Among related technologies, the most widely deployed technology integrates two signal modes: Gigabit-capable passive optical networks (GPON) and 10-Gigabit-capable symmetric passive optical networks (10GPON). However, the optical transceivers in these technologies can only fuse optical signals from these two modes and cannot meet the needs of integrating higher-speed passive optical fiber networks.

[0012] The optical module transceiver device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the figures, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.
[0013] like Figures 1 to 5 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of an optical transceiver device according to an embodiment of this application. The optical transceiver device may include: an optical component 1, a circuit processing unit 2, and a housing 3. The optical component 1 and the circuit processing unit 2 are disposed within the housing 3. The circuit processing unit 2 includes multiple transceiver modules, each including at least one of a receiving unit and a transmitting unit. The optical component 1 includes a wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) 12 and a multiplexer WDM 13.
[0014] Among them, the WDM13 is used to perform multiple-wave multiplexing on optical signals transmitted by multiple transmitting units and then send them to the WDM12; the WDM12 is used to perform multiple-wave multiplexing on optical signals received from optical network units and send each optical signal after wave multiplexing to the corresponding receiving unit, and to filter the multiplexed signal sent by the WDM13 before sending it to the external optical fiber.
[0015] It is worth noting that multiple transceiver modules can be passive optical network (PON) transceiver modules with the same speed, or they can be PON transceiver modules with different speeds, such as Gigabit-capable passive optical networks optical line terminal (GPON OLT) transceiver modules, 10GPON OLT transceiver modules, 50GPON OLT transceiver modules, etc., or they can be PON transceiver modules with other speeds. This embodiment will not describe them one by one, and the actual application shall prevail.
[0016] In other words, the optical transceiver device provided in this embodiment can include not only GPON transceiver modules and 10GPON transceiver modules in related technologies, but also higher-speed 50GPON transceiver modules, or transceiver modules of other speeds. Moreover, it does not require an external multiplexer / demultiplexer device for 50GPON modules or other modules. Multiple transceiver modules can be packaged in a small form-factor pluggable-double-density (SFP-DD) transceiver device, achieving miniaturized packaging and enabling coexistence of multiple generations of PON to meet upgrade requirements.
[0017] In the embodiments of this application, the optical transceiver includes: an optical component, a circuit processing unit, and a housing. The optical component and the circuit processing unit are disposed within the housing. The circuit processing unit includes multiple transceiver modules, each of which includes at least one of a receiving unit and a transmitting unit. The optical component includes a wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) and a wavelength multiplexer (WDM). The wavelength multiplexer (WDM) is used to perform wavelength multiplexing processing on optical signals transmitted by multiple transmitting units and then transmit them to the wavelength multiplexer (WDM). The wavelength multiplexer (WDM) is used to perform wavelength division processing on multiple optical signals received from optical network units and transmit each optical signal obtained after wavelength division processing to the corresponding receiving unit. It also performs a single filtering on the wavelength multiplexer (WDM) signal transmitted by the wavelength multiplexer (WDM) and then transmits it to an external optical fiber. This application embodiment can perform wavelength division and multiplexing of waves of different wavelengths through the wavelength division and multiplexing capabilities of optical components. By using the wavelength division and multiplexing capabilities of optical components, multiple transceiver modules with different bandwidths can be integrated into one optical transceiver device, making the transceiver device compatible with low-speed PON, high-speed PON and even higher-speed PON. It can realize the coexistence of multiple generations of PON in a passive optical network and can work simultaneously. The optical signals emitted by multiple transmitting units can be transmitted to the external optical fiber after one filtering by wavelength division and multiplexing WDM, which can reduce the loss of optical energy.
[0018] In one possible embodiment of this application, the WDM13 includes a first parallelogram prism 131, a second parallelogram prism 132, and a third parallelogram prism 133. The second hypotenuse of the first parallelogram prism 131 is fitted with the first hypotenuse of the second parallelogram prism 132, and the second hypotenuse of the second parallelogram prism 132 is fitted with the first hypotenuse of the third parallelogram prism 133. The first parallelogram prism 131, the second parallelogram prism 132, and the third parallelogram prism 133 are all 45° parallelogram prisms.
[0019] The first light ray is transmitted from the first bottom edge of the first parallelogram prism 131 to the first inclined edge of the first parallelogram prism 131, and after total internal reflection by the first inclined edge of the first parallelogram prism 131, it is transmitted to the second inclined edge of the first parallelogram prism 131, and then transmitted through the second inclined edge of the first parallelogram prism 131 into the second parallelogram prism 132, and then transmitted through the second inclined edge of the second parallelogram prism 132 into the third parallelogram prism 133, and after total internal reflection by the second inclined edge of the third parallelogram prism 133, it is transmitted through the second bottom edge of the third parallelogram prism 133 to the wave combiner / splitter WDM12; the second light ray is transmitted from the first bottom edge of the second parallelogram prism 132 to the first inclined edge of the second parallelogram prism 132, and then transmitted through the second inclined edge of the second parallelogram prism 132 into the third parallelogram prism 133. The first inclined side of 32 is totally reflected and transmitted to the second inclined side of the second parallelogram prism 132, and then transmitted through the second inclined side of the second parallelogram prism 132 into the third parallelogram prism 133. After total reflection through the second inclined side of the third parallelogram prism 133, it is transmitted through the second bottom side of the third parallelogram prism 133 and then transmitted to the combiner / splitter WDM12. The third ray is transmitted through the first bottom side of the third parallelogram prism 133 to the first inclined side of the third parallelogram prism 133, and after total reflection through the first inclined side of the third parallelogram prism 133, it is transmitted to the second inclined side of the third parallelogram prism 133. After total reflection through the second inclined side of the third parallelogram prism 133, it is transmitted through the second bottom side of the third parallelogram prism 133 and then transmitted to the combiner / splitter WDM12.
[0020] It should be noted that, due to bandwidth limitations, the third ray cannot be an optical signal emitted by the GPON transmitting unit.
[0021] In this embodiment, the WDM13 is made of at least three 45-degree parallelogram prisms bonded together. The middle bonded surface has transmission and reflection functions, the side opposite the bonded surface is the reflection surface with total internal reflection function, and the side adjacent to the bonded surface has transmission function. The WDM13 can combine multiple optical signals into a single beam for emission.
[0022] In one possible embodiment of this application, three types of transmitting units are described as examples. The transmitting units include a Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) OLT transmitting unit 16, a 10G PON OLT transmitting unit 17, and a 50G PON OLT transmitting unit 18. The GPON OLT transmitting unit 16 transmits a first optical signal, the 10G PON OLT transmitting unit 17 transmits a second optical signal, and the 50G PON OLT transmitting unit 18 transmits a third optical signal, wherein the third optical signal is either the second optical signal or the third optical signal.
[0023] Wherein, when the third ray is the second light signal, the first ray is the first light signal and the second ray is the third light signal; or when the third ray is the second light signal, the first ray is the third light signal and the second ray is the first light signal; when the third ray is the third light signal, the first ray is the first light signal and the second ray is the second light signal; or when the third ray is the third light signal, the first ray is the second light signal and the second ray is the first light signal.
[0024] In other words, the third ray cannot be the first light signal, in order to avoid affecting the synthesis.
[0025] In one specific embodiment of this application, three types of PON OLTs are used as examples for illustration. The wavelengths of the three types of PON OLTs are arranged from left to right as the first, second, and third type optical signals (third ray λ1, second ray λ2, and first ray λ3). It is required that the leftmost λ1 cannot be a GPON OLT TX (1480nm~1500nm) optical signal. The following four permutations of the three types of optical signals can be combined from left to right: Combination 1: λ1 = 10G PON OLT TX (1575 nm~1581 nm), λ2 = GPON OLT TX (1480 nm~1500 nm), λ3 = 50G PON OLT TX (1300 nm~1344 nm); Combination 2: λ1=50G PON OLT TX (1300 nm~1344nm), λ2=GPON OLT TX (1480 nm~1500nm), λ3=10G PON OLT TX (1575 nm~1581nm); Combination 3: λ1=10G PON OLT TX (1575 nm~1581nm), λ2=50G PON OLT TX (1300 nm~1344nm), λ3=GPON OLT TX (1480 nm~1500nm); Combination 4: λ1=50G PON OLT TX (1300 nm~1344nm), λ2=10G PON OLT TX (1575 nm~1581nm), λ3=GPON OLT TX (1480 nm~1500nm).
[0026] In one possible embodiment of this application, the optical component 1 may further include a collimating lens 15 and a second isolator 14, wherein the collimating lens 15 is used to shape the input first optical signal, second optical signal and third optical signal and output parallel light.
[0027] The second optical signal emitted by the 10G PON OLT transmitting unit 17 is input to the second isolator 14 after passing through the collimating lens 15, and then output to the multiplexing / demultiplexing WDM12 after passing through the multiplexing / demultiplexing WDM13. The third optical signal emitted by the 50G PON OLT transmitting unit 18 is input to the second isolator 14 after passing through the collimating lens 15, and then output to the multiplexing / demultiplexing WDM12 after passing through the multiplexing / demultiplexing WDM13. The second isolator 14 is used to prevent the second optical signal from being reflected back to the 10G PON OLT transmitting unit 17 and to prevent the third optical signal from being reflected back to the 50G PON OLT transmitting unit 18. The first optical signal emitted by the GPON OLT transmitting unit 16 is input to the multiplexing / demultiplexing WDM13 after passing through the collimating lens 15, and then output to the multiplexing / demultiplexing WDM12 after passing through the multiplexing / demultiplexing WDM13.
[0028] The optical signals emitted by the GPON OLT transmitting unit 16, 10G PON OLT transmitting unit 17, and 50G PON OLT transmitting unit 18 are processed by the collimating lens 15 to obtain parallel light, so that the light can enter the multiplexing WDM 13 perpendicularly, allowing the first, second, and third optical signals to be better combined into a single beam. Before entering the multiplexing WDM 13, the optical signals can also pass through the second isolator 14 to prevent the emitted optical signals from being reflected back and affecting the output quality of the optical signals.
[0029] It is worth noting that because the transmission rate of the GPON transmitter is relatively low, the optical signal emitted by the GPON transmitter can be bypassed by the isolator, thereby reducing costs.
[0030] In one possible embodiment of this application, the multiplexing / demultiplexing WDM12 includes a wave-splitting prism 121, a first wave-splitting filter 122, a second wave-splitting filter 123, a third wave-splitting filter 124, a fourth wave-splitting filter 125, and a reflection filter 126. The first bottom edge of the first wave-splitting filter 122, the first bottom edge of the second wave-splitting filter 123, the first bottom edge of the third wave-splitting filter 124, and the first bottom edge of the fourth wave-splitting filter 125 are all attached to the first bottom edge of the wave-splitting prism 121. The first bottom edge of the reflection filter 126 is attached to the second bottom edge of the wave-splitting prism 121. The first bottom edge and the second bottom edge of the wave-splitting prism 121 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0031] In this process, multiple optical signals transmitted by the optical network unit are input to the first wavelength division multiplexing filter 122 after passing through the second bottom edge and the first bottom edge of the wavelength division multiplexing prism 121. After total internal reflection at the second bottom edge of the first wavelength division multiplexing filter 122, they are input to the wavelength division multiplexing prism 121. After passing through the first bottom edge and the second bottom edge of the wavelength division multiplexing prism 121, they are input to the reflection filter 126. After total internal reflection at the second bottom edge of the reflection filter 126, they are input to the wavelength division multiplexing prism 121. After passing through the second bottom edge and the first bottom edge of the wavelength division multiplexing prism 121, they are input to the second wavelength division multiplexing filter 123. The fourth optical signal is transmitted through the second bottom edge of the second wavelength division multiplexing filter 123 and is received by the corresponding receiving unit. The fifth and sixth optical signals are input to the wavelength division multiplexing prism 121 after total internal reflection at the second bottom edge of the second wavelength division multiplexing filter 123. After passing through the first bottom edge and the second bottom edge of the wavelength division multiplexing prism 121, they are input to the reflection filter 126. After reflection... After total reflection at the second bottom edge of filter 126, the signal is input to the wave-splitting prism 121. After passing through the second and first bottom edges of the wave-splitting prism 121, the signal is input to the third wave-splitting filter 124. The fifth optical signal is transmitted through the second bottom edge of the third wave-splitting filter 124 and received by the corresponding receiving unit. The sixth optical signal is input to the wave-splitting prism 121 after total reflection at the second bottom edge of the third wave-splitting filter 124. After passing through the first and second bottom edges of the wave-splitting prism 121, the signal is input to the reflection filter 126. After total reflection at the second bottom edge of the reflection filter 126, the signal is input to the wave-splitting prism 121. After passing through the second and first bottom edges of the wave-splitting prism 121, the signal is input to the fourth wave-splitting filter 125. The sixth optical signal is transmitted through the second bottom edge of the fourth wave-splitting filter 125 and received by the corresponding receiving unit. The fourth and fifth optical signals each include optical signals of at least one wavelength.
[0032] In other words, the WDM12 multiplexer has the functions of wavelength division and filtering. The WDM12 can perform wavelength division processing on multiple optical signals sent by the Optical Network Unit (ONU) and output them in several wavelengths. It can also filter the multiplexed signal sent by the WDM13 and transmit it to the external optical fiber.
[0033] In this embodiment, the wave-multiplexing WDM13 is composed of multiple prisms. The wave-splitting prism 121 is a transparent prism that transmits various optical signals sent by the optical network unit. The second bottom edge of the transparent prism 121 can be a coated interface. The combined signal sent by the wave-multiplexing WDM13 undergoes a first filtering process at this coated interface, reducing signal loss and resulting in greater emitted light energy. The first wave-multiplexing filter 122 transmits the combined signal sent by the wave-multiplexing WDM13 and performs total internal reflection on various optical signals sent by the optical network unit. The reflective filter 126 performs total internal reflection on various optical signals sent by the optical network unit. The second wave-multiplexing filter 123, the third wave-multiplexing filter 124, and the fourth wave-multiplexing filter 125 can transmit optical signals of corresponding wavelengths and perform total internal reflection on optical signals of other wavelengths. The number of wave-multiplexing filters can be multiple, depending on the number and wavelength type of the optical signals. The specific number depends on the actual application and is not limited in this embodiment.
[0034] It is worth noting that the ONU may include GPON ONU, 10GPON ONU, 50GPON ONU, and optical signals of other wavelengths, depending on the actual application; this embodiment does not impose any limitations. Accordingly, the sixth optical signal is the optical signal transmitted by the GPON ONU, the fifth optical signal is the optical signal transmitted by the 10GPON ONU, and the fourth optical signal is the optical signal transmitted by the 50GPON ONU.
[0035] In this embodiment, by using a wavelength division prism 121, a reflective filter 126, and multiple wavelength division filters, different optical signals can be processed by wavelength division and filtering to obtain multiple single optical signals. These signals are then input to different receiving units and converted into electrical signals for output. This allows the transceiver device to receive optical signals of various wavelengths and transmit multiple combined signals of different wavelengths. In other words, the optical module transceiver device in this embodiment can receive and transmit optical signals of various bandwidths, satisfying the requirement that the optical module transceiver device is compatible with multiple PONs of different rates. This means it can handle incident light from different directions, ensuring that the optical signals incident on the optical module transceiver device and the optical signals emitted by the optical module transceiver device do not interfere with each other.
[0036] In one possible embodiment of this application, the fourth optical signal is an optical signal that can be received by the 50G PON OLT receiving unit 20, the fifth optical signal is an optical signal that can be received by the 10G PON OLT receiving unit 21, and the sixth optical signal is an optical signal that can be received by the 10G PON OLT receiving unit 22.
[0037] Optical component 1 may also include a first semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) coupling lens 27, a first SOA 26, and a second SOA coupling lens 24.
[0038] The fourth optical signal is transmitted through the second bottom edge of the second wavelength division multiplexing filter 123 and then input to the first SOA coupling lens 27 to form a converging light. After being amplified by the first SOA 26, it is input to the second SOA coupling lens 24 to form a converging light, which is then input to the 50G PON OLT receiving unit. The fifth optical signal is transmitted through the second bottom edge of the third wavelength division multiplexing filter 124 and then input to the second SOA coupling lens 24 to form a converging light, which is then input to the 10G PON OLT receiving unit. The sixth optical signal is transmitted through the second bottom edge of the fourth wavelength division multiplexing filter 125 and then input to the second SOA coupling lens 24 to form a converging light, which is then input to the 10G PON OLT receiving unit.
[0039] In other words, the first SOA coupling lens 27 has a converging function, the first SOA 26 has a signal amplification function, and the second SOA coupling lens 24 has a converging function.
[0040] In this embodiment, the fourth optical signal, after being transmitted through the wavelength division multiplexing filter, can be focused by the first SOA coupling lens 27, making the optical signal more concentrated and avoiding signal loss. Then, after being amplified by the first SOA 26, it is focused again by the second SOA coupling lens 24 before being input to the 50G PON OLT receiving unit. Since the fifth and sixth optical signals have lower transmission rates, they can bypass the first SOA coupling lens 27 and the first SOA 26 and be directly focused by the second SOA coupling lens 24 before being input to their respective receiving units.
[0041] Since the fifth and sixth optical signals have low transmission rates, they can be focused by an avalanche photodiode (APD) and then input to the corresponding receiving unit.
[0042] In other words, low-rate or high signal-to-noise ratio wavelength signals can be directly received by avalanche diodes to output high-sensitivity signals.
[0043] In one possible embodiment of this application, the fifth optical signal is transmitted through the second bottom edge of the third wavelength division filter 124 and then input to the first SOA coupling lens 27 to form a converging light. After being amplified by the first SOA 26, it is input to the second SOA coupling lens 24 to form a converging light that is then input to the 10G PON OLT receiving unit.
[0044] In other embodiments, to avoid signal loss, the fifth optical signal, after being transmitted through the wavelength division multiplexing filter, can also be focused by the first SOA coupling lens 27 to make the optical signal more focused. After being amplified by the first SOA 26, it is then focused again by the second SOA coupling lens 24 before being input to the 10G PON OLT receiving unit.
[0045] In one possible embodiment of this application, the optical component 1 further includes a first isolator 28 and a 45-degree cemented folding prism 23.
[0046] The fourth optical signal is transmitted through the second bottom edge of the second wavelength division multiplexing filter 123 and then input to the first isolator 28. The fifth optical signal is transmitted through the second bottom edge of the third wavelength division multiplexing filter 124 and then input to the first isolator 28. The first isolator 28 is used to prevent the fourth optical signal from being reflected back to the second wavelength division multiplexing filter 123 and to prevent the fifth optical signal from being reflected back to the third wavelength division multiplexing filter 124. The fourth, fifth, and sixth optical signals are all connected by the second SOA coupling lens 24 and then input to the 45-degree cemented prism 23. After the 45-degree cemented prism 23 turns the optical signal by 90 degrees, it enters the corresponding receiving unit.
[0047] In this embodiment, the optical signal can pass through the second isolator 14 before entering the first SOA coupling lens 27 to prevent the emitted optical signal from being reflected back and affecting the output quality of the optical signal. Since the display of the receiving unit is on the side that we can see, the optical path needs to be turned 90 degrees. That is, before entering the corresponding receiving unit, the optical signal can also be turned 90 degrees by a 45-degree cemented turning prism 23. This also shortens the size of the housing 3 in the first direction, which refers to the direction in which the optical signal sent by the optical network unit enters the optical component 1.
[0048] It is worth noting that because the transmission rate of the GPON transmitter is relatively low, the optical signal emitted by the GPON transmitter can be bypassed by the isolator, thereby reducing costs.
[0049] In one possible embodiment of this application, the fourth optical signal includes a first sub-optical signal and a second sub-optical signal. The first sub-optical signal is an optical signal that can be received by a 50G PON OLT receiving unit, and the second sub-optical signal is an optical signal that can be received by a 10G PON OLT receiving unit.
[0050] Optical assembly 1 also includes a first SOA coupling lens 27, a first SOA 26, a wave splitter WDM, and a second SOA coupling lens 24.
[0051] The fourth optical signal is transmitted through the second bottom edge of the second wavelength division filter 123 and then input to the first SOA coupling lens 27 to form a focused light. After being amplified by the first SOA 26, it is input to the wavelength division WDM for wavelength division processing to obtain the first sub-optical signal and the second sub-optical signal.
