However, the drawings are provided for reference and illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of this disclosure. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0019] [Figure 1] It is a block diagram of the switch device of the present disclosure. [Figure 2] It is a block diagram of the linear drive pluggable optical device of the present disclosure. [Figure 3] It is a block diagram of the switch system of the present disclosure.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] In the present disclosure, many specific details are provided so that the embodiments of the present disclosure can be comprehensively understood. However, for those skilled in the art, as can be understood, the present disclosure can be implemented even if one or more of these specific details are absent. In other cases, well-known details are not shown or described in order to avoid obscuring the features of the present disclosure. The technical content and detailed description of the present disclosure are as follows and are explained by the accompanying drawings.

[0021] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the switch device 102 of the present disclosure, FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the linear drive pluggable optical (linear drive pluggable optics, generally abbreviated as LPO) device 108 of the present disclosure, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the switch system 10 of the present disclosure.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 3, the switch system 10 of the present disclosure includes a switch device 102 and a plurality of linear drive pluggable optical devices 108. The switch device 102 includes a digital signal processor 104, a look-up table 106, and a plurality of connection ports 116. Each of these linear drive pluggable optical devices 108 includes a microprocessor 110, a light source driver 118, and a transimpedance amplifier (generally abbreviated as TIA) 120.

[0023] These connection ports 116 are electrically connected to the digital signal processor 104, the microprocessor 110 is electrically connected to the light source driver 118 and the transimpedance amplifier 120, and when the linearly driven pluggable optical device 108 is inserted into the connection port 116, the microprocessor 110 is electrically connected to the digital signal processor 104 via the connection port 116.

[0024] When the linearly driven pluggable optical device 108 is inserted into the connection port 116 (for example, when the first linearly driven pluggable optical device 108 from left to right in FIG. 3 is inserted into the first connection port 116 from left to right in FIG. 3), the microprocessor 110 is configured to transmit an identification code 112 to the digital signal processor 104 via the connection port 116. The identification code 112 may include, for example, a manufacturer name and a product model number, but is not limited thereto in the present disclosure.

[0025] Thereafter, the digital signal processor 104 is configured to search for the optoelectronic parameters 114 of the manufacturer name and product model number corresponding to the connection port number 124 and the identification code 112 of the linearly driven pluggable optical device 108 in the look-up table 106. The connection port number 124 represents the number at which the linearly driven pluggable optical device 108 is inserted into the connection port 116, and the digital signal processor 104 always knows which port of these connection ports 116 the linearly driven pluggable optical device 108 is inserted into. The optoelectronic parameters 114 may include, for example, an emitted light power parameter, a laser operating voltage parameter, a laser operating current parameter, etc., but are not limited thereto in the present disclosure. The following table is a simple example of the look-up table 106.

[0026]

Table 1

[0027] As described above, when the linearly driven removable optical device 108 is inserted into the connection port 116 numbered 01, and the manufacturer name is the first manufacturer and the product model number is the first product model number, the digital signal processor 104 can look up the output light power parameter, the laser operating voltage parameter, and the laser operating current parameter in the lookup table 106 where the connection port number 124 is 01, the manufacturer name is the first manufacturer, and the product model number is the first product model number. That is, as shown in the table above, the output light power parameter, the laser operating voltage parameter, and the laser operating current parameter of the photoelectric parameter 114 are looked up as the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter, respectively.

[0028] In other words, a specific connection port 116 must be inserted by a linearly driven insertable optical device 108 having a specific identification code 112. For example, the connection port 116 number 01 must be inserted by a linearly driven insertable optical device 108 whose manufacturer name is the first manufacturer and whose product model number is the first product model number. The reason is the compatibility between the switch device 102 and the linearly driven insertable optical device 108, mainly the interlocking of the light emitted by the linearly driven insertable optical device 108 with the digital signal processor 104. Because the parameter settings of the first manufacturer and the second manufacturer may differ, a linearly driven insertable optical device 108 having any identification code 112 may not function correctly when inserted into the connection port 116 number 01. That is, the identification code 112 is similar to a key and can determine whether the connection port 116 is conductive or not.

[0029] The following is included in, but not limited to, one specific embodiment of the present disclosure, the lookup table 106 may be pre-filled and stored in the switch device 102, and if the digital signal processor 104 cannot find the corresponding connection port number 124, manufacturer name and product model number in the lookup table 106, the switch device 102 will issue a warning, for example, if the connection port number 124 is 01 but the manufacturer name is the second manufacturer, the switch device 102 will issue a warning, and for example, if the connection port number 124 is 02 but the product model number is the third product model number, the switch device 102 will issue a warning.

[0030] Next, the digital signal processor 104 is configured to transmit the photoelectric parameter 114 to the microprocessor 110 via the connection port 116, that is, the digital signal processor 104 is configured to notify the microprocessor 110 of the photoelectric parameter 114 via the connection port 116, or in other words, the digital signal processor 104 is configured to write the photoelectric parameter 114 to the microprocessor 110 via the connection port 116.

[0031] The microprocessor 110 is configured to store the photoelectric parameters 114 and to control the light source driver 118, the transimpedance amplifier 120, and other general components belonging to a common linear drive insertable optics system not shown in Figure 2 or Figure 3 (i.e., the microprocessor 110 is configured to use the photoelectric parameters 114 to control the light source driver 118, the transimpedance amplifier 120, and other general components belonging to a common linear drive insertable optics system not shown in Figure 2 or Figure 3).

[0032] Finally, in order to verify whether the linearly driven insertable optical device 108 is operating correctly, the linearly driven insertable optical device 108 is configured to transmit digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) data 122 to the digital signal processor 104, which is configured to determine whether the digital diagnostic monitoring data 122 is within the specified range, and if the digital diagnostic monitoring data 122 is not within the specified range (i.e., the digital diagnostic monitoring data 122 is not within the specified range), the digital signal processor 104 adjusts the photoelectric parameter 114 and transmits the adjusted photoelectric parameter 114 to the microprocessor 110, and then the linearly driven insertable optical device 108 is configured to transmit the digital diagnostic monitoring data 122 to the digital signal processor 104 again.

[0033] The digital diagnostic monitoring data 122 may include, but is not limited to, temperature data, emitted light power data, received light power data, voltage data, current data, etc. If the digital diagnostic monitoring data 122 is determined to be within the specified range, the linear driveable optical device 108 is determined to be operating correctly. If the number of times the digital signal processor 104 adjusts the photoelectric parameter 114 exceeds a predetermined number, but the digital diagnostic monitoring data 122 is still not within the specified range, the digital diagnostic monitoring data 122 is determined to be abnormal.

[0034] After the first linearly driven insertable optical device 108 in Figure 3, from left to right, completes the above operation flow, each of the remaining linearly driven insertable optical devices 108 in Figure 3 is also configured to transmit the identification code 112 to the digital signal processor 104 to sequentially acquire the photoelectric parameters 114, and to determine whether the digital diagnostic monitoring data 122 is within the specified range (i.e., the above operation flow is repeated).

[0035] As shown again in Figure 3, the switching device 102 of the present disclosure is applied to a plurality of linearly driven insertable optical devices 108, and includes a lookup table 106, a digital signal processor 104, and a plurality of connection ports 116, each of which includes a microprocessor 110, a light source driver 118, and a transimpedance amplifier 120.

[0036] These connection ports 116 are electrically connected to the digital signal processor 104, and when the linearly driven removable optical device 108 is inserted into the connection ports 116, the digital signal processor 104 is electrically connected to the microprocessor 110 via the connection ports 116.

[0037] The microprocessor 110 transmits the identification code 112 to the switch device 102, that is, the digital signal processor 104 receives the identification code 112 transmitted from the microprocessor 110 via the connection port 116, and the digital signal processor 104 is configured to look up the connection port number 124 of the linear drive-removable optical device 108 and the photoelectric parameter 114 corresponding to the identification code 112 in the lookup table 106, and to transmit the photoelectric parameter 114 to the microprocessor 110 via the connection port 116.

[0038] The linearly driven insertable optical device 108 transmits digital diagnostic monitoring data 122 to the digital signal processor 104, which is configured to determine whether the digital diagnostic monitoring data 122 is within a specified range. If the digital diagnostic monitoring data 122 is not within a specified range, the digital signal processor 104 is configured to adjust the photoelectric parameters 114 and transmit the adjusted photoelectric parameters 114 to the microprocessor 110. The digital diagnostic monitoring data 122 includes temperature data, emitted light power data, received light power data, voltage data, and current data, and the photoelectric parameters 114 include emitted light power parameters, laser operating voltage parameters, and laser operating current parameters.

[0039] Other technical details of the switch device 102 of this disclosure are the same as those of the switch system 10 of this disclosure, and therefore will not be described here.

[0040] As shown again in Figure 3, the linearly driven insertable optical device 108 of the present disclosure is applied to a switch device 102 and includes a microprocessor 110, a light source driver 118 and a transimpedance amplifier 120, the switch device 102 including a digital signal processor 104 and a lookup table 106.

[0041] The microprocessor 110 is electrically connected to the light source driver 118 and the transimpedance amplifier 120, and when the linear driveable optical device 108 is inserted into the switch device 102, the microprocessor 110 is electrically connected to the digital signal processor 104.

[0042] The microprocessor 110 is configured to transmit an identification code 112 to the digital signal processor 104, which then retrieves photoelectric parameters 114 corresponding to the connection port number 124 and identification code 112 of the linear drive-removable optical device 108 in the lookup table 106, and transmits the photoelectric parameters 114 to the microprocessor 110, which is configured to store the photoelectric parameters 114 and to control the light source driver 118 and the transimpedance amplifier 120 with the photoelectric parameters 114, the photoelectric parameters 114 including an output light power parameter, a laser operating voltage parameter, and a laser operating current parameter.

[0043] Other technical details of the linearly driven insertable optical device 108 of this disclosure are the same as those of the switch system 10 of this disclosure, and are therefore omitted from this description.

[0044] In this disclosure, the switch device 102 and the linearly driven insertable optical device 108 described herein will always include other general switches and general components belonging to general linearly driven insertable optics not shown in Figures 1, 2, or 3 in order to maintain the general operation of the switch device 102 and the linearly driven insertable optical device 108, and general components will not be described here in order to avoid obscuring the features of this disclosure.

[0045] The switch device 102 may include a plurality of digital signal processors 104 (e.g., four) to correspond to these linearly driven insertable optical devices 108. For example, if the switch system 10 includes 32 of these linearly driven insertable optical devices 108, one digital signal processor 104 corresponds to eight of these linearly driven insertable optical devices 108.

[0046] The effect of this disclosure is to reduce the power consumption of the switch system 10. These linearly driven insertable optical devices 108 of this disclosure can operate by sharing the digital signal processor 104 with the lookup table 106, thereby significantly reducing the power consumption of the switch system 10 of this disclosure. This disclosure is applicable not only to linearly driven insertable devices but also to co-packaged optics (commonly abbreviated as CPO).

Since those skilled in the art may conceive of other substitutions and modifications, it should be understood that all such substitutions and modifications are included within the scope of the present disclosure.
