[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the integrated device carrying light energy and data includes: a photoelectric module 1, a photovoltaic module 2, a first interface unit 3, a second interface unit 4, a power management module 5, and an electrical component 6; the electrical component 6 includes a processor 61 connected to the photoelectric module 1, and both the photovoltaic module 2 and the electrical component 6 are connected to the power management module 5, the first interface unit 3 is connected to the photoelectric module 1, and the second interface unit 4 is connected to the photovoltaic module 2; the photoelectric module 1 is used to convert the first target beam of the first interface unit 3 into a target electrical signal and send the target electrical signal to the processor 61; wherein, the first target beam carries data information of an external device; the photovoltaic module 2 is used to convert the light energy corresponding to the second target beam of the second interface unit 4 into electrical energy and output the electrical energy to the power management module 5.

[0024] In this embodiment, the main body of the integrated device for carrying light energy and data can be an electronic device such as a television, camera, monitor, or PC that can interact with external devices or terminals for data information exchange. An optoelectronic module 1 and a photovoltaic module 2 are installed on the integrated device, along with an interface unit capable of receiving light signals. Different types of light are transmitted to the optoelectronic module 1 and the photovoltaic module 2 through the interface unit. Thus, the optoelectronic module 1 can convert the light signal carrying data information into an electrical signal for further processing and use by the processor 61, resulting in high data transmission efficiency. Furthermore, the photovoltaic module 2 can convert light energy into electrical energy, directly powering the various electronic components in the device without connecting to the power grid. Optical fiber can be used to transmit energy and data separately, without geographical limitations, and long-distance transmission of energy and data is more convenient.

[0025] In this embodiment, the electronic device also includes a housing. The optoelectronic module 1, photovoltaic module 2, and power management module 5 can all be installed inside the housing. There can be multiple electrical components 6, which can be electronic components installed inside the housing or assembled on the outside of the housing. For example, when the electronic device is a television, the electrical components 6 can also include audio equipment, a display, etc. The housing also has mounting ports, and the first interface unit 3 and the second interface unit 4 can be fixedly mounted onto these mounting ports. In this embodiment, the optical fiber used for transmitting energy and data information can be LC optical fiber or hollow optical fiber; there is no limitation. Correspondingly, the first interface unit 3 and the second interface unit 4 in this embodiment can be LC optical fiber interface units corresponding to LC optical fiber or hollow optical fiber interface units corresponding to hollow optical fiber. The optical fiber and the corresponding interface unit can be connected by a plug-in connection, making use and assembly simpler and more convenient.

[0026] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the integrated device for carrying optical energy and data also includes a transmission component 7. That is, the integrated device for carrying optical energy and data includes an electronic device and a transmission component 7. The electronic device can be plugged and plugged into the transmission component 7 through the first interface unit 3 and the second interface unit 4 to obtain energy and data information. The transmission component 7 includes a bundler 74, a first optical fiber segment 71, and a second optical fiber segment 72.

The bundler 74 is used to bundle the received superimposed beam into a first target beam and a second target beam, and outputs the first target beam to the first interface unit 3 and the second target beam to the second interface unit 4. The superimposed beam carries data information of the first wavelength and energy information of the second wavelength.

[0027] Specifically, energy and data can be transmitted simultaneously through the fiber optic transmission component 7, eliminating the need for external power lines to obtain power and data.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the beam splitter 74 further includes a first housing 741 and a first lens assembly 742. The input interface 743, the first output interface 744, and the second output interface 745 of the beam splitter 74 are all disposed on the first housing 741. A first mounting groove adapted to the first lens assembly 742 is formed in the first housing 741, and the first lens assembly 742 is installed in the first mounting groove. The input interface 743 is used to couple the superimposed beam to the lens assembly. The lens assembly is used to split the superimposed beam and output the split first target beam to the first interface unit 3, and output the split second target beam to the second interface unit 4.

Thus, the superimposed light beam entering from the input interface 743 can reach the optical modulator through the collimating lenses. The optical modulator can disperse the light of different wavelengths of the superimposed light beam, and then filter the dispersed light to select the desired different wavelengths of light beams, so that the light beams are focused onto the corresponding first output interface 744 and the second output interface 745, so as to be output through the corresponding first output interface 744 and the second output interface 745. In this embodiment, the optical modulator may be a prism, grating, interferometer, photoelectric modulator, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the transmission component 7 further includes a beam combiner 75. The third output interface 753 of the beam combiner 75 is connected to the input interface 743 of the deblurr 74 through the third optical fiber segment 73. The beam combiner 75 is used to receive a first input light beam and a second input light beam of different wavelengths, and convert the first input light beam and the second input light beam into a superimposed beam for output.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the transmission group 7 can simultaneously transmit high-power laser (power up to 100W or more) and low-power laser of other wavelengths (e.g., power of 10mW) on the same optical fiber (i.e., the third optical fiber segment 73). Then, the beam combiner 75 separates the light corresponding to the two wavelengths according to the wavelength, so that the high-power laser can be transmitted to the small-sized photovoltaic chip in the electronic device to generate electrical energy, with a conversion efficiency of up to 50%. The low-power laser carries digital information, which can be converted into a digital signal (greater than 1Gbps) by the optoelectronic module 1 for further processing and use by the processor 61 of the electronic device.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first fiber segment 71 is a hollow fiber; and / or, the second fiber segment 72 is a hollow fiber; and / or, the third fiber segment 73 is a hollow fiber. In some specific embodiments, the first fiber segment 71, the second fiber segment 72, and the third fiber segment 73 can all be hollow fibers, or they can be LC fibers; no limitation is made here. Preferably, hollow fiber can be selected as the third fiber segment 73 in this embodiment. Hollow fiber has outstanding advantages such as low loss, wide spectrum, enhanced nonlinear effect, strong power handling capability, and strong anti-interference capability.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the beam combiner 75 further includes a second lens assembly 752 and a second housing 751 provided with a third output interface 753; the second housing 751 has a second mounting groove adapted to the second lens assembly 752, and the second lens assembly 752 is fixed in the second mounting groove; the second housing 751 also includes a first light source input port and a second light source input port 754 arranged in different directions toward the lens assembly; the first light source input port is used to receive a first input beam of a first wavelength and couple the first input beam to the lens assembly; the second light source input port 754 is used to receive a second input beam of a second wavelength and couple the second input beam to the lens assembly; the second lens assembly 752 is used to combine the first input light beam and the second input light beam, and output the superimposed beam obtained after combining to the third optical fiber segment 73.

[0034] Specifically, the integrated device carrying optical energy and data can also include a high-power laser 9. In this embodiment, the second light source input port 754 can be connected to the high-power laser 9 via optical fiber. The first light source input port and the second light source input port 754 can couple the high-power laser and the low-power laser carrying data information to the second lens assembly 752 respectively. Then, the second lens assembly 752 can make the two parts of the laser interact and finally combine them together, and output them through the third output interface 753 of the beam combiner 75. In this embodiment, the beam demultiplexer 74 and the beam combiner 75 can be optical processing devices with the same structure. When the light is transmitted along different (opposite) paths in the two optical processing devices, the beam combining or demultiplexing function can be realized. That is, the second lens assembly 752 of the beam combiner 75 can also include collimating lenses, optical modulators, filters, etc. The specific assembly method can be referred to the structural description of the beam demultiplexer 74, which will not be repeated here.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first light source input port is located on one side of the second housing 751, and the second light source input port 754 and the third output interface 753 are respectively located at both ends of the second housing 751. The transmission component 7 also includes a circuit board 8 and a laser. The circuit board 8 is fixed to the side of the second housing 751 where the first light source input port is located, and the laser is fixed to the circuit board 8 and faces the second light source input port 754. Specifically, the laser corresponding to the first light source input port can be a VCSEL laser, and the circuit board 8 can control the VCSEL laser to output low-power laser of a specific wavelength.

[0036] In this embodiment, the photoelectric module 1 includes a photoelectric conversion device and a transimpedance amplifier. The photoelectric conversion device is connected to the first interface unit 3 and the transimpedance amplifier, and the transimpedance amplifier is also connected to the processor 61. The photoelectric conversion device is used to convert the first target beam into an initial electrical signal and output the initial electrical signal to the transimpedance amplifier. The transimpedance amplifier is used to convert the initial electrical signal into a target electrical signal that meets the preset amplitude requirements.

[0037] Specifically, the photoelectric conversion device can convert optical signals into electrical signals. In this embodiment, the photoelectric conversion device can be a photodiode (PD) or an avalanche photodiode (APD), etc., and there is no limitation thereto. For example, the transimpedance amplifier in this embodiment can be a TIA amplifier, which can amplify the signal, increase the amplitude and power of the signal, and enhance its anti-interference ability and subsequent processing capabilities.

[0038] In some embodiments of this example, the integrated device carrying optical energy and data further includes a demodulator connected between the optoelectronic module 1 and the processor 61; the demodulator is used to extract data information of the target electrical signal and output the data information to the processor 61. Specifically, the amplified electrical signal is still a modulated signal, and the original data information needs to be restored by a demodulation circuit. The demodulation method depends on the modulation method of the optical signal, which can be amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), phase modulation (PM), etc., and is not limited here. For example, when using an amplitude-modulated optical signal, the demodulator can extract the original data according to the amplitude change of the signal; when using a frequency-modulated or phase-modulated optical signal, demodulation is performed by the corresponding frequency or phase detection circuit. Further, the integrated device carrying optical energy and data may also include a decoder, which can decode the demodulated electrical signal to restore the digital signal to a data format that the device can understand for further use. For example, when the electronic device is a television or other display device, the decoder can use its decoding circuit or decoding chip to restore the digital signal to an audio and video data format that the television can understand.

[0039] In some embodiments of this example, the integrated device carrying both solar energy and data also includes an energy storage module connected to the power management module 5. Specifically, the energy storage module, also known as an energy storage battery, stores excess electrical energy to ensure continuous power supply when the device requires higher power. The power management module 5 in this embodiment may include power conversion and management circuitry. It can use devices such as DC-DC converters (e.g., DC-DC converters) or DC-AC inverters (e.g., DC-AC converters) to convert the unstable voltage output from the photovoltaic module 2 into a stable DC or AC voltage. It can also use a DC-DC chip to control the output value of each voltage path according to the power requirements of each electrical component 6.
