An integrated laser packaging structure suitable for automated mass production

ActiveCN116435864BOptical propagationTemperature control
This invention relates to an integrated laser packaging structure suitable for automated mass production, comprising a packaging box containing an upper cooler, a lower cooler, a laser chip assembly, an optical propagation assembly, an electrical connection assembly, a heat sink, and an optical fiber tail. The lower end face of the upper cooler has an upper coupling groove, and the upper end face of the lower cooler has a lower coupling groove and a first mounting groove, forming a coupling cavity. The heat sink is located within the first mounting groove, and the upper end of the heat sink has a second mounting groove, in which the laser chip assembly is mounted. A mounting assembly is fixedly installed within the coupling cavity. The position of each component within the packaging structure is predetermined, eliminating reliance on semi-automated testing and modulation during assembly, making it suitable for assembly line production. Furthermore, the use of a grooved cooler structure instead of the traditional sheet-like structure of a cooler allows the laser chip assembly and optical propagation assembly to be located within the laser-fiber coupling space formed by the grooves, resulting in better temperature control.
