Technical field
This case is that submission, Application No. 201310196860.2, patent name on 05 24th, 2013 are for being applied to width Optical module in temperature range and the divisional application of operating temperature control method thereof.
The present invention relates to Fibre Optical Communication Technology, particularly relate to a kind of optical module being applied in wide temperature range and work thereof Temperature control method.
Background technology
In recent years, along with enhancement mode 8.5G optical-fibre channel and the fast development of 10G Ethernet high speed optical networks agreement, to super The demand of high rate optical transceiver module increases day by day, and the requirement to module port density and power consumption is more and more higher simultaneously.
10Gbit/s optical transceiver module in the past few years, experienced by from 300pin MSA, XENPAK (10,000,000,000 ether Net), XPAK, X2, XFP optical module (ten thousand mbit ethernet optical transceiver modules) to SFP optical module (gigabit Ethernet optical transceiver module)+ Transformation.SFP+ optical module is as the upgrading of SFP (small form-factor pluggables, SFP) optical module Version, meets IEEE 802.3AE/AQ and 8G/10G fiber channel protocol specification, and module size reduces 40% compared with XFP, tool Having higher port density and lower power consumption, transmission range also increases to 10km, 40km and 80km from 300m.
SFP+ optical module of the prior art, when distance (such as 40km and 80km) is transmitted, needs to use loss less Window wavelength be transmitted the receiving sensitivity requirement of guarantee communications, general use 1550nm single-mode fiber to carry out Transmission.Directly modulation can produce serious laser chip phenomenon simultaneously, and (bias current of laser instrument is modulated by signal, and light takes place frequently Raw skew and shake).Chirp can produce serious distortion.This distortion, with transmission range, transmission bandwidth and channel number Increase and become the most serious.Comprehensive factors above, distance SFP+ generally uses the externally modulated laser of 1550nm, such as, makes With more universal EML (Electroabsorption Modulated Laser, electro-absorption modulation is radium-shine) laser instrument.EML laser The characteristic of device can have greatly changed with the change of operating temperature so that the parameters such as the power of optical signal, wavelength occur the biggest Change, eye diagram quality also becomes very poor;Also can be very poor by the signal quality after fiber-optic transfer, the bit error rate becomes greatly thus shadow Ring the q&r of communication.Under normal circumstances for ensureing the quality of optical signal, it is necessary to keep swashing of EML laser instrument transmitting Luminous power and the extinction ratio of light are constant, and the change of the wavelength of laser is less than predetermined scope;Thus, it is desirable to keep EML laser The operating temperature of device constant.
In prior art, need to carry out the SFP+ optical module of long range propagation as shown in Figure 1a, generally use and be built-in with TEC Laser instrument, such as EML laser instrument.TEC (Thermoelectric cooler, thermoelectric refrigerator) control circuit in optical module Temperature constant within keeping laser instrument, i.e. keeps the working temperature constant of laser instrument.Specifically, laser instrument is also built-in with Thermocouple, along with the change of temperature, the resistance of thermocouple also can change accordingly;TEC control circuit is built-in by detection laser The resistance of thermocouple, the built-in TEC of closed loop regulation laser instrument carries out heating or freeze so that the temperature in laser instrument keeps permanent Fixed.
But, in hot environment more than 70 DEG C or the low temperature environment of less than-5 DEG C, if use above-mentioned heating or The method of refrigeration makes the temperature in laser instrument keep constant, then need to consume bigger electric current;Owing to needing to consume bigger electricity Stream, power consumption and the heat dispersion of the SFP+ optical module that this is little to volume, component density is high propose the requirement being difficult to;Following table 1 shows under different temperatures environment, the restriction of maximum current consumed to optical module:
