AI Technical Summary
During high-speed signal transmission in existing optical modules, the heat generated by the DSP chip is difficult to dissipate, resulting in serious electrical signal interference and limiting the signal transmission rate.
The first and second optical transceiver components are separately arranged and located at different positions of the circuit board. They are in contact with the lower surface of the circuit board through the heat-conducting component. Combined with the design of the upper and lower shells, heat distribution and heat dissipation are achieved, the wiring distance between the DSP chip and the optical transceiver components is reduced, and electrical signal interference is reduced.
Effective heat dissipation reduces electrical signal interference between the DSP chip and the optical transceiver components, and improves the signal transmission rate and stability of the optical module.

[0077] Some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments provided in the present disclosure are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0078] Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "including" is to be interpreted as open and inclusive, that is, "including, but not limited to"; the terms "first" and "second" are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or indicating an upper limit on quantity; the term "plurality" means two or more; the term "connected" is to be understood in a broad sense, for example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection, and can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; the use of the terms "suitable for" or "configured to" means open and inclusive language, which does not exclude equipment that is suitable for or configured to perform additional tasks or steps; terms such as "parallel", "perpendicular", "same", "consistent", "level" and so on are not limited to absolute mathematical theoretical relationships, but also include acceptable error ranges generated in practice, and also include differences based on the same design concept but due to manufacturing reasons.
[0079] In optical communication technology, to establish information transmission between information processing devices, it is necessary to load the information onto light and use the propagation of light to achieve information transmission. Here, the light loaded with information is an optical signal. When transmitting optical signals within information transmission equipment, they can reduce optical power loss, thereby enabling high-speed, long-distance, and low-cost information transmission. The signals that information processing equipment can recognize and process are electrical signals. Information processing equipment typically includes optical network units (ONUs), gateways, routers, switches, mobile phones, computers, servers, tablets, televisions, etc., and information transmission equipment typically includes optical fibers and optical waveguides.
[0080] Optical modules can convert optical signals into electrical signals between information processing devices and information transmission devices. For example, at least one of the optical signal input or output ends of an optical module is connected to an optical fiber, and at least one of the electrical signal input or output ends of the optical module is connected to an optical network terminal. A first optical signal from the optical fiber is transmitted to the optical module, which converts the first optical signal into a first electrical signal and transmits the first electrical signal to the optical network terminal. A second electrical signal from the optical network terminal is transmitted to the optical module, which converts the second electrical signal into a second optical signal and transmits the second optical signal to the optical fiber. Because multiple information processing devices can transmit information via electrical signals, at least one of the multiple information processing devices needs to be directly connected to the optical module, rather than all of them. Here, the information processing device directly connected to the optical module is referred to as the optical module's host computer. Furthermore, the optical signal input or output end of the optical module can be referred to as an optical port, and the electrical signal input or output end of the optical module can be referred to as an electrical port.
[0081] Figure 1 is a partial structural diagram of an optical communication system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1 , the optical communication system mainly includes a remote information processing device 1000, a local information processing device 2000, a host computer 100, an optical module 200, an optical fiber 101, and a network cable 103.
[0082] One end of optical fiber 101 extends toward remote information processing device 1000, and the other end of optical fiber 101 is connected to optical module 200 through the optical port of optical module 200. Optical signals can be totally reflected in optical fiber 101, and the propagation of the optical signal in the direction of total reflection can almost maintain the original optical power. The optical signal undergoes multiple total reflections in optical fiber 101 to transmit the optical signal from remote information processing device 1000 to optical module 200, and vice versa, thereby achieving long-distance, low-power information transmission.
[0083] The optical communication system may include one or more optical fibers 101, and the optical fibers 101 may be detachably connected or fixedly connected to the optical module 200. The host computer 100 is configured to provide data signals to the optical module 200, receive data signals from the optical module 200, or monitor or control the operating status of the optical module 200.
[0084] The host computer 100 includes a substantially rectangular housing and an optical module interface 102 disposed on the housing. The optical module interface 102 is configured to connect to the optical module 200 to establish a unidirectional or bidirectional electrical signal connection between the host computer 100 and the optical module 200.
[0085] The host computer 100 also includes an external electrical interface that can access an electrical signal network. For example, the external electrical interface includes a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface or a network cable interface 104. The network cable interface 104 is configured to access a network cable 103 so that the host computer 100 establishes a unidirectional or bidirectional electrical signal connection with the network cable 103. One end of the network cable 103 is connected to the local information processing device 2000, and the other end of the network cable 103 is connected to the host computer 100, so that an electrical signal connection is established between the local information processing device 2000 and the host computer 100 via the network cable 103. For example, a third electrical signal emitted by the local information processing device 2000 is transmitted to the host computer 100 via the network cable 103. The host computer 100 generates a second electrical signal based on the third electrical signal. The second electrical signal from the host computer 100 is transmitted to the optical module 200. The optical module 200 converts the second electrical signal into a second optical signal and transmits the second optical signal to the optical fiber 101. The second optical signal is then transmitted to the remote information processing device 1000 via the optical fiber 101. For example, a first optical signal from the remote information processing device 1000 is transmitted through the optical fiber 101. The first optical signal from the optical fiber 101 is transmitted to the optical module 200. The optical module 200 converts the first optical signal into a first electrical signal. The optical module 200 transmits the first electrical signal to the host computer 100. The host computer 100 generates a fourth electrical signal based on the first electrical signal and transmits the fourth electrical signal to the local information processing device 2000. It should be noted that optical modules are tools for converting optical signals into electrical signals. During this conversion process, the information does not change, but the encoding and decoding methods of the information can change.
[0086] In addition to the optical network terminal, the host computer 100 also includes an optical line terminal (OLT), an optical network device (ONT), or a data center server.
[0087] FIG2 is a partial structural diagram of a host computer provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In order to clearly illustrate the connection relationship between the optical module 200 and the host computer 100, FIG2 only shows the structure of the host computer 100 related to the optical module 200. As shown in FIG2, the host computer 100 also includes a PCB circuit board 105 disposed within the housing, a cage 106 disposed on the surface of the PCB circuit board 105, a heat sink 107 disposed on the cage 106, and an electrical connector disposed within the cage 106. The electrical connector is configured to connect to the electrical port of the optical module 200; the heat sink 107 has a protruding structure such as fins that increase the heat dissipation area.
[0088] The optical module 200 is inserted into the cage 106 of the host computer 100. The cage 106 secures the optical module 200. Heat generated by the optical module 200 is transferred to the cage 106 and then dissipated through the heat sink 107. After the optical module 200 is inserted into the cage 106, the electrical port of the optical module 200 connects with the electrical connector inside the cage 106, thereby establishing a bidirectional electrical signal connection between the optical module 200 and the host computer 100. Furthermore, the optical port of the optical module 200 connects to the optical fiber 101, thereby establishing a bidirectional optical signal connection between the optical module 200 and the optical fiber 101.
[0089] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of an optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the optical module 200 includes a housing, a circuit board 300 disposed within the housing, a light emitting component, and a light receiving component. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the optical module 200 includes either the light emitting component or the light receiving component.
[0090] In some examples, the optical module 200 includes a first optical transceiver component 400 and a second optical transceiver component 500 .
[0091] In some examples, the first optical transceiver component 400 may include a first optical transmitting component.
[0092] In some examples, the first optical transceiver component 400 may include a first optical receiver component.
[0093] In some examples, the second optical transceiver component 500 may include a second optical transmitting component.
[0094] In some examples, the second optical transceiver component 500 may include a second optical receiver component.
[0095] The housing includes an upper housing 201 and a lower housing 202 . The upper housing 201 covers the lower housing 202 to form the housing having two openings 204 and 205 . The outer contour of the housing is generally a square.
[0096] In some embodiments, the lower shell 202 includes a base plate 2021 and two lower side plates 2022 located on both sides of the base plate 2021 and arranged perpendicular to the base plate 2021; the upper shell 201 includes a cover plate 2011, and the cover plate 2011 covers the two lower side plates 2022 of the lower shell 202 to form the above-mentioned shell.
[0097] In some embodiments, the lower shell 202 includes a base plate 2021 and two lower side plates 2022 located on both sides of the base plate 2021 and arranged perpendicularly to the base plate 2021; the upper shell 201 includes a cover plate 2011 and two upper side plates located on both sides of the cover plate 2011 and arranged perpendicularly to the cover plate 2011. The two upper side plates are combined with the two lower side plates 2022 to achieve the upper shell 201 covering the lower shell 202.
[0098] The direction of the line connecting the two openings 204 and 205 can be aligned with or inconsistent with the length of the optical module 200. For example, opening 204 is located at the end of the optical module 200 (the right end in FIG3 ), and opening 205 is also located at the end of the optical module 200 (the left end in FIG3 ). Alternatively, opening 204 is located at the end of the optical module 200, while opening 205 is located on the side of the optical module 200. Opening 204 is an electrical port, from which the gold finger 301 of the circuit board 300 extends and is inserted into the electrical connector of the host computer 100. Opening 205 is an optical port, configured to receive an external optical fiber 101, so that the optical fiber 101 connects the first optical transceiver component 400 and the second optical transceiver component 500 in the optical module 200.
[0099] The combined assembly of the upper housing 201 and the lower housing 202 facilitates installation of the circuit board 300, the first optical transceiver component 400, the second optical transceiver component 500, and the like within the housing. The upper housing 201 and the lower housing 202 provide encapsulation and protection for these components. Furthermore, during assembly of the circuit board 300, the first optical transceiver component 400, and the second optical transceiver component 500, the positioning components, heat dissipation components, and electromagnetic shielding components of these components are easily positioned, facilitating automated production.
[0100] In some embodiments, the upper shell 201 and the lower shell 202 are made of metal materials, which facilitates electromagnetic shielding and heat dissipation.
[0101] In some embodiments, the optical module 200 further includes an unlocking component 600 located outside its housing. The unlocking component 600 is configured to achieve a fixed connection between the optical module 200 and the host computer, or to release the fixed connection between the optical module 200 and the host computer.
[0102] For example, the unlocking component 600 is located on the outside of the two lower side panels 2022 of the lower housing 202 and includes a snap-fit component that mates with the cage 106 of the host computer 100. When the optical module 200 is inserted into the cage 106, the snap-fit component of the unlocking component 600 secures the optical module 200 in the cage 106. When the unlocking component 600 is pulled, the snap-fit component of the unlocking component 600 moves accordingly, thereby changing the connection between the snap-fit component and the host computer, thereby releasing the optical module 200 from the cage 106 and allowing the optical module 200 to be removed from the cage 106.
[0103] The circuit board 300 includes circuit traces, electronic components, and chips. The electronic components and chips are connected according to the circuit design through the circuit traces to achieve functions such as power supply, electrical signal transmission, and grounding. Electronic components may include, for example, capacitors, resistors, transistors, and metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). Chips may include, for example, microcontroller units (MCUs), laser driver chips, transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), limiting amplifiers (LIAs), clock and data recovery chips (CDRs), power management chips, and digital signal processing (DSP) chips.
[0104] The circuit board 300 is generally a rigid circuit board. Due to its relatively hard material, the rigid circuit board can also realize the load-bearing function. For example, the rigid circuit board can stably carry the above-mentioned electronic components and chips; the rigid circuit board can also be inserted into the electrical connector in the cage 106 of the host computer 100.
[0105] The circuit board 300 also includes a gold finger 301 formed on its end surface, and the gold finger 301 is composed of a plurality of independent pins. The circuit board 300 is inserted into the cage 106, and the gold finger 301 is connected to the electrical connector in the cage 106. The gold finger 301 can be set only on the surface of one side of the circuit board 300 (for example, the upper surface shown in Figure 4), or it can be set on the upper and lower surfaces of the circuit board 300 to provide a larger number of pins, thereby adapting to occasions where a large number of pins are required. The gold finger 301 is configured to establish an electrical connection with the host computer to achieve power supply, grounding, two-wire synchronous serial (Inter-Integrated Circuit, I2C) signal transmission, data signal transmission, etc. Of course, flexible circuit boards are also used in some optical modules. Flexible circuit boards are generally used in conjunction with rigid circuit boards to supplement rigid circuit boards.
[0106] In some examples, at least one of the light emitting component or the light receiving component can be directly disposed on the circuit board 300. For example, at least one of the light emitting component or the light receiving component can be disposed on a surface of the circuit board 300 or a side of the circuit board 300.
[0107] In some examples, the optical module 200 may also include a first optical transceiver component 400 and a second optical transceiver component 500, and the first optical transceiver component 400 and the second optical transceiver component 500 are arranged on the circuit board 300, thereby improving the transmission rate of the optical module 200; for example, the first optical transceiver component 400 realizes the transmission of 400Gbit / s signal, and the second optical transceiver component 500 realizes the transmission of 400Gbit / s signal, so that the signal transmission rate of the optical module is 800Gbit / s.
[0108] In some examples, at least one of the first optical transceiver component 400 or the second optical transceiver component 500 is located on a side of the circuit board 300 away from the gold finger 301 .
[0109] In some embodiments, the first optical transceiver component 400 and the second optical transceiver component 500 are physically separated from the circuit board 300 and then electrically connected to the circuit board 300 through corresponding flexible circuit boards or electrical connectors.
[0110] In some embodiments, at least one of the first optical transceiver component 400 or the second optical transceiver component 500 may be directly disposed on the circuit board 300. For example, at least one of the first optical transceiver component 400 or the second optical transceiver component 500 may be disposed on a surface of the circuit board 300 or a side of the circuit board 300.
[0111] In some examples, the circuit board 300 is equipped with a DSP chip. The DSP chip processes electrical signals transmitted to the first optical transceiver component 400 and the second optical transceiver component 500, or processes electrical signals transmitted from the first optical transceiver component 400 and the second optical transceiver component 500 to the gold finger. When processing signals, the DSP chip generates a large amount of heat. To meet the requirements of high-speed signal transmission, an integrated DSP chip is often used, combining multiple functional units into a single package.
[0112] In some examples, the first optical transmitter of the first optical transceiver 400 corresponds to a DSP chip, the first optical receiver corresponds to a DSP chip, and the second optical transmitter of the second optical transceiver 500 corresponds to a DSP chip, the second optical receiver corresponds to a DSP chip. In this way, multiple DSP chips are integrated and packaged into a single chip, which is then mounted on the circuit board 300 and electrically connected to the traces on the circuit board 300 to process the electrical signals output by the gold finger.
[0113] In some examples, the DSP chip can transmit the processed electrical signal to the gold finger.
[0114] In some examples, multiple DSP chips are relatively concentrated on the circuit board 300. The heat generated during operation is concentrated on the circuit board 300, which is difficult to dissipate. As a result, the heat dissipation effect of the optical module is poor, which limits the transmission of high-speed signals.
[0115] In some examples, the integrated DSP chip combines multiple functional units and packages them into one chip, resulting in a larger integrated packaged chip. In order to avoid other electrical components on the circuit board 300, the integrated DSP chip needs to be set in a relatively fixed position on the circuit board 300, resulting in a longer routing distance between the DSP chip and the first optical transmission component of the first optical transceiver component 400 or the second optical transmission component of the second optical transceiver component 500. The electrical signal transmitted on the routing between the DSP chip and the laser driver chip is easily interfered with, which is not conducive to the transmission of high-speed signals.

[0194] In some examples, the laser signal emitted by the first optical transmission assembly can be transmitted, reflected, and focused by the first lens assembly 410 and then transmitted to the internal transmission optical fiber ribbon. For example, the laser signal can be transmitted to the first transmission optical fiber ribbon, which is connected to a fiber optic adapter, thereby transmitting the optical signal to an external optical fiber connected to the fiber optic adapter to achieve optical signal transmission.
[0195] In some examples, the external optical fiber transmits the optical signal to the optical fiber adapter, and the internal receiving optical fiber ribbon connected to the optical fiber adapter, such as the first receiving optical fiber ribbon, transmits the optical signal to the first lens assembly 410. The first lens assembly 410 converges, reflects and transmits the received optical signal and then incidents it into the first optical receiving component provided on the circuit board 300. The first optical receiving component converts the optical signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the gold finger 301.
[0196] In some examples, the structure of the second optical transceiver component 500 may be the same as or similar to that of the first optical transceiver component 400 . For example, the second optical transceiver component 500 may include: a second lens assembly 510 .
[0197] In some examples, the second lens assembly 510 can be disposed on the second light emitting assembly and the second light receiving assembly. The second lens assembly 510 can package the second light emitting assembly and the second light receiving assembly on a circuit board.

[0200] In some examples, the first chipset 420 is electrically connected between the first optical transceiver component 400 and the gold finger 301. It is understood that the first chipset 420 generates heat when processing and transmitting electrical signals.
[0201] In some examples, the first chipset 420 may be a DSP chip corresponding to the first optical transceiver component 400 . For example, the first chipset 420 may include a DSP chip corresponding to the first optical transmitting component and a DSP chip corresponding to the first optical receiving component.
[0202] In some examples, the third optical chip assembly 501 and the fourth optical chip assembly 502 can be constructed to form a second chipset 520 .
[0203] In some examples, the second chipset 520 is electrically connected between the second optical transceiver component 500 and the gold finger 301 . It is understandable that the second chipset 520 generates heat when processing and transmitting electrical signals.
[0204] In some examples, the second chipset 520 may be a DSP chip corresponding to the second optical transceiver component 500 .

[0206] In some examples, the first lens assembly 410 can be covered on the first chipset 420, thereby packaging the first chipset 420 on the circuit board 300; that is, in some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first chipset 420 can be packaged on the circuit board 300 together with the first optical transmitting assembly and the first optical receiving assembly through the first lens assembly 410.
[0207] In some examples, the second lens assembly 510 can cover the second chipset 520, thereby packaging the second chipset 520 on the circuit board 300. That is, in some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second chipset 520 can be packaged on the circuit board 300 together with the second optical transmitter assembly and the second optical receiver assembly through the second lens assembly 510. This allows the first chipset 420 and the second chipset 520 to be separately packaged at different locations on the circuit board 300. This allows the heat generated by the first chipset 420 and the second chipset 520 during operation to be distributed at different locations on the circuit board 300. The heat on the circuit board 300 is dispersed, which is beneficial for heat dissipation of the optical module and the transmission of high-speed signals.
[0208] In some examples, the first chipset 420, the first optical transmitting component and the first optical receiving component are packaged on the circuit board 300 through the first lens component 410, which shortens the routing distance between the first chipset 420 and the first optical transmitting component, so that the routing distance between the first chipset 420 and the first optical transmitting component is smaller than the routing distance between the first chipset 420 and the gold finger 301, thereby improving the anti-interference capability of the electrical signal between the first chipset 420 and the first transmitting component; the second chipset 520, the second optical transmitting component and the second optical receiving component are packaged on the circuit board 300 through the second lens component 510, which shortens the routing distance between the second chipset 520 and the second optical transmitting component, so that the routing distance between the second chipset 520 and the second optical transmitting component is smaller than the routing distance between the second chipset 520 and the gold finger 301, thereby improving the anti-interference capability of the electrical signal between the second chipset 520 and the second optical transmitting component.
[0209] In some examples, the structures of the first optical transceiver component 400 and the second optical transceiver component 500 may be the same or similar; for ease of description, in some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first optical transceiver component 400 is used as a specific example for description.
[0210] In some examples, the first light emitting assembly may include a first laser chip 431. The first laser chip 431 is disposed on the circuit board 300 and may emit a laser signal.
[0211] In some examples, the first laser chip 431 can emit four laser signals.
[0212] In some examples, the first light receiving component includes a first light receiving chip 432. The first light receiving chip 432 is disposed on the circuit board 300 and can receive laser signals.
[0213] In some examples, the first optical receiver chip 432 can receive four laser signals. It is understood that in some examples of the presently disclosed embodiments, the wavelengths of the four laser signals emitted by the first laser chip 431 can be different, and the wavelengths of the four laser signals received by the first optical receiver chip 432 can also be different.
[0214] In some examples, the first laser chip 431 and the first light receiving chip 432 may be arranged side by side on the circuit board 300 .
[0215] In some examples, the first chipset 420 and the second chipset 520 may be identical or similar. For ease of description, the first chipset 420 is used as a specific example. The first chipset 420 may include a first sub-chip 421 and a second sub-chip 422. The first sub-chip 421 is electrically connected between the first laser chip 431 and the gold finger 301. In some examples, the first sub-chip 421 may be wire-bonded to the first laser chip 431, thereby electrically connecting the first sub-chip 421 to the first laser chip 431. Alternatively, the first sub-chip 421 may be wire-bonded to a trace on the circuit board 300, thereby electrically connecting the first sub-chip 421 to the gold finger 301.
[0216] In some examples, the first lens assembly may have a first groove, and the first laser chip 431 and the first light receiving chip 432 may be located in the first groove.
[0217] In some examples, the first lens assembly may have a second groove, the second groove being connected to the first groove, and a first accommodating cavity being formed between the second groove, the first groove, and the circuit board.
[0218] In some examples, the first sub-chip 421 may be located in the second cavity.
[0219] In some examples, the second sub-chip 422 may be located in the second cavity.
[0220] In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a bonding height between the first sub-chip 421 and the trace is higher than a bottom wall height of the first groove.
[0221] In some examples, the bonding height between the second sub-chip 422 and the trace is higher than the bottom wall height of the first groove.
[0222] It can be understood that the first laser chip 431 needs to emit an optical signal under the drive of the laser driver chip. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first sub-chip 421 can be a first bare chip integrating the first laser driver chip and the DSP chip. After the first bare chip integrating the first laser driver chip and the DSP chip is set on the circuit board 300, it is packaged on the circuit board 300 through the first lens assembly 410.
[0223] In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second sub-chip 422 is electrically connected between the first light receiving chip and the gold finger 301. In some examples, the second sub-chip 422 can be wire-bonded to the first light receiving chip 432, so that the second sub-chip 422 is electrically connected to the first light receiving chip 432; in addition, the first sub-chip 421 can be electrically connected to the traces on the circuit board 300 by wire bonding, so that the first sub-chip 421 is electrically connected to the gold finger 301.
[0224] In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the bonding height between the second sub-chip 422 and the trace is higher than the bottom wall height of the first groove.
[0225] It is understood that after receiving the optical signal, the first optical receiver chip 432 needs to amplify the electrical signal through the TIA. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second sub-chip 422 can be a second bare chip that integrates the TIA and DSP chip. In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first laser chip 431, the first bare chip, the first optical receiver chip 432, and the second bare chip can be packaged on the circuit board 300 via the first lens assembly 410, thereby forming the first optical transceiver component 400.
[0226] Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view of the first and second optical transceiver components mating with a circuit board in an optical module provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 13 is a partially enlarged view of point B in Figure 12 . In some examples of the present disclosure, with reference to Figures 12 and 13 , for ease of illustration, the present disclosure uses the mating of the first optical transceiver component 400 with the circuit board 300 as an example. After the first lens assembly 410 is positioned on the circuit board 300, a first accommodating cavity 404 can be formed between the first lens assembly 410 and the circuit board 300. For example, in some examples, a groove can be provided on the circuit board 300, and the first lens assembly 410 can be positioned over the notch of the groove, thereby forming the first accommodating cavity 404. The first optical transmitting assembly and the first optical receiving assembly can be positioned within the first accommodating cavity 404; in addition, the first chipset 420 can also be positioned within the first accommodating cavity 404. Specifically, the first laser chip, the first sub-chip, the first optical receiving chip, and the second sub-chip are packaged on the circuit board 300 via the first lens assembly 410.
[0227] It will be appreciated that in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the structures of the first optical transceiver component 400 and the second optical transceiver component 500 can be identical or similar. Therefore, after the second lens assembly 510 is positioned on the circuit board 300, a second accommodating cavity 504 can be formed between the second lens assembly 510 and the circuit board 300. The second optical transmitting assembly, the second optical receiving assembly, and the second chipset 520 can be positioned within the second accommodating cavity 504. This allows the first chipset and the second chipset to be positioned at different locations on the circuit board 300, facilitating the distribution of heat generated by the operation of the first chipset and the second chipset to different locations on the circuit board 300. This facilitates heat dissipation from the optical module and facilitates high-speed signal transmission. In some examples of the present disclosure, the second accommodating cavity 504 can be formed in the same or similar manner as the first accommodating cavity 404. For example, a groove can be provided on the circuit board 300, with the second lens assembly 510 positioned to cover the notch of the groove, thereby forming the second accommodating cavity 504.

Referring to Figures 14-16, in some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the structures of the first lens assembly 410 and the second lens assembly can be the same or similar. In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first lens assembly 410 is used as a specific example for description. The first lens assembly 410 has a first groove 411 and a second groove 412. The first groove 411 and the second groove 412 are connected. In some examples, the first groove 411 and the second groove 412 are formed on the side of the first lens assembly 410 facing the circuit board, so that after the first lens assembly 410 is set on the circuit board, a first accommodating cavity is formed between the first groove 411 and the second groove 412 and the circuit board.
[0229] In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first laser chip and the first light receiving chip can be located in the first groove 411; that is, when the first lens assembly 410 is connected to the circuit board, the first groove 411 can be inverted on the side of the first laser chip and the first light receiving chip facing away from the circuit board.
[0230] In some examples, the first groove 411 may include a first sub-groove 4111 and a second sub-groove 4112. The first laser chip and the first light receiving chip may be arranged side by side on the circuit board, and the first sub-groove 4111 and the second sub-groove 4112 may be arranged along the arrangement direction of the first laser chip and the first light receiving chip. The first sub-groove 4111 may be inverted on the side of the first light receiving chip facing away from the circuit board, and the second sub-groove 4112 may be inverted on the side of the first laser chip facing away from the circuit board; that is, the first light receiving chip is located within the first sub-groove 4111, and the first laser chip is located within the second sub-groove 4112.
[0231] In some examples, the bottom wall of the second sub-recess 4112 is provided with a second converging lens 4114, which is configured to converge the laser beam emitted by the first laser chip. As described in detail in the previous embodiments of the present disclosure, the first laser chip can emit four laser beams of different wavelengths; therefore, four second converging lenses 4114 can be provided, each converging four laser beams of different wavelengths. It is understood that the number of second converging lenses 4114 can also be six, eight, etc. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of second converging lenses 4114 is not limited. As shown in Figure 13, the laser beam converged by the second converging lens 4143 can propagate within the first lens assembly 410.
[0232] It is understood that the four beams of different wavelengths emitted by the first laser chip propagate outward to another receiving device, such as another optical module connected to a host computer. Generally, the receiving device has a certain upper threshold for the optical power it can receive. In other words, the optical power of the beams emitted by the first laser chip that reach the second converging lens 4114 must be controlled within a certain range to prevent the optical power from exceeding the upper threshold of the receiving device and causing damage to the receiving device.
[0233] To this end, in some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the bottom wall of the second sub-recess 4112 may be provided with a light-absorbing layer (not shown in the figure), wherein the second converging lens 4114 protrudes from the light-absorbing layer. That is to say, in some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the light-absorbing layer may be provided at a position other than the second converging lens 4114; or, the second converging lens 4114 is not provided with a light-absorbing layer. In this way, the light-absorbing layer can absorb part of the divergent light beam emitted by the first laser chip, so that the optical power of the light beam entering the second converging lens is within the receiving optical power range of the receiving device, which can effectively protect the receiving device from damage. In some examples, the light-absorbing layer may be a plating layer, a coating layer, a spray layer, or an adhesive layer.
[0234] In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second sub-groove 4112 can be connected to the first sub-groove 4111. It is understood that in some examples, the second sub-groove 4112 and the first sub-groove 4111 can also be isolated from each other. By setting the second sub-groove 4112 and the first sub-groove 4111 to be connected to each other, when the second sub-groove 4112 and the first sub-groove 4111 are processed and produced, the second sub-groove 4112 and the first sub-groove 4111 can be processed and formed at the same time, saving the process of processing the first sub-groove 4111 and the second sub-groove 4112, thereby reducing the production and processing costs of the first lens assembly 410.
[0235] In some examples, the bottom wall of the first sub-recess 4111 is provided with a first converging lens 4113, and the first converging lens 4113 is configured to converge the laser beam onto the first light receiving chip. As described in detail in the aforementioned embodiment of the present disclosure, the first light receiving chip can receive 4 receiving laser beams of different wavelengths. Therefore, 4 first converging lenses 4113 can also be provided, and the 4 first converging lenses 4113 respectively converge the 4 receiving laser beams of different wavelengths onto the first light receiving chip. It can be understood that the number of first converging lenses 4113 can also be other numbers, such as 6, 8, etc.; the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the number of first converging lenses 4113. Among them, the propagation path of the received laser beam in the first lens assembly 410 can be parallel or approximately parallel to the propagation path of the transmitted laser beam in the first lens assembly 410, and the propagation direction of the received laser beam in the first lens assembly 410 is opposite to that of the transmitted laser beam.
[0236] In some examples, the bottom wall of the first sub-groove 4111 protrudes from the bottom wall of the second sub-groove 4112; in this way, the first converging lens 4113 can converge the laser beam on the first light receiving chip within the effective focal length range; the second converging lens can converge the laser beam emitted by the first laser chip within the effective focal length range.
[0237] In some examples of the disclosed embodiments, the arrangement direction of the first sub-chip and the second sub-chip on the circuit board can be consistent with the arrangement direction of the first laser chip and the first light receiving chip. For example, the first laser chip and the first light receiving chip are arranged along the arrangement direction of the first sub-groove 4111 and the second sub-groove 4112; the first sub-chip and the second sub-chip can also be arranged along the arrangement direction of the first sub-groove 4111 and the second sub-groove 4112.
[0238] It is understood that, as described in detail in the foregoing embodiments of the present disclosure, the first sub-chip may be formed by integrating a first laser driver chip and a DSP chip, and the second sub-chip may be formed by integrating a TIA and a DSP chip. Generally, the first sub-chip and the second sub-chip occupy a relatively large area on the circuit board. To facilitate packaging of the first sub-chip, the second sub-chip, the first laser chip, and the first light receiving chip, in some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, along the arrangement direction of the first sub-chip and the second sub-chip, the width of the second groove 412 may be greater than the width of the first groove 411. The first lens assembly 410 may also be configured such that the width of the first end is greater than the width of the second end, wherein the first end is the end that covers the first chipset 420, and the second end is the end that covers the first laser chip and the first light receiving chip.
[0239] In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, to facilitate electrical connection between the first laser chip and the first sub-chip, the first laser chip and the first sub-chip may be arranged along the length of the circuit board. The surfaces of the first laser chip and the first sub-chip facing away from the circuit board may be flush, thereby facilitating a reduction in the bonding distance between the first laser chip and the first sub-chip and improving the anti-interference capability of electrical signals transmitted between the first sub-chip and the first laser chip.
[0240] In some examples of the disclosed embodiments, the first sub-chip is connected to a trace on a circuit board via a bonding wire, i.e., one end of the bonding wire is connected to a pad on the first sub-chip, and the other end of the bonding wire is connected to the trace on the circuit board via a pad on the circuit board. The height of the bonding wire between the first sub-chip and the trace is higher than the surface height of the bottom wall of the first groove.
[0241] The second sub-chip is connected to the wiring on the circuit board through bonding, and the bonding height between the second sub-chip and the wiring is higher than the height of the bottom wall of the first groove.
[0242] To prevent the bottom wall of the second groove 412 from interfering with the bonding between the first and second sub-chips and the traces on the circuit board, thereby affecting signal transmission, in some examples of the disclosed embodiments, the second groove 412 is recessed within the first groove 411, thereby avoiding bonding between the first and second sub-chips and the traces. In some examples, the distance between the bottom wall of the second groove 412 and the circuit board surface is greater than the distance between the bottom wall of the first groove 411 and the circuit board.
[0243] In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to facilitate the installation and fixation of the first lens assembly 410 on the circuit board, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, the side of the first lens assembly 410 facing the circuit board is provided with a second glue dispensing groove 1001 and a second glue overflow groove 1002, and the first glue dispensing groove 1041 and the second glue overflow groove 1002 are provided on the peripheral wall of the second groove 412, wherein the second glue overflow groove 1002 is recessed in the end face of the peripheral wall of the second groove 412, and the second glue dispensing groove 1001 is recessed in the second glue overflow groove 1002; wherein the second glue overflow groove 1002 and the second glue dispensing groove 1001 are arranged at intervals along the peripheral wall of the second groove 412.
[0244] In some examples, to facilitate glue overflow, the second glue overflow groove 1002 can pass through the inner and outer side walls of the second groove 412, so that the glue overflowing from the second glue dispensing groove 1001 first flows in the second glue overflow groove 1002. After the second glue overflow groove 1002 is filled, the glue can also flow along both sides of the second glue overflow groove 1002 into the second groove 412 or to the circuit board outside the first lens assembly 410, thereby avoiding the problem of excessive glue in the second glue overflow groove 1002 causing a gap between the first lens assembly 410 and the circuit board, thereby improving the tightness of the contact between the first lens assembly 410 and the circuit board.
[0245] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 , in order to facilitate the exhaust of hot air generated in the first accommodating cavity, an exhaust groove 1003 may be provided on a side of the first lens assembly 410 facing the circuit board.
[0246] In some examples, the exhaust groove 1003 can pass through the inside and outside of the first accommodating cavity, so that the inside and outside of the first accommodating cavity are connected to each other; in this way, it is convenient to discharge the hot air in the first accommodating cavity, and the heat generated by the first sub-chip and the second sub-chip can be dissipated in time.
[0247] In some examples, the venting groove can isolate the second glue overflow groove from the bottom wall of the first lens assembly in contact with the circuit board. This can prevent glue in the second glue overflow groove from being siphoned into the space between the bottom wall of the first lens assembly in contact with the circuit board.
[0248] Figure 18 is a second structural view of the first lens assembly in the optical module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 19 is a third structural view of the first lens assembly in the optical module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 20 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the first lens assembly, first transmitting optical fiber ribbon, and circuit board in the optical module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Figures 16-20, in some examples of the present disclosure, the first lens assembly 410 may further include a first reflective lens 4131. In some examples, the top of the first lens assembly 410 may further include a third recess 413, within which the first reflective lens 4131 may be disposed. The first reflective lens 4131 is tilted relative to the light emitting surface of the first reflective assembly. Alternatively, in some examples, the first reflective lens 4131 may be tilted relative to the bottom wall of the first recess, thereby tilting the light beam converged by the first converging lens 4113 relative to the first reflective lens 4131. This facilitates reflection of the light beam by the first reflective lens 4131. For example, as shown in Figure 17, the emitted laser beam converged by the first converging lens 4113 propagates in the first lens assembly 410. After the emitted laser beam is irradiated onto the reflective surface of the first reflecting lens 4131, the first reflecting lens 4131 reflects the emitted laser beam, thereby changing the propagation direction of the first laser beam, so that the first emitted laser beam is transmitted to the first emitting optical fiber ribbon.
[0249] 16, 17, and 20, in some examples of the presently disclosed embodiments, the front end of the first lens assembly 410 has a fourth groove 414, which is located on the reflective surface of the first reflective lens 4131. The front end of the first lens assembly 410 may be the end where the first transmitted laser beam exits the first lens assembly 410, or the end where the first received laser beam enters the first lens assembly 410. In some examples of the presently disclosed embodiments, the first optical transceiver component 400 further includes a first internal optical fiber ribbon, one end of which extends into the fourth groove 414, so that the first transmitted laser beam enters the first internal optical fiber ribbon and is transmitted along the first internal optical fiber ribbon. Alternatively, the first received laser beam received by the first internal optical fiber ribbon is transmitted from the fourth groove 414 to the first lens assembly 410 and is reflected by the first reflective lens 4131.
[0250] 20 , in some examples of the presently disclosed embodiments, to facilitate support for the first internal optical fiber ribbon, the optical module may further include a first optical fiber bracket 450. The first internal optical fiber ribbon is threaded through the first optical fiber bracket 450, with the end of the first internal optical fiber ribbon protruding from the end surface of the first optical fiber bracket 450 and extending into the fourth groove 414. The first optical fiber bracket 450 may be connected to the first end of the first lens assembly 410, such that the first optical fiber bracket 450 is opposite to the fourth groove 414.
[0251] FIG21 is a fourth structural view of the first lens assembly in an optical module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG22 is a fifth structural view of the first lens assembly in an optical module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG21 and FIG22 , in some examples of the present disclosure, a third converging lens 4141 and a fourth converging lens 4142 are disposed within the fourth groove 414. It is understood that the third converging lens 4141 can be positioned in the transmission path of the first transmitted laser beam, thereby collimating the first transmitted laser beam reflected by the first reflective lens into the first inner optical fiber ribbon for transmission within the first inner optical fiber ribbon. The first inner optical fiber ribbon may include a first transmitting optical fiber ribbon and a first receiving optical fiber ribbon. In some examples, the third converging lens 4141 can be positioned opposite an end face of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon. The fourth converging lens 4142 can be positioned in the transmission path of the first received laser beam, thereby converging the first received laser beam received by the first inner optical fiber ribbon into the first lens assembly 410 for transmission within the first lens assembly 410. The fourth converging lens 4142 can be positioned opposite an end face of the first receiving optical fiber ribbon.
[0252] In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of the third converging lenses 4141 may be the same as the number of the first converging lenses; and the number of the fourth converging lenses 4142 may be the same as the number of the second converging lenses.
[0253] In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the front end of the first lens assembly 410 further includes a first bottom wall 4101, a first side wall 4102, a second side wall 4103, a third side wall 4104, a first top wall 4105, and a second top wall 4106; the first side wall 4102 and the second side wall 4103 are located on both sides of the first bottom wall 4101, the first top wall 4105 is connected to the first side wall 4102, and the first top wall 4105 is opposite to the first bottom wall 4101; the second top wall 4106 is connected to the second side wall 4103, and the second top wall 4106 is opposite to the first bottom wall 4101 The third sidewall 4104 is connected to the first bottom wall 4101, the first sidewall 4102, the second sidewall 4103, the first top wall 4105, and the second top wall 4106. In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first bottom wall 4101, the first sidewall 4102, the second sidewall 4103, the third sidewall 4104, the first top wall 4105, and the second top wall 4106 collectively form a first slot 415. The fourth groove 414 is recessed into the third sidewall 4104, i.e., the notch direction of the fourth groove 414 is aligned with the opening direction of the first slot 415. The first slot 415 can be used to insert a first optical fiber holder, thereby securing the first optical fiber holder to the first lens assembly 410.
[0254] In some examples, the exhaust groove can isolate the second glue overflow groove from the first bottom wall; the overflow glue in the second glue overflow groove can be isolated by the exhaust groove, which can prevent the glue from being siphoned between the first bottom wall and the circuit board.
[0255] In some examples, referring to Figures 21 and 22, the first top wall 4105 has a first guide slope 1051 on the side facing away from the third side wall 4104, and the distance between the end of the first guide slope 1051 facing the third side wall 4104 and the first bottom wall 4101 is smaller than the distance between the end of the first guide slope 1051 facing away from the third side wall 4104 and the first bottom wall 4101, so that the first guide slope 1051 is inclined relative to the first bottom wall 4101; the second top wall 4106 has a second guide slope 1061 on the side facing away from the third side wall 4104, and the distance between the end of the second guide slope 1061 facing the third side wall 4104 and the first bottom wall 4101 is smaller than the distance between the end of the second guide slope 1061 facing away from the third side wall 4104 and the first bottom wall 4101, so that the second guide slope 1061 is inclined relative to the first bottom wall 4101. Thus, the opening of the first slot 415 is in a constricted shape. When inserting the first optical fiber holder into the first slot 415 , the first optical fiber holder is inserted from the large opening end to the small opening end, which facilitates the insertion and installation of the first optical fiber holder.
[0256] In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, to facilitate fixing the first optical fiber bracket, as shown in Figures 21 and 22, the third side wall 4104 may further be provided with a first glue dispensing groove 1041. The top end of the first glue dispensing groove 1041 is connected to the fourth groove 414, and the bottom end of the first glue dispensing groove 1041 is connected to the first bottom wall 4101. In some examples, the depth of the first glue dispensing groove 1041 is less than the depth of the fourth groove 414, and along the width direction of the first lens assembly 410 (for example, the direction shown by the x-axis in Figure 21), the width of the first glue dispensing groove 1041 is less than the width of the fourth groove 414.
[0257] In some examples, the first glue dispensing groove 1041 can be located on the side of the fourth groove 414 facing the circuit board. Generally, the first lens assembly 410 can be located on the upper surface of the circuit board, and therefore, the first glue dispensing groove 1041 can be located below the fourth groove 414. In some examples of the disclosed embodiments, when securing the first optical fiber holder, glue can be dispensed in the first glue dispensing groove 1041, and then the first optical fiber holder can be inserted into the first slot 415, and the first optical fiber holder can be secured by dispensing glue in the first glue dispensing groove 1041. In the disclosed embodiment, the first glue dispensing groove 1041 is connected to the fourth groove 414. In this way, the fourth groove 414 can also serve as a glue overflow groove, and excess glue in the first glue dispensing groove 1041 can overflow into the fourth groove 414. In addition, the depth of the first glue dispensing groove 1041 is less than the depth of the fourth groove 414, and the width of the first glue dispensing groove 1041 is less than the width of the fourth groove 414. In this way, the amount of glue overflowing into the fourth groove 414 is limited and will not affect the light inserted into the fourth groove 414. In addition, the bottom end of the first glue dispensing groove 1041 is connected to the first bottom wall 4101. In this way, some glue can also overflow onto the first bottom wall 4101, thereby forming an adhesive fixation between the first bottom wall 4101 and the first optical fiber bracket, thereby improving the stability of the fixation of the first optical fiber bracket.
[0258] In some examples of the disclosed embodiments, as shown in Figures 21 and 22, the first lens assembly 410 is provided with a plug-in post 416. The plug-in post 416 can be disposed on the third sidewall 4104 and extend toward the first slot 415. In some examples, a plug-in hole can be provided on the first optical fiber holder 450, into which the plug-in post 416 is inserted, thereby positioning and securing the first optical fiber holder 450. It is understood that in some examples, a plug-in hole can also be provided on the third sidewall 4104, the plug-in hole communicating with the first slot 415, and the plug-in post 416 can be provided on the side of the first optical fiber holder facing the third sidewall 4104, into which the plug-in post 416 is inserted, thereby positioning and securing the first optical fiber holder. In some examples, there can be two plug-in posts 416, one of which is located on one side of the fourth groove 414 along the width direction, and the other of which is located on the other side of the fourth groove 414 along the width direction.
[0259] It is understandable that in some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the plug-in column 416 may be provided on one side of the fourth groove 414 and the plug-in hole may be provided on the other side.
[0260] In some examples of the disclosed embodiments, to enhance the stability of the first optical fiber support in supporting the first internal optical fiber ribbon, the first optical fiber support is typically longer. In some examples, the length of the first optical fiber support is greater than twice the length of the first bottom wall 4101. To enhance the stability of the first bottom wall 4101 in supporting the first optical fiber support, in some examples, the front end of the first lens assembly 410 further comprises a first extension portion, which includes a first extended bottom wall 4107, a first extended side wall 4108, and a second extended side wall 4109. The first extended bottom wall 4107 is connected to the end of the first bottom wall 4101 facing away from the third side wall 4104. In some examples, the first extended bottom wall 4107 and the first bottom wall 4101 can be formed as one piece; the first extended side wall 4108 is connected to the end of the first side wall 4102 facing away from the third side wall 4104. In some examples, the first extended side wall 4108 can be formed as one piece with the first side wall 4102; the second extended side wall 4109 is connected to the end of the second side wall 4103 facing away from the third side wall 4104. The second extended side wall 4109 can be formed as one piece with the second side wall 4103.
[0261] The first extended sidewall 4108 and the second extended sidewall 4109 are connected to opposite sides of the first extended bottom wall 4107. The first extended sidewall 4108 is lower than the first sidewall 4102, while the second extended sidewall 4109 is lower than the second sidewall 4103. A third guide slope 1081 is formed at the top of the first extended sidewall 4108, while a fourth guide slope 1091 is formed at the top of the second extended sidewall 4109. The distance between the end of the third guide slope 1081 facing the first extended bottom wall 4107 and the second extended sidewall 4109 is smaller than the distance between the end of the third guide slope 1081 facing away from the first extended bottom wall 4107 and the second extended sidewall 4109. The distance between the end of the fourth guide slope 1091 facing the first extended bottom wall 4107 and the first extended sidewall 4108 is smaller than the distance between the end of the fourth guide slope 1091 facing away from the first extended bottom wall 4107 and the first extended sidewall 4108. This results in the top opening of the first extended portion having a tapered shape.
[0262] In some examples, the sum of the lengths of the first extended bottom wall 4107 and the first bottom wall 4101 is greater than half the length of the first optical fiber holder. Thus, after the first optical fiber holder is inserted into the first slot 415, the center of the first optical fiber holder is located on the first extended bottom wall 4107 and the first bottom wall 4101, thereby improving the stability of the support provided to the first optical fiber holder.
[0263] In some examples of the disclosed embodiments, the first lens assembly 410 further includes a fourth sidewall 41010 and a fifth sidewall 41011. The fourth sidewall 41010 and the fifth sidewall 41011 are disposed on opposite sides of the first bottom wall 4101. The fourth sidewall 41010 is connected to the first top wall 4105, and the fifth sidewall 41011 is connected to the second top wall 4106. A fifth groove 417 is formed between the fourth sidewall 41010 and the fifth sidewall 41011, and the fifth groove 417 is connected to the first slot 415. In some examples, the fifth groove 417 can extend through the front and rear ends of the first lens assembly 410, wherein the rear end of the first lens assembly 410 can be the end of the first lens assembly 410 facing away from the first optical fiber support 450.
[0264] In some examples, the bottom wall of the fifth groove 417 has a height difference, and the third groove 413 is recessed below the bottom wall of the fifth groove 417. For example, the bottom wall of the fifth groove 417 facing the rear end is lower than the bottom wall of the fifth groove 417 facing the front end. In this way, the thickness of the bottom wall of the fifth groove 417 facing the front end is greater than the thickness of the bottom wall of the fifth groove 417 facing the rear end, which facilitates the formation of the third groove 413 by recessing the bottom wall of the fifth groove 417. The third groove 413 can be recessed in the bottom wall of the fifth groove 417 facing the front end. In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the width of the fifth groove 417 can be greater than the width of the third groove 413, so that the third groove 413 can be arranged on the bottom wall of the fifth groove 417; the width of the third groove 413 can be greater than the width of the fourth groove 414; in this way, the first reflecting lens 4131 can cover the width direction of the fourth groove 414 and can reflect the first emitted laser beam and the first received laser beam; in addition, the width of the fifth groove 417 can be smaller than the width of the first slot 415; in this way, the first top wall 4105 can be formed on the fourth side wall 41010 and the second top wall 4106 can be formed on the fifth side wall 41011, which facilitates the processing and forming of the first top wall 4105 and the second top wall 4106.
[0265] In some examples, the side of the bottom wall of the fifth groove 417 facing the gold finger 301 is an inclined surface; in this way, the height difference of the bottom wall of the fifth groove 417 is transitioned through the inclined surface, so that the height difference of the bottom wall of the fifth groove 417 is smoothly transitioned, which can reduce the bending of the internal optical fiber ribbon limited in the fifth groove 417 and effectively protect the internal optical fiber ribbon.
[0266] In some examples of the disclosed embodiments, a sixth groove 418 is defined on the side of the fourth sidewall 41010 facing away from the fifth sidewall 41011, and a seventh groove 419 is defined on the side of the fifth sidewall 41011 facing away from the fourth sidewall 41010. In other words, the sixth groove 418 and the seventh groove 419 are disposed opposite each other. This facilitates access to the first lens assembly 410 through the sixth groove 418 and the seventh groove 419, improving ease of handling and transfer of the first lens assembly 410.
[0267] Figure 23 is a structural diagram of the first lens assembly, first fiber optic bracket, and first internal fiber optic ribbon in the optical module provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 24 is a first exploded structural diagram of the first lens assembly, first fiber optic bracket, and first internal fiber optic ribbon in the optical module provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 25 is a second exploded structural diagram of the first lens assembly, first fiber optic bracket, and first internal fiber optic ribbon in the optical module provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Figures 23-25, in some examples of the present disclosure, the first fiber optic bracket 450 is inserted into the first slot. In some examples, as shown in Figure 24, when inserting the first optical fiber bracket 450 into the first slot, the first optical fiber bracket 450 can be first inserted from the top opening of the first extension portion into the first extension portion along the negative direction of the y-axis in Figure 20. At this time, the third guide bevel and the fourth guide bevel guide the first optical fiber bracket 450, thereby facilitating the insertion of the first optical fiber bracket 450. After the bottom of the first optical fiber bracket 450 contacts the bottom wall of the first extension, the first optical fiber bracket 450 can be moved toward the third side wall along the direction shown by the x-axis in Figure 24. At this time, the first guide bevel and the second guide bevel guide the first optical fiber bracket 450, thereby facilitating the insertion of the first optical fiber bracket 450, thereby improving the assembly and installation efficiency of the first optical fiber bracket 450.
[0268] In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first internal optical fiber ribbon includes: a first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 and a first receiving optical fiber ribbon. One end of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 extends into the fourth groove 414, and the end face of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 is opposite to the third converging lens. In some examples, a first gap is provided between the end face of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 and the third converging lens. This prevents the end face of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 from contacting the third converging lens, thereby improving the coupling efficiency of the optical signal. In some examples, the end face of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 can be a bevel. In this way, when the first transmitting laser beam transmitted from the third converging lens is irradiated onto the end face of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430, it will not be reflected back into the first lens assembly 410 by the end face of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430, thereby reducing interference with the first transmitting laser beam.
[0269] In some examples, the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 may include four optical fibers, each of which transmits one first transmitting laser beam, thereby meeting the transmission of four first transmitting laser beams.
[0270] In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, one end of the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 extends into the fourth groove 414, and the end face of the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 is opposite to the fourth converging lens. In some examples, a second gap is provided between the end face of the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 and the fourth converging lens. In this way, the end face of the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 can be prevented from contacting the fourth converging lens, thereby improving the coupling efficiency of the optical signal. The fourth converging lens converges the first receiving laser beam transmitted by the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 and transmits it within the first lens assembly 410. After reflection by the first reflecting lens 4131, it is transmitted from the second converging lens to the first light receiving chip. The second gap can be the same as or similar to the first gap. In some examples, the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 can also include four optical fibers, each of which transmits one first receiving laser beam, thereby satisfying the transmission of four first receiving laser beams.
[0271] In some examples, in order to facilitate the fixation and support of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 and the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440, the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 and the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 can be passed through the first optical fiber bracket 450; wherein, the end face of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 and the end face of the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 protrude from the first optical fiber bracket 450; when the first optical fiber bracket 450 is inserted into the first slot, the end face of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 and the end face of the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 extend into the fourth groove. By passing the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 and the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 through the first optical fiber bracket 450, and inserting the first optical fiber bracket 450 into the first slot, it is convenient to connect the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 and the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 with the first lens assembly 410, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430, the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 and the first lens assembly 410; by controlling the end faces of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 and the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 to protrude from the first optical fiber bracket 450, so that after the first optical fiber bracket 450 is inserted into the first slot, the side wall of the first optical fiber bracket 450 abuts against the third side wall 4104, thereby facilitating the limitation of the distance between the end face of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 and the third converging lens, and facilitating the limitation of the distance between the end face of the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 and the fourth converging lens.
[0272] In some examples of the disclosed embodiments, as shown in Figures 20 and 21 , one of the first lens assembly 410 and the first fiber optic support 450 is provided with a plug-in post 416, and the other of the first lens assembly 410 and the first fiber optic support 450 is provided with a plug-in hole 451. The plug-in post 416 is inserted into the plug-in hole 451 to fix and position the first fiber optic support 450. This facilitates alignment of the end face of the first transmitting fiber optic ribbon 430 with the third converging lens, and alignment of the end face of the first receiving fiber optic ribbon 440 with the fourth converging lens. In some examples, the plug-in post 416 is provided on the first lens assembly 410 and the plug-in hole 451 is provided on the first fiber optic support 450. It is understood that in some examples, the plug-in post 416 can also be provided on the first fiber optic support 450, and the plug-in hole 451 is correspondingly provided on the first lens assembly 410.
[0273] FIG26 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first optical transceiver component and the second optical transceiver component in the optical module provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG26 , in some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first optical transceiver component 400 and the second optical transceiver component 500 can be arranged along the length direction of the circuit board; in this way, the limited space on the circuit board can be fully utilized, thereby improving the space utilization rate on the circuit board. Among them, the second lens assembly 510 has the same structure as the first lens assembly 410. For example, the second lens assembly 510 has the same or similar structure as the first lens assembly 410. As shown in FIG26 , the second lens assembly 510 can also have a fourth sidewall and a fifth sidewall, and a fifth groove 517 is formed between the fourth sidewall and the fifth sidewall. In some examples, the second lens assembly 510 is located on the side of the first lens assembly 410 that is away from the gold finger, and the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 and the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 are confined within the fifth groove 517 of the second lens assembly 510. As described in detail in the aforementioned embodiments of the present disclosure, the bottom wall of the fifth groove 517 has a height difference, and the side of the bottom wall of the fifth groove 517 facing the gold finger is an inclined surface; in this way, the setting of the inclined surface makes the height difference on the bottom wall of the fifth groove 517 transition smoothly. After the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 and the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 are confined in the fifth groove 517, the degree of bending of the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 and the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440 can be reduced, thereby providing better protection for the first transmitting optical fiber ribbon 430 and the first receiving optical fiber ribbon 440.
[0274] It can be understood that in some examples, the first optical transceiver component may be located on the side of the second optical transceiver component facing away from the gold finger. In this case, the second transmitting optical fiber ribbon 530 and the second receiving optical fiber ribbon 540 of the second optical transceiver component may be confined to the fifth groove 417 of the first lens assembly 410.
[0275] The optical module provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is further provided with a first chipset and a second chipset on the circuit board. The first chipset is provided in the first accommodating cavity, and the second chipset is provided in the second accommodating cavity. In this way, the first chipset and the second chipset are distributed at different positions on the circuit board, so that the heat generated by the first chipset and the second chipset when processing and transmitting electrical signals is distributed at different positions on the circuit board, which is convenient for heat dissipation and is conducive to improving the heat dissipation effect of the optical module. In addition, the first chipset is provided in the first accommodating cavity, and the second chipset is provided in the second accommodating cavity. In this way, after the first chipset is electrically connected to the gold finger through the wiring on the circuit board, the heat between the first chipset and the first optical transmitting component is The routing distance is smaller than the routing distance between the gold finger, which shortens the routing distance between the first chipset and the first optical emission component, thereby reducing the interference during the transmission of electrical signals between the first chipset and the first optical emission component; the second chipset is electrically connected to the gold finger through the routing on the circuit board, and the routing distance between the second chipset and the second optical emission component is smaller than the routing distance between the gold finger, which shortens the routing distance between the second chipset and the second optical emission component, thereby reducing the interference during the transmission of electrical signals between the second chipset and the second optical emission component, and improving the anti-interference ability of the optical module for the transmission of high-speed signals, that is, improving the transmission performance of the optical module for high-speed signals.

The first lens assembly 403 can be configured to receive an optical signal transmitted by the first internal optical fiber and converge, reflect, and collimate the optical signal to the first optical receiving chip.
[0442] In some examples, the distance between the filter assembly 303 and the second optical chip assembly 402 that is electrically connected is less than a first preset threshold.
[0443] In some examples, the accommodation space of the first accommodation cavity 404 is smaller than the sum of the sizes of the first optical chip assembly 401, the second optical chip assembly 402, and the filter assembly 303. As a result, when the filter assembly 303 is disposed on the upper surface of the circuit board, the first lens assembly cannot encapsulate the first optical chip assembly 401 and the second optical chip assembly 402.
[0444] In some examples, the accommodation space of the first accommodation cavity is smaller than the sum of the dimensions of the first optical chip assembly 401, the second optical chip assembly 402, and the filter assembly 303. After the first lens assembly encapsulates the first optical chip assembly 401 and the second optical chip assembly 402, if the filter assembly 303 is disposed on the top surface of the circuit board, the filter assembly is located outside the first lens assembly; as a result, the electrical connection distance between the filter assembly 303 and the first optical chip assembly 401 and the second optical chip assembly 402 is greater than a first preset threshold.
[0445] In some examples, the filter assembly 303 can be arranged on the lower surface of the circuit board 300 and connected to the wire bonding pad on the upper surface of the circuit board 300 through a via. In this way, the electrical connection distance between the filter assembly 303 and the first optical chip assembly 401 can be less than or equal to the first preset threshold value. This is conducive to shortening the electrical connection distance between the filter assembly and the first optical chip assembly, and improving the filtering effect of the filter assembly on filtering the signal of the first optical chip assembly. The electrical connection distance between the filter assembly 303 and the second optical chip assembly 402 can be made less than or equal to the first preset threshold value. This is conducive to shortening the electrical connection distance between the filter assembly and the second optical chip assembly, and improving the filtering effect of the filter assembly on filtering the signal of the second optical chip assembly. In addition, the size of the first lens assembly 403 can be reduced, which facilitates the arrangement and layout of the first lens assembly 403 on the circuit board 300, and avoids the first lens assembly 403 interfering with the first electronic device on the circuit board 300.

[0447] In some examples, the first lens assembly 403 isolates the heat conduction between the second optical chip assembly 402 and the upper housing.
[0448] In some examples, the heat generated by the first optical chip assembly 401 during operation can be conducted to the lower surface of the circuit board 300 via the thermally conductive assembly, and then conducted to the lower housing for dissipation. Thus, after the first optical chip assembly 401 is encapsulated by the first lens assembly 403, the first lens assembly 403 isolates the heat conduction between the first optical chip assembly 401 and the upper housing. The heat generated by the first optical chip assembly 401 can be conducted to the lower housing for dissipation via the thermally conductive assembly, which facilitates heat dissipation of the first optical chip assembly 401 and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the first optical chip assembly 401.
[0449] In some examples, the heat generated by the second optical chip assembly 402 during operation can be conducted to the lower surface of the circuit board 300 via the thermally conductive assembly, and then conducted to the lower housing for dissipation. Thus, after the second optical chip assembly 402 is encapsulated by the first lens assembly, the second lens assembly isolates the heat conduction between the second optical chip assembly 402 and the upper housing. The heat generated by the second optical chip assembly 402 can be conducted to the lower housing for dissipation via the thermally conductive assembly, facilitating heat dissipation of the second optical chip assembly 402 and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the second optical chip assembly 402.

[0535] In some examples, the third electronic device may be at least one of a power supply device or a storage device.
[0536] In some examples, no electronic devices may be provided on the upper surface of the circuit board 300 between the first optical transceiver component 400 and the second optical transceiver component 500 .
[0537] In some examples, in order to prevent the portion of the second heat dissipation copper layer extending out of the second lens assembly 503 from contacting the third electronic device and causing a short circuit in the third electronic device, the portion of the second heat dissipation copper layer extending out of the second lens assembly can be located on the side of the third electronic device facing the second lens assembly.
[0538] In some examples, in order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the optical module 200, since no electronic devices are set on the upper surface of the circuit board 300 between the first optical transceiver component 400 and the second optical transceiver component 500; therefore, the length of the first heat dissipation copper layer extending out of the first lens assembly can be greater than the length of the second heat dissipation copper layer extending out of the second lens assembly.
[0539] In some examples, the first heat dissipation copper layer can extend beyond the first lens assembly by a first distance.

[0543] In some examples, the circuit board 300 may be provided with a first positioning hole 304. The first positioning post 2121 may be inserted into the first positioning hole 304.

[0545] In some examples, the circuit board 300 may be provided with a second positioning hole 305. The second positioning post 2131 may be inserted into the second positioning hole 305. In this manner, the second positioning post 2131 and the second positioning hole 305 cooperate to limit the position of the circuit board 300 within the cavity, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection between the optical module 200 and the host computer 100.
[0546] In some examples, to secure the circuit board 300 within the cavity and enhance the stability of the connection between the optical module and the circuit board 300, a first pressure plate boss 2012 may be provided on the upper housing 201. The first pressure plate boss 2012 may be pressed against the upper surface of the circuit board 300. In this manner, the first pressure plate boss 2012 can be used to press the circuit board 300 against the first support boss 212, thereby limiting the position of the circuit board 300 along the height direction of the cavity, improving the stability of the circuit board 300 within the cavity, and thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the optical module and the host computer.
[0547] In some examples, the first pressing plate boss 2012 may be disposed opposite to the first supporting boss 212 .
[0548] In some examples, the first pressing plate boss 2012 can be pressed onto the edge of the first positioning hole 304 .

[0551] In some examples, the second pressing plate boss 2014 may be located on a side of the second optical transceiver component 500 facing away from the first optical transceiver component 400 .
[0552] In some examples, the second pressing plate boss 2014 may be disposed opposite to the second supporting boss 213 .
[0553] In some examples, the second pressing plate boss 2014 can be pressed onto the edge of the second positioning hole 305 .

[0557] In some examples, the third pressing plate boss 2016 can be pressed onto a side of the fixing column 2111 facing away from the electrical port.
[0558] In some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the circuit board 300 is pressed by the first pressure plate boss 2012, the second pressure plate boss 2014 and the third pressure plate boss 2016, so that both ends and the middle part of the circuit board 300 are pressed and fixed, thereby improving the stability of the circuit board 300 in the cavity and improving the stability of the electrical connection between the optical module 200 and the host computer 100.

[0560] In some examples, as shown in Figures 40 and 41 , a heat transfer channel is established between the heat dissipation copper layer and the upper housing 201. In some examples of the disclosed embodiments, the upper housing 201 may be provided with a first heat conducting boss 2013. The first heat conducting boss 2013 may be provided on one side of the first pressure plate boss 2012.
[0561] In some examples, the first heat conducting boss 2013 can be in thermally conductive contact with the first heat dissipating copper layer.
[0562] In some examples, the first heat-conducting boss 2013 and the upper housing 201 may be an integral piece.
[0563] In some examples, the first thermally conductive boss 2013 can be located between the first lens assembly and the second lens assembly.
[0564] In some examples, the first heat-conducting boss 2013 can be connected to the first pressure plate boss 2012. In this way, after the heat on the first heat-dissipating copper layer is transferred to the first heat-conducting boss 2013, the heat can be transferred to the upper housing 201 through the first heat-conducting boss 2013 and the first pressure plate boss 2012. This increases the area of the heat transfer channel between the first heat-dissipating copper layer and the upper housing 201 and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the first optical transceiver component 400.
[0565] In some examples, the first heat conducting boss 2013 and the first pressure plate boss 2012 may be an integral piece.
[0566] In some examples, the first pressing plate boss 2012 may protrude beyond the first heat conducting boss 2013. This prevents the first heat conducting boss 2013 from being pressed against the circuit board 300 over a large area, thereby effectively protecting the circuit board 300 from damage.
[0567] In some examples, a second heat conducting boss 2015 may be provided on the upper housing 201. The second heat conducting boss 2015 may be provided between the second pressing plate boss 2014 and the second optical transceiver component 500.
[0568] In some examples, the second heat-conducting boss 2015 can be in thermal contact with the second heat-dissipating copper layer. Heat on the second heat-dissipating copper layer can be conducted to the upper housing 201 through the second heat-conducting boss 2015 and dissipated from the upper housing 201.
[0569] In some examples, the second heat conducting boss 2015 can be separated from the second pressing boss 2014 , so as to facilitate avoiding the third electronic device 308 on the circuit board 300 and facilitating the arrangement of the third electronic device 308 on the circuit board 300 .
[0570] In some examples, the second pressing plate boss 2014 may protrude beyond the second heat conducting boss 2015. This prevents the second heat conducting boss 2015 from being pressed against the circuit board 300 over a large area, thereby effectively protecting the circuit board 300 from damage.
[0571] FIG42 is a third structural schematic diagram of a circuit board in an optical module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and FIG43 is a top view of a circuit board in an optical module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0572] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 41 to FIG. 43 , to facilitate thermal conduction contact between the first heat-conducting boss 2013 and the first heat-dissipating copper layer, a third flexible heat-conducting member 306 may be provided between the first heat-dissipating copper layer and the first heat-conducting boss 2013 .
[0573] In some examples, the third flexible thermally conductive member 306 may be thermally conductive adhesive.
[0574] In some examples, the third flexible thermally conductive member 306 may be a thermally conductive pad.
[0575] In some examples, the first heat-conducting boss 2013 is pressed onto the third flexible heat-conducting member 306. The third flexible heat-conducting member 306 can deform to absorb the pressing force of the first heat-conducting boss 2013 on the circuit board 300, thereby protecting the circuit board 300 from damage.
[0576] In some examples, a fourth flexible heat conducting member 307 may be provided between the second heat conducting boss 2015 and the second heat dissipating copper layer.
[0577] In some examples, the fourth flexible heat-conducting member 307 may be a thermally conductive adhesive.
[0578] In some examples, the fourth flexible thermally conductive member 307 may be a thermally conductive pad.
[0579] In some examples, the second heat-conducting boss 2015 is pressed onto the fourth flexible heat-conducting member 307. The fourth flexible heat-conducting member 307 can deform to absorb the pressing force of the second heat-conducting boss 2015 on the circuit board 300, thereby protecting the circuit board 300 from damage.
[0580] Figure 44 is a structural schematic diagram of the upper shell of the optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 45 is a bottom view of the upper shell of the optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and Figure 46 is a partial enlarged schematic diagram of point E in Figure 45.
[0581] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 44 and FIG. 45 , the first pressing plate boss 2012 may be provided on a side of the upper housing 201 facing the circuit board 300 .
[0582] In some examples, two first pressing plate bosses 2012 may be provided. The two first pressing plate bosses 2012 may be disposed opposite to each other along the width direction of the circuit board 300 .
[0583] In some examples, there may be a gap between the two first pressing plate bosses 2012 . The first optical transceiver component 400 may be located between the two first pressing plate bosses 2012 .
[0584] In some examples, the first heat-conducting boss 2013 can be integral with the first pressure plate boss 2012. Heat from the first heat-conducting boss 2013 can be conducted to the upper housing 201 through the first pressure plate boss 2012. This can increase the area of the heat-conducting channel between the first heat-dissipating copper layer and the upper housing 201, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first optical transceiver component 400.
[0585] In some examples, the first pressing plate boss 2012 may protrude beyond the first heat conducting boss 2013. Thus, the first pressing plate boss 2012 may secure the circuit board 300, thereby preventing the first heat conducting boss 2013 from directly pressing against the circuit board 300 over a large area, thereby protecting the circuit board 300 from damage.
[0586] In some examples, the second pressing plate boss 2014 may be disposed at an end of the upper housing 201 facing away from the electrical port.
[0587] In some examples, two second pressing plate bosses 2014 may be provided. The two second pressing plate bosses 2014 may be disposed opposite to each other along the width direction of the circuit board 300 .
[0588] In some examples, there may be a gap between the two second pressing plate bosses 2014. The third electronic component 308 may be disposed between the two second pressing plate bosses 2014. This facilitates the placement of the third electronic component 308.
[0589] In some examples, the second heat conducting boss 2015 can be separated from the second pressing plate boss 2014. In this way, the area of the circuit board 300 occupied by the second heat conducting boss 2015 can be reduced, which facilitates the arrangement of the third electronic device 308.
[0590] In some examples, to improve the electromagnetic shielding performance of the optical module and prevent external electromagnetic signals from interfering with the electrical signals on the circuit board 300, as shown in Figure 46, a pressing strip 2017 can be provided on the upper housing 201. The pressing strip 2017 can be located at one end of the upper housing 201 near the electrical port.
[0591] In some examples, the pressing strip 2017 can extend along the width direction of the circuit board 300. The pressing strip 2017 can be pressed against the upper surface of the circuit board 300 to seal the electrical port of the optical module 200, thereby shielding external electromagnetic signals and preventing external electromagnetic signals from interfering with the electrical signals on the circuit board 300.
[0592] In some examples, an electromagnetic shielding member may be provided between the pressing strip 2017 and the circuit board 300 .
[0593] In some examples, the electromagnetic shielding component may be made of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) materials.
[0594] In some examples, the electromagnetic shielding member can be provided on the upper surface of the circuit board 300. The pressing strip 2017 can be pressed onto the electromagnetic shielding member. In this way, the electromagnetic shielding member can fill and shield the gap between the pressing strip 2017 and the upper surface of the circuit board 300, thereby improving the electromagnetic shielding effect.
[0595] In some examples, the end of the pressing strip 2017 may be an arcuate wall 171. The arcuate wall 171 may be attached to the peripheral wall of the fixing column 2111, thereby improving the electromagnetic shielding effect of the electrical port and enhancing the anti-interference capability of the optical module 200.
[0596] Some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure provide optical modules, in which a heat dissipation copper layer is laid on the upper surface of the circuit board. The heat dissipation copper layer may include a first heat dissipation copper layer and a second heat dissipation copper layer. The first heat dissipation copper layer and the second heat dissipation copper layer may be arranged along the length direction of the circuit board; a third electronic device may be provided on the side of the circuit board facing away from the gold finger, and no electronic device is provided in the middle of the circuit board (i.e., between the first heat dissipation copper layer and the second heat dissipation copper layer); in this way, after the first optical transceiver component is set on the first heat dissipation copper layer, the first heat dissipation copper layer extends a first distance from the first optical transceiver component, and after the second optical transceiver component is set on the second heat dissipation copper layer, the second heat dissipation copper layer extends a second distance from the second optical transceiver component, and the first distance is greater than the second distance; in this way, a first pressure plate boss can be provided on the upper shell to be pressed onto the circuit board. On the upper surface of the housing, the first pressure plate boss is located between the first optical transceiver component and the second optical transceiver component; the first heat-conducting boss is in heat-conducting contact with the first heat-dissipating copper layer, and the first heat-conducting boss can be connected to the first pressure plate boss to form a whole, thereby increasing the cross-sectional area of the heat transfer channel for the first heat-dissipating copper layer to transfer heat to the upper shell, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the optical module; a second pressure plate boss is provided on the upper shell, and the second pressure plate boss is located on the side of the second optical transceiver component that is away from the first optical transceiver component, and the second heat-conducting boss is provided between the second pressure plate boss and the second optical transceiver component, and the second heat-conducting boss can be in heat-conducting contact with the second heat-dissipating copper layer, and the second heat-conducting boss and the second pressure plate boss can be separated; in this way, it is convenient to avoid the third electronic device provided on the circuit board, and it is convenient to reasonably arrange the third electronic device on the circuit board.
[0597] Figure 47 is a structural schematic diagram of the cooperation between the circuit board and the electronic device in the optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 48 is a structural schematic diagram of the first sub-electronic device in the optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and Figure 49 is a structural schematic diagram of the cooperation between the first sub-electronic device and the second sub-electronic device in the optical module provided according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0598] In some examples, the first heat dissipation copper layer and the second heat dissipation copper layer occupy the layout space of electronic components on the circuit board; after the upper shell and the lower shell are covered, the first heat conductive boss on the upper shell is in thermal conduction contact with the first heat dissipation copper layer, and the second heat conductive boss is in thermal conduction contact with the second heat dissipation copper layer, and the first heat conductive boss and the second heat conductive boss will occupy the layout space of electronic components on the circuit board.
[0599] To improve the performance of optical modules, a large number of electronic components are typically placed on the circuit board to process electrical signals. To ensure the performance of the optical module, as shown in Figures 47-49 , in some examples of the disclosed embodiments, the electronic components may include a first sub-electronic component 310 . The first sub-electronic component 310 may be disposed on the circuit board 300 .
[0600] In some examples, the first electronic sub-device 310 may include a capacitor.
[0601] In some examples, the first electronic sub-device 310 may include a resistor.
[0602] In some examples, the first electronic sub-device 310 may include an inductor.
[0603] In some examples, the first sub-electronic device 310 may include other types of electronic devices. The type of the first sub-electronic device 310 in the embodiment of the present disclosure is only used as an example to illustrate the specific type of the first sub-electronic device 310 and does not limit the specific type of the first sub-electronic device 310.
[0604] In some examples, the first electronic sub-device 310 may have a first exposed electrode 3101 .
[0605] In some examples, the first exposed electrode 3101 can be electrically connected to a trace on the circuit board 300 .
[0606] In some examples, the first electronic sub-device 310 may be mounted on the surface of the circuit board 300 in a patch manner.
[0607] In some examples, the first electronic sub-device 310 may include a first body 3102 .
[0608] In some examples, the first exposed electrodes 3101 may be located on both sides of the first body 3102 .
[0609] In some examples, the first electronic sub-device 310 can have a first width L.
[0610] In some examples, the first body 3102 can have a third width.
[0611] In some examples, the first width L may be 0.6 mm-1.6 mm.

[0622] In some examples, the second sub-electronic component 320 can be mounted on the side of the first sub-electronic component 310 facing away from the circuit board 300 using a patch arrangement. This eliminates the need for the second sub-electronic component 320 to be mounted on the surface of the circuit board 300, transforming the surface-mount placement of the circuit board 300 into a three-dimensional placement. This improves the utilization of the three-dimensional space within the optical module and allows for the placement of more electronic components within the limited space on the circuit board 300, meeting the miniaturization and performance requirements of the optical module.
[0623] In some examples, the second electronic sub-device 320 may include a second body 3202 .

[0626] In some examples, the second exposed electrode 3201 can be electrically connected to the first exposed electrode 3101 .
[0627] In some examples, the second electronic sub-device 320 may have a second width.
[0628] In some examples, the second width can be less than or equal to the first width. Thus, the second sub-electronic device 320 is retracted within the first sub-electronic device 310, so that when the first sub-electronic devices 310 are arranged on the circuit board 300, the distance between two adjacent first sub-electronic devices 310 can be shortened, thereby improving the utilization of the limited layout space of the circuit board 300.
[0629] In some examples, the second width may be greater than the third width, so that the second exposed electrode 3201 can extend onto the first exposed electrode 3101 , thereby facilitating electrical connection between the second exposed electrode 3201 and the first exposed electrode 3101 .
[0630] In some examples, the second width may be 0.4 mm-1.0 mm.
[0631] In some examples, the second width may be 0.4 mm-0.6 mm.
[0632] In some examples, the second width may be 0.6 mm-1.0 mm.
[0633] In some examples, the second width may be 0.4 mm, 0.6 mm, or 1.0 mm.
[0634] In some examples, the second body 3202 may have a fourth width that is smaller than the third width.
[0635] In some examples, the second exposed electrode 3201 can have a sixth width.
[0636] In some examples, the sixth width may be 0.1 mm-0.4 mm.
[0637] In some examples, the sixth width may be 0.1 mm-0.3 mm.
[0638] In some examples, the sixth width may be 0.3 mm-0.4 mm.

[0643] It should be noted here that the numerical values and numerical ranges involved in some embodiments of the present disclosure are approximate values. Due to the influence of the manufacturing process, there may be a certain range of errors. Those skilled in the art may consider this part of the error to be negligible.

[0661] According to the optical module provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device is arranged on the circuit board, and the electronic device can be electrically connected to the gold finger through the wiring on the circuit board so as to process the electrical signal on the circuit board; the arrangement of the first heat dissipation copper layer and the second heat dissipation copper layer occupies the space on the circuit board where the electronic device is arranged; the electronic device may include a first sub-electronic device, which is arranged on the circuit board, and the first sub-electronic device has a first exposed electrode, and the first exposed electrode is configured to be electrically connected to the wiring on the circuit board; the electronic device may include a second sub-electronic device, and the second sub-electronic device is arranged on the side of the first electronic device facing away from the circuit board, and the second electronic device has a second exposed electrode, and the second exposed electrode is electrically connected to the first exposed electrode; in this way, the two-dimensional patch layout of the electronic device on the surface of the circuit board is converted into a three-dimensional space layout, making full use of the three-dimensional space in the optical module, and completing the layout of more electronic devices in a limited layout space, which is beneficial to the miniaturization and performance improvement of the optical module.
[0662] Based on the description of the aforementioned embodiments of the present disclosure, it can be understood that in some examples of the present disclosure, the overall size of the optical module is relatively small, but the power consumption is relatively high. Therefore, the size of the circuit board is relatively small, and when multiple electronic components are mounted on the circuit board, the layout area on the circuit board is limited.
[0663] For example, in some examples, the first heat dissipation copper layer occupies the patch layout space on the surface of the circuit board.
[0664] In some examples, the second heat dissipation copper layer occupies patch layout space on the surface of the circuit board.
[0665] It is understood that, when placing components on a circuit board, the entire printed circuit board (PCB) can be divided into panels. For example, the entire PCB can be divided into panels by cutting. Components are then placed on the separated boards. For example, solder paste application, SMT placement, and other component processing can be performed on the boards.
[0666] In some examples of the disclosed embodiments, due to the small size of the circuit board, the layout area on the single board is limited, making layout more difficult. In order to fully utilize the internal space of the optical module, improve the layout efficiency on the circuit board, and facilitate the production and processing of the circuit board.
[0667] FIG51 is a fourth structural schematic diagram of a circuit board in an optical module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and FIG52 is a fifth structural schematic diagram of a circuit board in an optical module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0668] 51 and 52 , in some examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the side of the circuit board 300 may have board-dividing connection ribs.
[0669] In some examples, the panel connection ribs can be part of the connection ribs reserved when the entire PCB is cut into panels. In other words, when the entire PCB is cut into panels, a portion of the area can be reserved so that the PCB boards can be connected to each other through the panel connection ribs.
[0670] In some examples, the sub-board connection ribs are connected to adjacent circuit boards 300. Here, the adjacent circuit boards 300 may be two adjacent circuit boards 300 on the entire PCB.
[0671] In some examples, after the circuit board 300 is split, it may have four sides. Split-board connection ribs may be reserved on the four sides of the circuit board 300, allowing multiple PCBs to be assembled into a complete board. In other words, the entire PCB board is not completely split; adjacent PCBs are connected by split-board connection ribs to form a complete PCB board.
[0672] In some examples, electronic components may be arranged on each individual board of the circuit board 300 on the entire PCB.
[0673] In some examples, after the electronic device patch assembly is completed on each circuit board 300 , the board connection ribs may be cut by laser cutting to obtain a single circuit board 300 with the assembly completed.
[0674] In some examples, the circuit board 300 may include a gold finger area 314 . The gold fingers 301 may be disposed in the gold finger area 314 .
[0675] In some examples, the gold finger area 314 extends from the electrical port to the outside of the cavity, so as to facilitate electrical connection between the gold finger 301 and the host computer 100 .
[0676] In some examples, the gold finger area 314 does not require patch panels. The gold finger area 314 may not be provided with board connection ribs. In this way, the gold finger area 314 is exposed outside the cavity, which can optimize the appearance of the optical module 200.
[0677] In some examples, the circuit board 300 may include a first layout area 315 . The first layout area 315 may be connected to one end of the gold finger area 314 .
[0678] In some examples, the first fabric area 315 may be located within the cavity.
[0679] In some examples, the first optical transceiver component can be disposed in the first layout area 315 , and the first optical transceiver component occupies the layout space of the first layout area 315 .
[0680] In some examples, the side edges of the first fabrication area 315 may be provided with board-splitting ribs. Thus, the board-splitting ribs connect to adjacent circuit boards 300, thereby providing support for the first fabrication area 315 and facilitating solder paste application and SMT placement in the first fabrication area 315.
[0681] In some examples, the circuit board 300 may include a clamping area 316 .
[0682] In some examples, the clamping plate area 316 may be connected to an end of the first fabric area 315 facing away from the gold finger area 314 .
[0683] In some examples, to facilitate the arrangement of the unlocking component, the first lower side plate and the second lower side plate of the lower housing have recessed portions, and the unlocking component can be connected to the recessed portions.
[0684] In some examples, when the unlocking component moves relative to the lower housing, the matching relationship between the optical module and the host computer can be released.
[0685] In some examples, the clamping area 316 is retracted from the first fabric area 315 along the width direction of the circuit board 300 .
[0686] In some examples, the clamping area 316 can be configured as a clamping position for clamping the circuit board 300 when the circuit board 300 is transported or installed.
[0687] In some examples, to avoid damaging the circuit board 300 when clamping the circuit board 300 , the clamping area 316 may not be patched.
[0688] In some examples, since the clamping plate area 316 is not subjected to patch placement, the clamping plate area 316 does not need to be supported when patch placement is performed on the circuit board 300 .
[0689] In some examples, the side edges of the clamping plate area 316 may not be provided with panel connection ribs. In this way, after the SMD components are placed on the circuit board 300, the circuit board 300 can be quickly depaneled, thereby improving the efficiency of depaneling the circuit board 300.
[0690] In some examples, the circuit board 300 may include a second fabric area 317 . The second fabric area 317 may be connected to a side of the clamping plate area 316 facing away from the first fabric area 315 .

[0692] In some examples, the clamping area 316 may be retracted into the second fabric area 317 along the width direction of the circuit board 300 .
[0693] In some examples, the width of the splinting area 316 may be smaller than the width of the first fabric area 315 .

[0698] In some examples, the sides of the top panel area 318 may be provided with split-panel connecting ribs. This allows the split-panel connecting ribs to support the top panel area 318 when solder paste and SMD components are applied to the top panel area 318, thereby preventing the top panel area 318 from bending or deforming.
[0699] In some examples, the top panel area 318 may have a first side panel. The first side edge 3181 may be a side of the top panel area 318 facing away from the second fabric area 317 .
[0700] In some examples, the split-panel connecting ribs may include first split-panel connecting ribs 3301. The first split-panel connecting ribs 3301 may be provided on the first side 3181.
[0701] In some examples, the first split-board connecting ribs 3301 may be provided on both sides of the first side edge 3181 along the width direction of the circuit board 300 .
