[0040] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] In PON, optical devices are usually implemented in TO packaging, usually a single-channel transceiver structure, that is, BOSA devices. Generally speaking, optical line terminals (OLT) are presented in the form of optical modules, while in ONU and optical network terminals (ONT) (hereinafter, ONU is used as an example for explanation), in order to reduce costs, optical devices are directly assembled on a single board, that is, ONU is usually implemented in the form of optical devices on board.

[0042] The optical device on board method is widely used in GPON and 10G PON. When applied to 50G PON, the BOB method will inevitably be adopted. However, with the evolution of technology, different generations of network planning are different. In 50G PON, the transmission wavelength of the ONU may be determined to be 1286±2nm, and the wavelength accuracy requirement is relatively high. The current laser characteristics determine that cooling packaging is required in the optical devices of the ONU. For example, in the optical device, a cooler is set for the laser to stably control the operating temperature of the laser, but the existence of the cooler will make the overall power consumption higher, and the optical device needs to be cooled. At present, in order to solve the heat dissipation problem, a heat dissipation block is added around the base, and the heat dissipation block is assembled with the peripheral structure to achieve heat dissipation. In this way, additional hardware structures need to be added to achieve heat dissipation.

[0043] Based on this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an optical device in which a cooler contacts a base, and the base contacts a shielding cover, so that heat released by the cooler can be dissipated through the base and the shielding cover without adding additional hardware structures.

[0044] An optical device is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The optical device is applied to an ONU or an ONT. The optical device is a single-channel transmitting optical device, or a single-channel transmitting and receiving integrated optical device, that is, there is a transmitting component and a receiving component.

[0045] In the disclosed embodiment, the optical device adopts the method of optical device on board, and the optical device includes a refrigerator 1, a base 2, a laser 3, a shielding cover 4, a frame 9, a fixing structure 10 and a single board 11. The refrigerator 1 is used to control the working temperature of the laser 3, the base 2 can be a TO base, the laser 3 is used to output optical signals, and is a laser chip, the shielding cover 4 is used for electromagnetic shielding, and the single board 11 is a printed circuit board (PCB). The refrigerator 1, the base 2 and the laser 3 are fixed in the shielding cover 4. The refrigerator 1 has a heat absorbing surface and a heat generating surface. The heat absorbing surface is used to absorb heat for cooling, and the heat generating surface is used to release heat for heat dissipation. The refrigerator 1 is fixed on the base 2, and the heating surface of the refrigerator 1 is in contact with the base 2.

The refrigerator 1 and the laser 3 are both connected to the single board 11, and the base 2 is fixed to the frame 9, and the frame 9 is connected to the single board 11 through the fixed structure 10. In this way, the refrigerator 1 absorbs the heat of the laser 3, so that the temperature of the laser 3 is constant, and the optical signal of the specified wavelength is output. The heat released by the refrigerator 1 is first transferred to the base 2, and the base 2 then transfers the heat to the shielding cover 4, thereby dissipating heat.

In order to improve the heat conduction effect, the optical device further includes a heat conducting medium 6, which is located between the base 2 and the shielding cover 4 to fill the gap between the base 2 and the shielding cover 4. In this way, the heat conducting medium 6 makes the base 2 and the shielding cover 4 in close contact, so that the heat of the base 2 is more easily transferred to the shielding cover 4 for heat dissipation.

[0051] Optionally, the heat-conducting medium 6 is any medium that is easy to transfer heat, for example, the heat-conducting medium 6 is a heat-conducting glue or a heat-conducting pad.

In this way, the heating surface of the refrigerator 1 contacts the first boss 21, so that the heat is transferred to the first boss 21, the first boss 21 transfers the heat to the second boss 22, and the second boss 22 dissipates heat through the shielding cover 4.

In the case where the sealing cover 5 is a tubular sealing cover, Figure 4 A side view and a front view of the base 2 are shown.

[0057] It should be noted that when the sealing cover 5 is a tubular sealing cover, the sealing cover 5 can be called a tube cap, and when the light window 01 is configured as a converging lens, the sealing cover 5 can also be called a lens tube cap.

[0058] Optionally, the surface of the base 2 facing the top wall of the shielding case 4 can be of any shape, but in order to increase the contact area with the shielding case 4 , the shape is the same as the shape of the top wall of the shielding case 4 .
