first reflector 5175 reflecting the optical signal to the wave splitter 5176, the first reflector 5175 is disposed at an angle within the first accommodating cavity, that is, the reflective surface of the first reflector 5175 is non-parallel to the second side surface of the second displacement prism 5173 and the angle between the two is less than 90°.
[0348] In some embodiments, a side wall of the second storage slot 5162 is the inner side wall of the fourth transceiver side panel 514. A first support member 5141 is attached to the inner side wall of the fourth transceiver side panel 514. The first side wall of the first support member 5141 is attached parallel to the inner side wall of the fourth transceiver side panel 514. The second side wall of the first support member 5141 is perpendicular to the first side wall of the first support member 5141. The third side wall of the first support member 5141 is connected to the first side wall and the second side wall of the first support member 5141 at both ends, respectively. The third side wall of the first support member 5141 is an inclined surface, i.e., one end of the third side wall of the first support member 5141 is closer to the first side wall of the first support member 5141 than the other end of the third side wall of the first support member 5141. For example, a first reflector 5175 is attached to the third side wall of the first support member 5141.
[0349] In some embodiments, the side of the splitter 5176 rests on the second support surface 5168 , and the side of the splitter 5176 contacts the positioning notch 51681 , and the positioning notch 51681 facilitates the positioning and assembly of the splitter 5176 .
[0350] In some embodiments, a wave splitter 5176 is disposed at the bottom of the housing cavity body 5163, with the light incident side of the wave splitter 5176 facing the first reflector 5175 and the light splitting output side of the wave splitter 5176 facing the second transceiver side panel 512. The wave splitter 5176 is configured to split the optical signal reflected by the first reflector 5175 according to wavelength. Exemplarily, the wave splitter 5176 splits a beam of optical signals including a fourth wavelength, a fifth wavelength, and a sixth wavelength into three beams according to wavelength.
[0351] In some embodiments, a third displacement prism 5178 is disposed in the second accommodating cavity 5165, and the fourth wavelength optical signal output by the wave splitter 5176 is transmitted to the third displacement prism 5178. A fourth displacement prism 5179 is disposed in the third accommodating cavity 5166, and the sixth wavelength optical signal output by the wave splitter 5176 is transmitted to the fourth displacement prism 5179. The third displacement prism 5178 and the fourth displacement prism 5179 are used to adjust the position of the optical signal in the X direction of the transceiver housing, so that the optical signal split by the wave splitter 5176 can be transmitted to the corresponding first optical receiving assembly 520, second optical receiving assembly 530, and third optical receiving assembly 540.
[0352] In some embodiments, multiple second filters are disposed within the second and third accommodating cavities 5165 and 5166, such as a second filter disposed at the output end of the third displacement prism 5178 and a second filter disposed at the output end of the fourth displacement prism 5179. The second filters are used to filter the optical signal before it enters the corresponding optical receiving component, reducing noise in the corresponding wavelength optical signal and ensuring the quality of optical signal reception. For example, a second filter 5177 is disposed within the third storage slot 5164 and is located at the end of the third connecting hole 5122. The second filter 5177 is located at the light input front end of the second optical receiving assembly 530. The second filter 5177 is used to filter out noise in the optical signal about to enter the second optical receiving assembly 530, thereby improving the quality of the light entering the second optical receiving assembly 530.
[0353] As shown in Figure 12, the emission light signal output by the light emitting component 400 is first adjusted in position in the Y direction by the first displacement prism 5171 and then incident on the first filter 5172, then incident on the second displacement prism 5173 through the first filter 5172, and then adjusted in position in the Y direction by the second displacement prism 5173 and incident on the fourth lens 5174, and finally converged by the fourth lens 5174.
[0354] A beam of received optical signals including the fourth wavelength, the fifth wavelength and the sixth wavelength is first collimated by the fourth lens 5174 and then transmitted to the second displacement prism 5173. Then, the position in the Y direction is adjusted by the second displacement prism 5173 and then incident on the first filter 5172. Then, the received optical signals are reflected by the first filter 5172 again and transmitted to the first reflector 5175. Then, the received optical signals are reflected by the first reflector 5175 and transmitted to the wavelength splitter 5176. 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 splitter 5176.
[0355] The light signal is reflected by the first reflection surface of the second displacement prism 5173 to the second reflection surface of the second displacement prism 5173 , and then reflected by the second reflection surface of the second displacement prism 5173 to the exit surface of the second displacement prism 5173 , and then emitted through the exit surface of the second displacement prism 5173 .
[0356] The fourth wavelength optical signal is transmitted to the incident surface of the third displacement prism 5178. The optical signal passes through the incident surface of the third displacement prism 5178 and is incident on the first reflection surface of the third displacement prism 5178. The optical signal is reflected from the first reflection surface of the third displacement prism 5178 to the second reflection surface of the third displacement prism 5178. The optical signal is reflected from the second reflection surface of the third displacement prism 5178 to the exit surface of the third displacement prism 5178. The optical signal is emitted from the exit surface of the third displacement prism 5178 to the first light receiving component 520. The fifth wavelength optical signal passes through the second filter 5177 and is transmitted to the second light receiving component 530. The sixth wavelength optical signal is transmitted to the incident surface of the fourth displacement prism 5179. The optical signal passes through the incident surface of the fourth displacement prism 5179 and is incident on the first reflection surface of the fourth displacement prism 5179. The optical signal is reflected by the first reflection surface of the fourth displacement prism 5179 to the second reflection surface of the fourth displacement prism 5179. The optical signal is reflected by the second reflection surface of the fourth displacement prism 5179 to the exit surface of the fourth displacement prism 5179. The optical signal is emitted through the exit surface of the fourth displacement prism 5179 to the third light receiving component 540.
[0357] The fourth wavelength optical signal is transmitted to the first optical receiving component 520, the fifth wavelength optical signal is transmitted to the second optical receiving component 530, and the sixth wavelength optical signal is transmitted to the third optical receiving component 540. Of course, in some embodiments, the optical signal transmitted to the first optical receiving component 520 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 530 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 540 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.
[0358] In some embodiments, the wavelength of the fourth wavelength optical signal is smaller than the wavelength of the fifth wavelength optical signal, and the wavelength of the fifth wavelength optical signal is smaller than the wavelength of the sixth wavelength optical signal. For example, the wavelength range of the fourth wavelength optical signal received by the first optical receiving component 520 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 received by the second optical receiving component 530 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 received by the third optical receiving component 540 is 1290-1330 nm, such as the wavelength of the sixth wavelength optical signal is 1310 nm.
[0359] The first optical receiving assembly 520, the second optical receiving assembly 530, and the third optical receiving assembly 540 each include a photodetector, which is used to receive optical signals and convert them into electrical signals. In some embodiments, the receiving rate of the photodetector in the second optical receiving assembly 530 is greater than the receiving rate of the photodetector in the first optical receiving assembly 520, and the receiving rate of the photodetector in the second optical receiving assembly 530 is greater than the receiving rate of the photodetector in the third optical receiving assembly 540. This ensures that the optical path of the fifth wavelength optical signal with the highest transmission rate from the output of the demultiplexer 5176 to the photodetector is relatively short and simple, allowing the photodetector in the second optical receiving assembly 530 to receive the optical signal with high coupling efficiency. For example, the receiving rate of the photodetector in the first optical receiving assembly 520 is 10G, the receiving rate of the photodetector in the second optical receiving assembly 530 is 50G, and the receiving rate of the photodetector in the third optical receiving assembly 540 is 2.5G.

[0366] Figure 38 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a light emitting component provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and Figure 39 is an exploded schematic diagram of a light emitting component provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 38 and 39, 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 to form 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. The second housing 410 can be a one-piece metal housing.
[0367] In some embodiments, the first sidewall 412 is located at one end of the second housing 410. A first connection hole 4121 is provided on the first sidewall 412. The first connection hole 4121 communicates with the second inner cavity and serves as a light outlet for the second cavity. The first connection hole 4121 connects to the first housing 510, allowing the second housing 410 to communicate with the inner cavity of the first housing 510 through the first connection hole 4121. For example, a boss 4122 is provided on the outer side of the first sidewall 412. One end of the first connection hole 4121 extends through the boss 4122, and the end of the connector 5101 is embedded with the connection boss 4122.
[0368] In some embodiments, two rows of pins are provided on each of the third sidewall 414 and the fourth sidewall 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 closest 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.
[0369] In some embodiments, first laser assembly 440 is located on the sides of second sidewall 413 and third sidewall 414; second laser assembly 450 and third laser assembly 460 are located on the side of fourth sidewall 415, with third laser assembly 460 located on the side of second laser assembly 450 away from third sidewall 414, and third laser assembly 460 located on the side of first sidewall 412. This allows first laser assembly 440, second laser assembly 450, and third laser assembly 460 to be distributed on the sides of two adjacent sidewalls of second housing 410. This arrangement results in a triangular distribution of first laser assembly 440, second laser assembly 450, and third laser assembly 460, rather than being arranged in a row, to reduce the packaging volume of optical emitting component 400. For example, first laser assembly 440 generates an optical signal of a first wavelength, second laser assembly 450 generates an optical signal of a second wavelength, and third laser assembly 460 generates an optical signal of a third wavelength.
[0370] 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.

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.
[0371] 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, etc.

The first filter 416 and the second filter 417 are disposed side by side. The first filter 416 and the second 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 first connection hole 4121. Exemplarily, the second filter 417 and the first filter 416 transmit the first wavelength optical signal, the second filter 417 reflects the second wavelength optical signal, the first filter 416 transmits the second wavelength optical signal, and the first filter 416 reflects the third wavelength optical signal.
[0373] In some embodiments, the first filter 416 and the second filter 417 are arranged on the side where the first side wall 412 and the second side wall 413 are connected, so that the first filter 416, the second filter 417 and the first laser assembly 440 are arranged compactly, which facilitates controlling the length direction of the second shell 410.
[0374] In some embodiments, a first optical filter 416 is disposed at the intersection of the output optical paths of the first laser assembly 440 and the third laser assembly 460, and a second optical filter 417 is disposed at the intersection of the output optical paths of the first laser assembly 440 and the second laser assembly 450. The first laser assembly 440 is located on the transmissive side of the second optical filter 417, the second laser assembly 450 is located on the reflective side of the second optical filter 417, and the third laser assembly 460 is located on the reflective side of the first optical filter 416. Exemplarily, the first optical filter 416 includes a first optical surface and a second optical surface, which are primary optical surfaces of the first optical filter 416.

The mounting bracket 470 is disposed on the side of the first connection hole 4121 and is fixed within the second housing 410. The mounting bracket 470 supports and connects the first optical filter 416 and the second optical filter 417. The first optical filter 416 and the second optical filter 417 are fixed within the second housing 410 via the mounting bracket 470, facilitating the fixing of the first optical filter 416 and the second optical filter 417 within the second housing 410.
[0376] 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 first filter 416 or the second filter 417.

The transfer pad 4837 facilitates the connection between the temperature sensor 4836 and the RTH pin 4314, thereby reducing the risk of heat being transferred to the RTH pin 4314 through the wire bonding when the temperature sensor 4836 is directly connected to the RTH pin 4314, which could cause the temperature sensor 4836 to detect inaccurate temperature in the second cavity.
[0396] In some embodiments, the inner side of the third sidewall 414 includes a first side surface 4141, a second side surface 4142, a first stepped surface 4143, and a second stepped surface 4144. The first side surface 4141 is connected to the first stepped surface 4143, one end of the second stepped surface 4144 is connected to the first side surface 4141, and the other end of the second stepped surface 4144 is connected to the second side surface 4142. The first stepped surface 4143 is closer to the bottom plate 411 than the second stepped surface 4144. That is, the height of the first stepped surface 4143 in the second housing 410 is lower than the height of the second stepped surface 4144 in the second housing 410.
[0397] The first stepped surface 4143 supports and connects the first adapter plate 481 and the second adapter plate 482. One end of the first high-frequency pin 4301 and one end of the second high-frequency pin 4305 each pass through the first side surface 4141. One end of the first high-frequency pin 4301 extends above the first adapter plate 481, while one end of the second high-frequency pin 4305 extends to the second adapter plate 482. One end of the RTH pin 4314 passes through the first side surface 4141, while one end of the first SOA pin 4302, one end of the first LD pin 4303, one end of the first TEC pin 4312, and one end of the second TEC pin 4313 each pass through the second side surface 4142. The second ground pin 4308 is located between the first high-frequency pin 4301 and the second high-frequency pin 4305. The first ground pin 4304 is located on the side of the first high-frequency pin 4301 away from the second high-frequency pin 4305.
[0398] In some embodiments, the pins extending through the first side surface 4141 form a first row of pins 430a, while the pins extending through the second side surface 4142 form a second row of pins 430b. Specifically, the pins disposed on the third side wall 414 are arranged in two rows. The pins in the first row 430a and the pins in the second row 430b are staggered to facilitate pin bonding and adaptability to flexible printed circuit boards, while also reducing the risk of air leakage caused by deformation of the insulating layer securing the pins.
[0399] In some embodiments, the MPD pin 4311 and the second SOA pin 4306 are located in a row, and the second LD pin 4307 , the third LD pin 4309 , and the fourth LD pin 4310 are located in a row.
[0400] In some embodiments, the first connection hole 4121 is a stepped through hole that gradually becomes smaller from one side of the boss 4122 to the inside of the second housing 410. A sealing window 4123 is provided in the first connection hole 4121 at the boss 4122 to seal the first connection hole 4121.

As shown in FIG28 , the first wavelength optical signal generated by the first laser assembly 440 is transmitted to the second lens 4181 , collimated by the second lens 4181 , and then transmitted to the second filter 417 , transmitted through the second filter 417 to the first filter 416 , and then transmitted through the first filter 416 to the first connection hole 4121 ; the second wavelength optical signal generated by the second laser assembly 450 is transmitted to the third lens 4182 , collimated by the third lens 4182 , and then transmitted to the second filter 417 , reflected by the second filter 417 and transmitted to the first filter 416 , and then transmitted through the first filter 416 to the first connection hole 4121 ; the third wavelength optical signal generated by the third laser assembly 460 is transmitted to the fourth lens 4183 , collimated by the fourth lens 4183 , and then transmitted to the first filter 416 , and then reflected by the first filter 416 and transmitted to the first connection hole 4121 . The first optical filter 416 and the second optical filter 417 allow the first wavelength optical signal, the second wavelength optical signal, and the third wavelength optical signal to share a common optical path when outputting from the second housing 410 .
[0402] Figure 47 illustrates an assembly diagram of an optical transceiver component and a fiber optic adapter from another perspective, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 48 illustrates a structural diagram of an optical transmitting component, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 47 , in some embodiments, the optical transmitting component 400 may include a second cavity. The second cavity may be connected to the optical receiving component 500 so that the transmitted optical signal emitted by the optical transmitting component 400 can be incident on the optical receiving component 500.
[0403] As shown in FIG. 47 and FIG. 48 , in some embodiments, the second cavity may include a second shell 410 .
[0404] As shown in Figures 47 and 48, in some embodiments, the second cavity may include a second cover plate 415. The second cover plate 415 may be attached to the second housing 410 to form the second cavity. A second optical assembly 430 may be disposed within the second cavity. The second optical assembly 430 may transmit at least one optical signal. For example, the second optical assembly 430 may transmit an optical signal having a first wavelength, an optical signal having a second wavelength, and an optical signal having a third wavelength.
[0405] During the assembly process, the second optical assembly 430 is first fixed in the second housing 410 , and then the second cover 415 is covered on the second housing 410 to form a second cavity.
[0406] As shown in FIG47 , the openings of the first housing 510 and the second housing 410 face opposite directions. For example, the opening of the first housing 510 faces the upper housing 201 , and the opening of the second housing 410 faces the lower housing 202 .
[0407] In some embodiments, the openings of the first housing 510 and the second housing 410 face the same direction. For example, the openings of the first housing 510 and the second housing 410 both face the upper housing 201 .
[0408] Figure 49 is an exploded view of a second housing and electrical connector according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 48 and 49, in some embodiments, the second housing 410 has a notch 417. An electrical connector 420 can be positioned in the notch 417, allowing one end of the electrical connector 420 to connect to the second optical assembly 430, thereby enabling electrical signal transmission between the electrical connector 420 and the second optical assembly 430. The other end of the electrical connector 420 can be connected to the circuit board 300, thereby enabling electrical signal transmission between the circuit board 300 and the electrical connector 420.
[0409] A notch 417 is formed in the middle portion of the side wall of the second housing 410 . The notch 417 does not extend beyond the top and bottom surfaces of the side wall of the second housing 410 , so that the notch 417 is not connected to the opening of the second housing 410 .
[0410] In some embodiments, the notch 417 does not extend beyond the bottom surface of the sidewall of the second shell 410 , but extends beyond the top surface of the sidewall of the second shell 410 , so that the notch 417 communicates with the opening of the second shell 410 .
[0411] In some embodiments, the second housing 410 may include a bottom plate 416 , which may be used to support the second optical assembly 430 .
[0412] In some embodiments, the second housing 410 may include a first sidewall 411. The bottom of the first sidewall 411 may be connected to the bottom plate 416. The first sidewall 411 may be connected to the light receiving component 500. The first sidewall 411 may have a sixth connection hole 4111. The sixth connection hole 4111 may pass through the first sidewall 411. The sixth connection hole 4111 may communicate with the inner cavity of the second cavity, thereby allowing the transmission light signal emitted by the light emitting component 400 to be transmitted to the light receiving component 500 through the sixth connection hole 4111.
[0413] In some embodiments, the second housing 410 may include a second sidewall 412. A bottom of the second sidewall 412 may be connected to the bottom plate 416. One end of the second sidewall 412 may be connected to one end of the first sidewall 411.
[0414] In some embodiments, the second housing 410 may include a third sidewall 413. The bottom of the third sidewall 413 may be connected to the bottom plate. One end of the third sidewall 413 may be connected to the other end of the second sidewall 412. The third sidewall 413 is disposed opposite to the first sidewall 411.
[0415] In some embodiments, the second housing 410 may include a fourth sidewall 414. The bottom of the fourth sidewall 414 may be connected to the bottom plate.

The fourth sidewall 414 may be disposed opposite the second sidewall 412.
[0416] The first side wall 411 , the second side wall 412 , the third side wall 413 and the fourth side wall 414 are sequentially connected and respectively connected to the bottom plate 416 to form a second housing 410 having an opening.
[0417] Figure 50 is an optical path diagram of a second optical assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 51 is an optical path diagram of another second optical assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 50 and 51, in some embodiments, second optical assembly 430 may include a laser chipset 431. Laser chipset 431 may be connected to electrical connector 420 so that laser chipset 431 emits an optical signal based on an electrical signal provided by electrical connector 420.
[0418] In some embodiments, the laser chip group 431 may include a first laser chip 4311 . The first laser chip 4311 is connected to the electrical connector 420 , so that the first laser chip 4311 emits a first wavelength optical signal according to an electrical signal provided by the electrical connector 420 .
[0419] Because the output optical power of the first wavelength optical signal is greater than that of the second wavelength optical signal and the third wavelength optical signal, the first laser chip 4311 may include a distributed feedback laser (DFB), an electro-absorption modulator (EAM), and a semiconductor amplifier (SOA). The DFB emits light of the first wavelength, the EAM modulates the first wavelength light to obtain a first wavelength optical signal, and the SOA amplifies the first wavelength optical signal so that the output optical power of the first wavelength optical signal meets the requirement.
[0420] The presence of the SOA causes the first laser chip 4311 to be tilted. While tilted, the direction of the first wavelength optical signal output by the first laser chip 4311 is parallel to the length of the second housing 410. This reduces reflections of the optical signal at the end face of the output port of the first laser chip 4311, effectively preventing reflected optical signals from entering the first laser chip 4311 and interfering with its light emission.
[0421] In some embodiments, the laser chip set 431 may include a second laser chip 4312 . The second laser chip 4312 is connected to the electrical connector 420 , so that the second laser chip 4312 emits a second wavelength optical signal according to an electrical signal provided by the electrical connector 420 .
[0422] The second wavelength optical signal has a wavelength of 1480-1500 nm. This wavelength is within the low-dispersion region of the optical fiber, so the dispersion caused by chirp has minimal impact on the signal. The chirp effect of the DFB does not significantly affect signal quality. Therefore, the second laser chip 4312 is a directly modulated laser (DML), also known as a DFB. The circuit board 300 provides a drive signal via the electrical connector 420, causing the DFB to emit the second wavelength optical signal.
[0423] In some embodiments, the laser chip set 431 may include a third laser chip 4313 . The third laser chip 4313 is connected to the electrical connector 420 , so that the third laser chip 4313 emits a third wavelength optical signal according to an electrical signal provided by the electrical connector 420 .
[0424] The third wavelength optical signal has a wavelength of 1575-1580 nm. This wavelength falls within the high-dispersion region of the optical fiber, where chirp-induced dispersion significantly impacts the signal. Using an externally modulated laser (EML) can mitigate the chirp effect, thereby reducing the impact of dispersion on the signal and ensuring high-quality signal transmission. Therefore, the third laser chip 4313 is an EML. The EML includes a DFB and an EAM. The circuit board 300 provides a first drive signal and a second drive signal via the electrical connector 420. The first drive signal causes the DFB to emit light at the third wavelength, while the second drive signal modulates the EAM to output the third wavelength optical signal.
[0425] In some embodiments, the second optical assembly 430 may include a lens assembly 432. The lens assembly 432 may include a second lens 4321. The second lens 4321 may be located on the output optical path of the first laser chip 4311 so as to collimate the first wavelength optical signal emitted by the first laser chip 4311.
[0426] In some embodiments, the lens assembly 432 may include a third lens 4322 . The third lens 4322 may be located on an outgoing optical path of the second laser chip 4312 , such that the third lens 4322 collimates the second wavelength optical signal emitted by the second laser chip 4312 .
[0427] In some embodiments, the lens assembly 432 may include a fourth lens 4323 . The fourth lens 4323 may be located on an outgoing optical path of the third laser chip 4313 , so that the fourth lens 4323 collimates the third wavelength optical signal emitted by the third laser chip 4313 .
[0428] In some embodiments, the second optical component 430 may include a wavelength combining component 433. The wavelength combining component 433 may include a wavelength division multiplexer. The input side of the wavelength division multiplexer faces the laser chipset 431, and the output side of the wavelength division multiplexer faces the sixth connection hole 4111. The wavelength division multiplexer combines the first wavelength optical signal, the second wavelength optical signal, and the third wavelength optical signal emitted by the laser chipset 431 into a single optical signal for emission.
[0429] In some embodiments, the combining assembly 433 may include a polarization assembly and a polarization combining assembly. The polarization assembly is used to adjust the polarization direction of the optical signal, and the polarization combining assembly combines multiple polarized light beams into a single beam. The polarization assembly adjusts the polarization direction of the optical signal, and then combines the multiple polarized light beams into a single beam using the polarization combining assembly, thereby achieving wave combining in the optical emitting component.
[0430] In some embodiments, the wavelength combining component 433 may include multiple filters that cooperate with each other to combine the first wavelength optical signal, the second wavelength optical signal, and the third wavelength optical signal into a beam of transmitted optical signal.
[0431] As shown in Figures 50 and 51, the multiplexing assembly 433 may include a fourth filter 4331. The fourth filter 4331 may include an incident surface and an exit surface. Both the incident surface and the exit surface are located on the collimated optical path of the second lens 4321, that is, between the second lens 4321 and the sixth connecting hole 4111, so that the first wavelength optical signal can be incident on the fourth filter 4331 through the incident surface and be transmitted through the exit surface of the fourth filter 4331.
[0432] The wavelength combining assembly 433 may include a fifth optical filter 4332. The fifth optical filter 4332 may include an incident surface, a filtering surface, and an exit surface. The incident surface and the filtering surface are both located in the collimated optical path of the third lens 4322, and the exit surface is located in the reflected optical path of the filtering surface. This allows the second wavelength optical signal to enter the fifth optical filter 4332 through the incident surface, be reflected by the filtering surface of the fifth filter 4332, and finally be emitted through the exit surface.
[0433] The output surface of the fifth filter 4332 is connected to the output surface of the fourth filter 4331 , so that the second wavelength optical signal is emitted through the output surface of the fifth filter 4332 and then reflected through the output surface of the fourth filter 4331 .
[0434] The multiplexing assembly 433 may include a sixth optical filter 4333. The sixth optical filter 4333 may include an incident surface, a filtering surface, and an exit surface. The incident surface and the filtering surface are both located in the collimated optical path of the fourth lens 4323, and the exit surface is located in the reflected optical path of the filtering surface. This allows the third wavelength optical signal to enter the sixth optical filter 4333 through the incident surface, be reflected by the filtering surface of the sixth filter 4333, and finally be emitted through the exit surface.
[0435] The exit surface of the sixth filter 4333 is connected to the filtering surface of the fifth filter 4332, so that the third wavelength optical signal is emitted through the exit surface of the sixth filter 4333, transmitted through the filtering surface of the fifth filter 4332, and then emitted from the exit surface of the fifth filter 4332, and finally reflected through the exit surface of the fourth filter 4331.
[0436] The output surface of the sixth filter 4333 is connected to the output surface of the fifth filter 4332 , and the output surface of the fifth filter 4332 is connected to the output surface of the fourth filter 4331 , so as to increase the stability of the multiplexing component 433 .
[0437] In order to prevent the transmission light signal incident on the light receiving component 500 from returning to the laser chipset 431, in some embodiments, no isolator is provided in the light emitting component 400, as shown in FIG18. For example, an isolator 518 is provided in the light receiving component 500, and the isolator 518 can prevent a beam of transmission light signal incident on the light receiving component 500 from returning to the light emitting component 400, as shown in FIG14.
[0438] As shown in FIG51 , in some embodiments, the second optical assembly 430 may include an isolator group 434. The isolator group 434 may include a first isolator 4341. The first isolator 4341 may be located between the second lens 4321 and the fourth filter 4331 to prevent the first wavelength optical signal from returning to the first laser chip 4311 via the first isolator 4341.
[0439] In some embodiments, the isolator group 434 may include a second isolator 4342 . The second isolator 4342 may be located between the third lens 4322 and the fifth filter 4332 to prevent the second wavelength optical signal from returning to the second laser chip 4312 via the second isolator 4342 .
[0440] In some embodiments, the isolator group 434 may include a third isolator 4343 . The third isolator 4343 may be located between the fourth lens 4323 and the sixth filter 4333 to prevent the third wavelength optical signal from returning to the third laser chip 4313 via the third isolator 4343 .
[0441] The isolator includes a first polarizer, a Faraday plate and a second polarizer. The Faraday plates rotate in the same direction. Polarized light passing through the first polarizer cannot return to the first polarizer after Faraday rotation, so that the isolator composed of the first polarizer, the Faraday plate and the second polarizer has a reverse isolation effect.

Figure 53 is an exploded view of a second optical component and a transmission housing provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

The light window is embedded within the third through hole 4211 to seal the third through hole 4211; the light window can be made of transparent glass. The light window seals the third through hole 4211, allowing the transmitted light signal to pass through while also sealing the third through hole 4211 to ensure the sealing performance of the transmitting housing 402. In some embodiments, the light window may also be embedded in a connection with the fourth through hole 51321.
[0444] In some embodiments, a notch is provided at the second end of the launch housing 402, and the notch passes through the second end of the launch housing 402.

[0448] In some embodiments, the first optical component 403 further includes a lens component 432 , which is disposed on the optical path from the laser component 431 to the combiner component for collimating the optical signal generated by the laser component 431 and transmitting it to the combiner component.
[0449] In some embodiments, the first optical component 403 further includes a combining component, which is used to combine multiple optical signals of different wavelengths emitted by the laser component 431 into one transmitted optical signal.

The multiple jacks 4234 include a first jack and a second jack. The first jack is closer to the bottom of the transceiver housing 402. 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.
[0451] As shown in Figures 52 and 53, 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.
[0452] 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.
[0453] 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.

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.

Figure 56 is another optical path diagram of a first optical assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 57 is a combined optical path diagram of the first and second optical assemblies according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 55, 56, and 57, 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. The light output directions of first laser assembly 4311, second laser assembly 4312, and third laser assembly 4313 are directed toward the multiplexing assembly. In some embodiments, first laser assembly 4311 emits an optical signal of a first wavelength, second laser assembly 4312 emits an optical signal of a second wavelength, and third laser assembly 4313 emits an optical signal of a third wavelength. The optical axes of the first, second, and third wavelength optical signals are parallel to the longitudinal extension of the transmitting housing. Exemplarily, 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 1480-1500 nm, such as the wavelength of the second wavelength optical signal is 1490 nm; the wavelength range of the third wavelength optical signal is 1575-1580 nm, such as the wavelength of the third wavelength optical signal is 1577 nm.
[0461] 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.
[0462] 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.
[0463] 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.
[0464] In some embodiments, lens assembly 432 includes a first lens 4321, a second lens 4322, and a third lens 4323. First lens 4321 is disposed on the optical transmission path from first laser assembly 4311 to the combiner assembly, second lens 4322 is disposed on the optical transmission path from second laser assembly 4312 to the combiner assembly, and third lens 4323 is disposed on the optical transmission path from third laser assembly 4313 to the combiner assembly. In some embodiments, first lens 4321, second lens 4322, and third lens 4323 are disposed on substrate 404. However, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to first lens 4321, second lens 4322, and third lens 4323 being disposed on substrate 404.
[0465] 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.
[0466] 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.
[0467] 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.
[0468] As shown in FIG55 , 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.
[0469] As shown in Figure 55, 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.
[0470] 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.
[0471] 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°.
[0472] 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°.
[0473] The polarization component 433 and the polarization combining component 434 shown in Figure 16 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.
[0474] As shown in FIG56 , 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.
[0475] As shown in FIG56 , 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.
[0476] 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°.
[0477] 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°.
[0478] 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.
[0479] The polarization component 433 and the polarization combining component 434 shown in Figure 56 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.
[0480] As shown in FIG55 , 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.
[0481] As shown in FIG57 , 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 first displacement prism 5171 and then incident on the first filter 5172. Then, the optical signal is incident on the second displacement prism 5173 through the first filter 5172. Then, the optical signal is adjusted in the Y direction by the second displacement prism 5173 and incident on the fourth lens 5174. Finally, the optical signal is converged by the fourth lens 5174.
[0482] Figure 58 is a schematic diagram of the optical axis of the wave plate, the polarization direction of the incident light signal, and the polarization direction of the outgoing light signal provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 58, 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 is a schematic diagram of the polarization direction of the outgoing light signal obtained after the incident light signal with a polarization direction of 45° passes through the wave plate, and Figure B is a schematic diagram of the polarization direction of the outgoing light signal obtained after the incident light signal with a polarization direction of 135° passes through the wave plate. Figure C is a schematic diagram of the polarization direction of the outgoing light signal obtained after the incident light signal with a polarization direction of 45° passes through the wave plate, and Figure C is a schematic diagram of the polarization direction of the outgoing light signal obtained after the incident light signal with a polarization direction of 135° passes through the wave plate. As shown in Figure 58, in some embodiments, the wave plate is a half-wave plate, and the incident linearly polarized light emits linearly polarized light after passing through the half-wave plate. The characteristic of a half-wave plate is that the polarization direction of the incident light and the polarization direction of the outgoing light are symmetrical with respect to the optical axis of the half-wave plate.
[0483] The following only uses the polarization component 433 and the polarization combining component 434 shown in Figure 55 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.
[0484] 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.
[0485] The first preset angle is different from the second preset angle.
[0486] 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.
[0487] 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.
[0488] 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.
[0489] 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.
[0490] 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.
[0491] 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.
[0492] 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 FIG58 , 45° polarized light (i.e., an incident light signal with a 45° polarization direction) is polarized by the first wave plate to produce 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 forms a first preset angle, which is 22.5°.
[0493] 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.
[0494] 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.
[0495] 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 FIG19B , the 135° polarized light (i.e., the incident light signal with a 135° polarization direction) is polarized by the first wave plate to obtain 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°.
[0496] 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.
[0497] 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.
[0498] 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.
[0499] 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 FIG19 , 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°.
[0500] 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.
[0501] 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.
[0502] 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 FIG58 , 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°.
[0503] 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.
[0504] 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.
[0505] 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°.
[0506] 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.
[0507] 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.

As shown in Figure 59, a supporting member 407 is also provided on the substrate 404. One side of the supporting member 407 supports the third polarization combiner 4343, and the other side of the supporting member 407 supports the second polarization combiner 4342. The third polarization combiner 4343 is arranged parallel to the second polarization combiner 4342. The supporting member 407 is provided with a first through hole, one end of which is connected to the third polarization combiner 4343, and the other end of the first through hole is directed toward the third polarization component 4333, so that the vertically polarized light of the third wavelength optical signal emitted by the third polarization component 4333 is incident on the third polarization combiner 4343 through the first through hole; the supporting member 407 is also provided with a second through hole, one end of which is connected to the second polarization combiner 4342, and the other end of the second through hole is connected to the third polarization combiner 4343, so that the third wavelength optical signal reflected by the third polarization combiner 4343 is reflected to the second polarization combiner 4342 through the second through hole.
