The cushion block makes the light receiving chip inclined and arranged below the lens assembly. A reflecting surface is arranged on the lens assembly, and the light receiving chip is located below the reflecting surface. The light receiving signal input into the optical module is reflected by the reflecting surface and transmitted to the light receiving chip. Since the light receiving chip is inclined and arranged below the lens assembly, the light receiving signal reflected by the light receiving chip deviates from the light receiving signal input link, reducing the transmission of the reflected light receiving signal into the light receiving signal input link, and further reducing the transmission of the reflected light receiving signal along the light receiving signal input link to the light emitting chip of the optical module at the opposite end.

A heat dissipation copper layer is formed on the second surface of the circuit board. The projection of the heat dissipation copper layer in the direction of the first surface covers the DSP chip and extends beyond the DSP chip, thereby ensuring sufficient heat dissipation copper layer area to ensure heat dissipation efficiency. The placement of the first auxiliary electrical component beside the DSP chip shortens the electrical connection distance between the first auxiliary electrical component and the DSP chip, thereby ensuring the noise reduction, filtering, impedance matching, and other effects of the first auxiliary electrical component. Furthermore, the first auxiliary electrical component and the DSP chip are located on the same side of the circuit board, which reduces the space occupied by the first auxiliary electrical component on the second surface, providing ample space for the heat dissipation copper layer. This allows the heat dissipation copper layer to be as large as possible, providing a larger heat dissipation area for the DSP chip and ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation copper layer.

When the lens assembly is bonded to the circuit board using glue, the third and fourth adhesive layers block the glue, preventing it from invading and contaminating the electrical connection area between the DSP chip and the circuit board. The third adhesive barrier layer surrounds the sides of the first auxiliary electrical component, and the third and fourth adhesive layers work together to effectively block the glue.
[0032] Some embodiments provide an optical module, further comprising a light receiving chip and a spacer; the lens assembly comprises a reflective surface, and the light receiving chip is located below the reflective surface;
[0033] An inclined surface is formed on the top of the pad, and the inclined surface is connected to the light receiving chip; and a bottom of the pad is connected to the circuit board.
[0034] Another technical solution among the above technical solutions has the following advantages or beneficial effects: a gasket and a light receiving chip are arranged below the lens assembly, the top of the gasket is formed with an inclined surface, the bottom of the gasket is connected to the circuit board, the light receiving chip is arranged on the top of the gasket, and the gasket causes the light receiving chip to be arranged obliquely below the lens assembly. A reflecting surface is provided on the lens assembly, and the light receiving chip is located below the reflecting surface. The light receiving signal input to the optical module is reflected by the reflecting surface and transmitted to the light receiving chip. Since the light receiving chip is arranged obliquely below the lens assembly, the light receiving signal reflected by the light receiving chip deviates from the light receiving signal input link, reducing the reflected light receiving signal from being transmitted to the light receiving signal input link, thereby reducing the reflected light receiving signal from being transmitted along the light receiving signal input link to the light transmitting chip of the optical module at the opposite end.

However, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments provided in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0054] In optical communication technology, in order to establish information transmission between information processing devices, information is loaded onto light, and the transmission of information is carried out by using the propagation speed of light. Such information-loaded light is an optical signal. The optical signal can reduce the loss of optical power when transmitted in an optical information transmission device, and realize long-distance transmission of the optical signal. At the same time, the cost of optical information transmission devices such as optical fibers is lower than that of electrical information transmission devices such as copper wires. Therefore, optical communication technology can realize high-speed, long-distance, and low-cost information transmission.

[0057] Since the information transmission between multiple information processing devices can be performed through the electrical signal, at least one of the multiple information processing devices needs to be directly connected with the optical module, without the need of directly connecting all the information processing devices with the optical module.

The upper shell 201 covers the lower shell 202, forming two openings 203 and 204, one of which is an electrical opening, and the other of which is an optical opening. In some embodiments, the shell forms one opening, which is both an electrical opening and an optical opening.

The first and second heat-dissipating copper layers 3031, 3032 transfer heat generated by the main chips, such as the optical transmitter chip 310, the optical receiver chip 320, the driver chip 360, or the transimpedance amplifier 380, to the lower housing 202 via the protrusions on the inner side of the lower housing 202. The first and second heat-dissipating copper layers 3031, 3032 can be in contact with the protrusions on the inner side of the lower housing 202 via a thermally conductive layer or a thermally conductive gasket.
[0104] In some embodiments, the edge of the first heat dissipation copper layer 3031 extends beyond the edge of the driver chip 360, and the edge of the second heat dissipation copper layer 3032 extends beyond the edge of the transimpedance amplifier 380.

[0105] Since a gap is set between the first heat dissipation copper layer 3031 and the second heat dissipation copper layer 3032, the heat generated by the optical transmitter chip 310 and the like is transferred through the first heat dissipation copper layer 3031, and the heat generated by the optical receiver chip 320 and the like is transferred through the second heat dissipation copper layer 3032, thereby reducing the thermal crosstalk between the driver chip and the transimpedance amplifier.

The heat dissipation copper layer 303a is located below the driver chip 360 and the transimpedance amplifier 380. The projection of the heat dissipation copper layer 303a in the direction of the first surface 301 covers the driver chip 360 and the transimpedance amplifier 380. The first auxiliary electrical component group 370 is located on the side of the driver chip 360, and the second auxiliary electrical component group 390 is located on the side of the transimpedance amplifier 380. This reduces the space occupied by the first and second auxiliary electrical component groups 370 and 390 on the second surface 302, thereby providing space for the heat dissipation copper layer 303a. This maximizes the area of the heat dissipation copper layer 303a, provides a larger heat dissipation area for the driver chip 360 and the transimpedance amplifier 380, and ensures the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation copper layer 303a. In addition, the first auxiliary electrical component group 370 is located on the side of the driving chip 360, and the second auxiliary electrical component group 390 is located on the side of the transimpedance amplifier 380. This also facilitates shortening the electrical connection distance between the first auxiliary electrical component group 370 and the driving chip 360, as well as shortening the electrical connection distance between the second auxiliary electrical component group 390 and the transimpedance amplifier 380, thereby ensuring the noise reduction, filtering, impedance matching and other effects of the first auxiliary electrical component group 370 and the second auxiliary electrical component group 390.

In addition, the first auxiliary electrical device 340 and the second auxiliary electrical device 350 are disposed on the side edges of the DSP chip 330, facilitating the shortening of the electrical connection distance between the first auxiliary electrical device 340 and the DSP chip 330 and the electrical connection distance between the second auxiliary electrical device 350 and the DSP chip 330, and ensuring the noise reduction, filtering, impedance matching, and other effects of the first auxiliary electrical device 340 and the second auxiliary electrical device 350.

[0118] Figure 13A A partial structure of a light receiving chip and a lens assembly according to some embodiments Figure 1 .like Figure 13A As shown, a reflective surface 401 is formed on the lens assembly 400 , and the reflective surface 401 is located above the light receiving chip 320 . The light receiving signal input into the optical module 200 is reflected by the reflective surface 401 and transmitted to the light receiving chip 320 .
[0119] In some embodiments, a converging lens 402 is formed on the lens assembly 400 , and the converging lens 402 is located below the reflective surface 401 and above the optical receiving chip 320 . The converging lens 402 is used to converge the optical receiving signal reflected by the reflective surface 401 to the optical receiving chip 320 .
[0120] When the optical receive signal is transmitted to the optical receive chip 320, part of the optical receive signal is reflected by the optical receive chip 320. If the reflected optical receive signal is transmitted to the optical receive signal input link, it may be transmitted along the optical receive signal input link to the optical transmit chip of the optical module at the other end, affecting the normal stimulated emission of the laser and degrading the transmission performance of the optical module at the other end.
[0121] Figure 13B A partial structure of a light receiving chip and a lens assembly according to some embodimentsFigure 2 As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, a light receiving chip 320 is disposed below a lens assembly 400, and a support 321 is disposed below the light receiving chip 320. The support 321 supports the light receiving chip 320, and the light receiving chip 320 is disposed obliquely below the lens assembly 400. For example, the support 321 has an inclined surface on a top thereof, and the inclined surface supports the light receiving chip 320. A bottom of the support 321 is connected to a first surface 301 of a circuit board 300. Figure 13B As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, a light receiving chip 320 is disposed below a lens assembly 400, and a support 321 is disposed below the light receiving chip 320. The support 321 supports the light receiving chip 320, and the light receiving chip 320 is disposed obliquely below the lens assembly 400. For example, the support 321 has an inclined surface on a top thereof, and the inclined surface supports the light receiving chip 320. A bottom of the support 321 is connected to a first surface 301 of a circuit board 300.
[0122] In some embodiments, the inclined surface has an inclination angle of 5-20°, and the light receiving chip 320 is disposed obliquely at an angle of 5-20°. For example, the inclined surface has an inclination angle of 5-15°, and the light receiving chip 320 is disposed obliquely at an angle of 5-15°.
[0123] When a light receiving signal is transmitted to the light receiving chip 320, part of the light receiving signal is reflected by the light receiving chip 320. Due to the oblique disposition of the light receiving chip 320, the reflected light receiving signal deviates from a light receiving signal input link, and the transmission of the reflected light receiving signal to the light receiving signal input link is reduced. In turn, the transmission of the reflected light receiving signal along the light receiving signal input link to a light emitting chip of an optical module at an opposite end is reduced.
