[0036] With the development of communication technology, optical communication technology has been widely used in various fields due to its characteristics of large communication capacity and low loss. When information is transmitted through optical fiber, various types of optical signal transmission devices are generated, such as optical transceiver modules (or simply optical modules). An optical transceiver module includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is used to convert electrical signals into optical signals, and the receiver is used to convert optical signals back into electrical signals.

[0037] However, the increased data rates in optical transceiver modules have led to high power consumption. Traditional high-speed optical modules, such as 800G DR8, 1.6T DR8, and 1.6T DR16 modules, consume very high power when operating on switches with throughputs of 51.6Tb / s, 115.2Tb / s, and above. This poses a significant challenge to the use of trunking optical modules and also to the reliability and lifespan of pluggable optical modules. Furthermore, in high-speed optical modules, the two main high-temperature points are the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and the laser. The laser, in particular, is a component prone to failure in overheated environments. Therefore, in high-intensity data processing and transmission, achieving better heat dissipation for the laser necessitates further increasing the power consumption of the optical module. Thus, managing the power consumption and heat dissipation of high-density optical modules is a significant challenge. Therefore, current optical transceiver modules suffer from high power consumption.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an optical signal transmission device in one embodiment. An optical signal transmission device A is provided, which includes: an optical transmitter 1, an optical receiver 2, and an optical interface device 3; the optical transmitter 1 is connected to an external light source B through the optical interface device 3, and the optical transmitter 1 is also connected to the optical receiver 2 through the optical interface device 3; the optical interface device 3 is a pluggable interface.

[0039] Among them, the optical signal transmission device A is a pluggable optical module, and the optical transmitter 1 may include, but is not limited to, silicon photonic chips, etc. It should be noted that the optical transmitter 1 does not include a laser; the optical receiver 2 may include, but is not limited to, photodiodes and transimpedance amplifiers, etc.; the optical interface device 3 is a pluggable interface, such as an optical port. Optionally, the optical port can be an MPO (Multi-fiber Push On, a high-density fiber optic connector), or it can be other parallel optical ports, or it can be an interface designed using a pigtail. Of course, the embodiments of this application do not limit the optical port.

[0040] External light source B may include, but is not limited to, silicon photonics light sources, which may include, but are not limited to, any type of laser. Optionally, the external light source may be a pluggable optical module in OSFP (Octal Small Form-factor Pluggable), OSFP-XD (Octal Small Form-factor Pluggable - Extra Dense), QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable - Double Density), or ELSFP package. Of course, this application embodiment does not limit the packaging method of the external light source. For example, the external light source may be a high-power laser coupled to the MPO and connected to the aforementioned optical signal transmission device A via a branch cable. It should be noted that the external light source B can be pluggably connected to or disconnected from the optical signal transmission device A via the optical interface device 3.

[0041] Furthermore, the optical module in this application embodiment can be not only a 1.6T OSFP-XD DR8 optical module, but also a 1.6T OSFP-XD DR16 optical module, a 1.6T OSFP-XD 4XFR4 optical module, a 1.6T OSFP-XD 2XFR4 optical module, a 1.6T OSFP DR8 optical module, a 1.6T QSFP-DD DR8 optical module, an 800G OSFP DR4 optical module, or an 800G QSFP-DD DR8 optical module.

[0042] In this embodiment, the optical signal transmission device A includes an optical transmitter 1, an optical receiver 2, and an optical interface device 3. The optical transmitter 1 is connected to an external light source B via the optical interface device 3, and is also connected to the optical receiver 2 via the optical interface device 3. The optical transmitter 1 and the optical interface device 3 are connected via optical fiber, as are the optical receiver 2 and the optical interface device 3. The optical interface device 3 is also connected to the external light source B via optical fiber. The external light source B outputs at least one optical signal to the optical interface device 3. The optical interface device 3 transmits this at least one optical signal to the optical transmitter 1. The optical transmitter 1 performs optical signal processing on the at least one optical signal, such as phase modulation or amplitude modulation, and transmits the processed optical signal to the optical interface device 3. The optical interface device 3 also transmits the processed optical signal to the optical receiver 2, which performs photoelectric conversion on the processed optical signal to generate an electrical signal corresponding to the at least one optical signal.

[0043] The aforementioned optical signal transmission device includes an optical transmitter, an optical receiver, and an optical interface device. The optical transmitter is connected to an external light source via the optical interface device, and the optical transmitter is also connected to the optical receiver via the optical interface device. The optical interface device is a pluggable interface. Since the external light source can be pluggably connected or disconnected from the optical signal transmission device via the optical interface device in this embodiment, this embodiment can achieve a high-density integrated data network by using a pluggable optical module without a silicon photonics source to connect to an external light source. This reduces the power consumption of the cluster optical module and increases the lifespan of the pluggable optical module. Furthermore, by moving the laser externally, the operating conditions of the cluster optical module can be optimized, and the laser in the external light source can be individually cooled, further reducing the power consumption and maintenance costs of the system containing the optical module. Therefore, the optical signal transmission device can reduce the power consumption of the optical transceiver module.

The optical interface device 3 includes an external input interface 31, an internal input interface 32, a first internal output interface 33, and a second internal output interface 34. The optical transmitter 1 is connected to an external light source B via the external input interface 31 and the first internal output interface 33 through optical fiber. The optical transmitter 1 is connected to the optical receiver 2 via the internal input interface 32 and the second internal output interface 34 through optical fiber.

[0048] In one embodiment, combined Figure 3 As shown, the first internal output interface 33, the internal input interface 32, and the second internal output interface 34 are sequentially disposed on the first side of the optical interface device 3, and the external input interface 31 and the external output interface 35 are disposed on the second side of the optical interface device 3. The first side and the second side are opposite sides of the optical interface device 3.

[0049] In this embodiment, the optical interface device includes an external input interface, an internal input interface, a first internal output interface, a second internal output interface, and an external output interface. Through the multiple interfaces provided in the optical interface device, an external light source can be accurately and detachably connected to or disconnected from the optical signal transmission device, thereby enabling accurate and effective transmission of optical signals and photoelectric conversion.

[0050] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the connection between an optical signal transmission device and an external source in one embodiment. The optical signal transmission device A can be pluggably connected to an external device via an optical interface device 3 and an optical fiber. The optical signal transmission device A can also be pluggably connected to an external light source B via an optical interface device 3 and an optical fiber. In this way, the external light source B can transmit at least one optical signal to the optical signal transmission device A, and the optical signal transmission device A can transmit the data corresponding to the optical signal to the external device via an optical fiber.

The silicon photonic chip 11 is connected to the optical interface device 3 through the first fiber array assembly 12.

[0052] The silicon photonic chip 11 incorporates a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) and includes a multiplexer. The silicon photonic chip 11 is used to amplitude modulate at least one optical signal to obtain an amplitude-modulated optical signal. This amplitude-modulated optical signal is then transmitted to the optical interface device 3 via a first fiber optic array assembly 12 (TX FA, Transmit Fiber Array). The first fiber optic array assembly 12 includes a polarization-maintaining fiber for the incoming light (i.e., the incoming PIC light) and a single-mode fiber for the outgoing light.

[0053] In this embodiment, the optical transmitter includes a silicon photonic chip and a first fiber array assembly.

[0055] In this embodiment, the photodiode 21 (PD) receives the processed optical signal through the second fiber array assembly 22 (RX FA, Receive Fiber Array), performs photoelectric conversion on the processed optical signal to obtain a photoelectric converted electrical signal, and transmits the photoelectric converted electrical signal to the transimpedance amplifier 23. The linear transimpedance amplifier 23 (TIA) amplifies the photoelectric converted electrical signal to generate the electrical signal corresponding to the at least one optical signal. The second fiber array assembly 22 is a single-mode fiber, and the TX FA / RX FA optical signals are connected via an MPO (Multi-fiber Push On, a high-density fiber optic connector).

[0056] In this embodiment, the optical receiver includes a photodiode, a second fiber array assembly, and a transimpedance amplifier. Through the cooperation of the photodiode and the signal amplifier, the processed optical signal can be photoelectrically converted and amplified to generate an electrical signal corresponding to at least one optical signal.
