具体地,图7为本申请实施例提供的光模块的结构示意图;图8为本申请实施例提供的光模块的分解结构示意图。参见图7和图8,本申请实施例提供的一种光模块,包括:激光器组件1、管体2和适配器4。激光器组件1用于实现根据电信号发出光信号,管体2用于实现激光器组件1与适配器4之间的固定衔接,光信号由管体2传输进适配器4,适配器4内安装有光纤插芯7,光纤插芯7是由陶瓷包裹的光纤,由光纤插芯7实现光信号的射出。Specifically, FIG. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of an optical module provided by an embodiment of this application; FIG. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of an optical module provided by an embodiment of this application. Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, an optical module provided by an embodiment of the present application includes: a laser assembly 1, a tube body 2 and an adapter 4. The laser component 1 is used to send out optical signals according to electrical signals, and the tube body 2 is used to realize the fixed connection between the laser component 1 and the adapter 4. The optical signal is transmitted from the tube body 2 to the adapter 4, and the adapter 4 is equipped with an optical fiber ferrule. 7. The optical fiber ferrule 7 is an optical fiber wrapped by ceramics, and the optical signal is emitted by the optical fiber ferrule 7.
本实施例提供的光模块,通过同一根光纤实现光的发射和接收,因此,光模块还包括用于实现将光信号转换为电信号的接收器组件9,经适配器4内的光纤插芯7传输进光模块内的光信号,经接收器组件9转换为电信号。管体2内可实现由电信号转换的光信号的传输并由光纤插芯7射出,还可实现由光纤插芯7传输进的光信号发送至接收器组件9,由接收器组件9转换为电信号,为此,激光器组件1、适配器4和接收器组件9均需固定在管体2上。The optical module provided in this embodiment realizes the transmission and reception of light through the same optical fiber. Therefore, the optical module further includes a receiver assembly 9 for converting optical signals into electrical signals. The optical fiber ferrule 7 in the adapter 4 The optical signal transmitted into the optical module is converted into an electrical signal by the receiver assembly 9. The tube body 2 can realize the transmission of the optical signal converted by the electrical signal and be emitted from the optical fiber ferrule 7, and the optical signal transmitted by the optical fiber ferrule 7 can be sent to the receiver assembly 9, which is converted into For electrical signals, the laser assembly 1, the adapter 4 and the receiver assembly 9 all need to be fixed on the tube 2 for this purpose.
如图9所示,管体2包括中空的圆管体21和中空的方管体22,圆管体21和方管体22均设有空腔。圆管体21和方管体22可通过焊接组装在一起,而为保证光模块的结构强度,在具体装配过程中,需要在圆管体21和方管体22的连接处涂抹一圈黑胶来固化。As shown in FIG. 9, the tube body 2 includes a hollow round tube body 21 and a hollow square tube body 22. Both the round tube body 21 and the square tube body 22 are provided with cavities. The round tube body 21 and the square tube body 22 can be assembled together by welding. In order to ensure the structural strength of the optical module, in the specific assembly process, a circle of black glue should be applied to the connection between the round tube body 21 and the square tube body 22 To cure.
圆管体21固定在方管体22的外侧壁,圆管体21的轴线与方管体22的外侧壁垂直,圆管体21与方管体22连通;圆管体21与激光器组件1嵌套连接,激光器组件1安装在圆管体21内,圆管体21的尺寸可以用于调节激光器组件1与光纤插芯7之间的距离,以满足汇聚光的焦距要求,激光器组件1可发出横向的光波。The circular tube body 21 is fixed on the outer side wall of the square tube body 22, the axis of the circular tube body 21 is perpendicular to the outer side wall of the square tube body 22, the circular tube body 21 is connected with the square tube body 22; the circular tube body 21 is embedded with the laser assembly 1 The laser assembly 1 is installed in the tube body 21. The size of the tube body 21 can be used to adjust the distance between the laser assembly 1 and the fiber ferrule 7 to meet the focal length requirements of the focused light. The laser assembly 1 can emit Horizontal light waves.
激光器组件1固定在管体2的一端,适配器4固定在管体2的另一端,接收器组件9固定在管体2的上端。为实现固定,方管体22的上表面、左侧壁和右侧壁均设有通孔,左侧壁的通孔与圆管体21连通;右侧壁的通孔,即方管体22的与圆管体21相对的一侧设有的通孔,该通孔用于实现方管体22与适配器4的嵌套连接,适配器4内安装有光纤插芯7,使得激光器组件1的出光口和光纤插芯7的接收口相对;上表面的通孔23用于实现接收器组件9的安装。The laser assembly 1 is fixed to one end of the tube body 2, the adapter 4 is fixed to the other end of the tube body 2, and the receiver assembly 9 is fixed to the upper end of the tube body 2. In order to achieve fixation, the upper surface, the left side wall and the right side wall of the square tube body 22 are provided with through holes. The through hole on the left side wall communicates with the round tube body 21; the through hole on the right side wall is the square tube body 22. The through hole is provided on the side opposite to the round tube body 21, and the through hole is used to realize the nested connection between the square tube body 22 and the adapter 4. The adapter 4 is equipped with an optical fiber ferrule 7 to make the laser assembly 1 emit light The opening is opposite to the receiving opening of the optical fiber ferrule 7; the through hole 23 on the upper surface is used to install the receiver assembly 9.
在由光纤插芯7发射光信号经反射后进入接收器组件9,该过程光程较短, 因此,需要接收器组件9直接通过上表面的通孔23固定在管体2上,使得光纤插芯7与接收器组件9相距较近。After the optical signal emitted by the optical fiber ferrule 7 enters the receiver assembly 9 after being reflected, the optical path of this process is short. Therefore, the receiver assembly 9 needs to be directly fixed on the tube body 2 through the through hole 23 on the upper surface, so that the optical fiber is inserted The core 7 is relatively close to the receiver assembly 9.
为实现由光纤插芯7传输进管体2的光信号再传输进接收器组件9,需在管体2内设置第一滤波片6和第二滤波片8。如图10、图11和图12所示,第一滤波片6位于激光器组件1和光纤插芯7之间,第一滤波片6呈角度安装,第一滤波片6沿由激光器组件1至光纤插芯7的方向倾斜,以使激光器组件1射出的光信号经由第一滤波片6透射后进入光纤插芯7。第二滤波片8位于第一滤波片6与接收器组件9之间,第二滤波片8与光纤插芯7的光轴平行,第二滤波片8与第一滤波片6之间呈45°夹角。In order to realize that the optical signal transmitted by the optical fiber ferrule 7 into the tube body 2 and then into the receiver assembly 9, a first filter 6 and a second filter 8 need to be arranged in the tube body 2. As shown in Figure 10, Figure 11 and Figure 12, the first filter 6 is located between the laser assembly 1 and the optical fiber ferrule 7, the first filter 6 is installed at an angle, and the first filter 6 extends from the laser assembly 1 to the optical fiber The direction of the ferrule 7 is inclined so that the optical signal emitted by the laser assembly 1 enters the optical fiber ferrule 7 after being transmitted through the first filter 6. The second filter 8 is located between the first filter 6 and the receiver assembly 9, the second filter 8 is parallel to the optical axis of the optical fiber ferrule 7, and the angle between the second filter 8 and the first filter 6 is 45° Included angle.
由光纤插芯7传输进的光信号,即在如图10所示的状态下,由右至左射进的光信号,照射在第一滤波片6后产生反射,为使反射后的光信号能够经第二滤波片8进入接收器组件9,本申请某些实施例中,设置第一滤波片6的倾斜角度为45°。光纤插芯7的光轴呈水平方向,由水平方向发射的光信号在经过45°倾斜的第一滤波片6后产生向上的反射,使得反射后的光信号能够垂直经过第二滤波片8后进入接收器组件9内,以将光信号转换为电信号。The optical signal transmitted by the optical fiber ferrule 7, that is, in the state shown in FIG. 10, the optical signal incident from right to left is irradiated on the first filter 6 and reflected to make the reflected optical signal It can enter the receiver assembly 9 through the second filter 8. In some embodiments of the present application, the tilt angle of the first filter 6 is set to 45°. The optical axis of the optical fiber ferrule 7 is in the horizontal direction, and the optical signal emitted from the horizontal direction is reflected upward after passing through the first filter 6 inclined at 45°, so that the reflected optical signal can pass through the second filter 8 vertically. Enter the receiver assembly 9 to convert the optical signal into an electrical signal.
而由激光器组件1射出的光信号,经由第一滤波片6透射后即可进入适配器4内的光纤插芯7中并射出。激光器组件1发出的光在耦合进光纤插芯7的过程中,会有一部分经过光纤插芯7端面反射回来,以及,还会发生漫反射,反射回来的光和漫反射的光会有一部分再次进入到激光器组件1中,导致激光器组件1发光的性能变差。因此,为了保证光模块的耦合效率,需将漫反射的光和反射光隔离掉。The optical signal emitted by the laser assembly 1 can enter the optical fiber ferrule 7 in the adapter 4 and be emitted after being transmitted through the first filter 6. During the process of coupling into the optical fiber ferrule 7, part of the light emitted by the laser assembly 1 will be reflected back through the end face of the optical fiber ferrule 7, and diffuse reflection will occur. The reflected light and diffusely reflected light will be partially reflected again. Entering into the laser assembly 1 causes the performance of the laser assembly 1 to emit light to deteriorate. Therefore, in order to ensure the coupling efficiency of the optical module, diffusely reflected light and reflected light need to be isolated.
本实施例中,第一滤波片6和第二滤波片8用于实现光信号的过滤,以获 得所需波长的光信号。In this embodiment, the first filter 6 and the second filter 8 are used to filter the optical signal to obtain the optical signal of the desired wavelength.
激光器组件1内安装有激光器芯片(简称芯片)11,用于实现光信号的发射,而激光器芯片11发射的光信号为发散光,因此,需在激光器芯片11的发光口设置透镜3,以实现发散光的汇聚,透镜3位于激光器芯片11和第一滤波片6之间。A laser chip (chip for short) 11 is installed in the laser assembly 1 to realize the emission of optical signals, and the optical signal emitted by the laser chip 11 is divergent light. Therefore, a lens 3 needs to be provided at the light-emitting port of the laser chip 11 to achieve For the convergence of divergent light, the lens 3 is located between the laser chip 11 and the first filter 6.
针对反射光导致激光器组件1发光的性能变差的情况,已有技术中常采用隔离器来实现反射光的隔离,但因隔离器成本高,且易对光信号产生损耗,为避免影响光信号的耦合效率,本实施例提供的光模块中,去除隔离器。在保证光模块性能的条件下,可消除隔离器本身对光的损耗,也可消除隔离器因在加工时产生的偏振方向的偏差和隔离器安装时的角度偏差带来的光损耗,提高封装时的耦合效率,可减少对激光芯片功率的需求,同时大幅度地降低同轴封装光模块的成本。In view of the deterioration of the performance of the laser assembly 1 due to the reflected light, an isolator is often used in the prior art to isolate the reflected light. However, due to the high cost of the isolator and easy loss of the optical signal, in order to avoid affecting the optical signal For coupling efficiency, in the optical module provided in this embodiment, the isolator is removed. Under the condition of ensuring the performance of the optical module, the optical loss of the isolator itself can be eliminated, and the optical loss caused by the deviation of the polarization direction generated during processing and the angle deviation of the isolator during installation can also be eliminated, thereby improving the package The high coupling efficiency can reduce the demand for laser chip power and greatly reduce the cost of coaxial packaged optical modules.
为避免去除隔离器后反射光进入激光器组件1,影响激光器组件1的工作性能,本实施例提供的光模块,在激光器芯片11贴片时,进行偏心和倾斜一定角度的处理,使激光器芯片11发出光的光轴与透镜3的中心轴成一定角度出射,以降低反射光进入激光器的可能性。具体地,激光器组件1中倾斜安装有激光器芯片11,以使激光器芯片11发出光的光轴与透镜3的中心轴呈角度。In order to prevent the reflected light from entering the laser assembly 1 after removing the isolator and affecting the working performance of the laser assembly 1, the optical module provided in this embodiment is subjected to decentering and tilting at a certain angle when the laser chip 11 is mounted to make the laser chip 11 The optical axis of the emitted light exits at a certain angle with the central axis of the lens 3 to reduce the possibility of reflected light entering the laser. Specifically, a laser chip 11 is installed obliquely in the laser assembly 1 so that the optical axis of the laser chip 11 emits light at an angle with the central axis of the lens 3.
如图13所示,将激光器芯片11倾斜1°至10°左右,使得激光器芯片11发出光的光轴(chip axis)不与透镜3的中心轴重合,透镜3的中心轴(lens axis)为沿水平方向,使得倾斜后的激光器芯片11发出光的光轴与透镜3的中心轴之间存在夹角。而由于光纤插芯7的光轴(fiber axis)为水平方向,使得光纤插芯7的光轴与激光器芯片11发出光的光轴之间也呈角度。倾斜后的激光 器芯片11发出光的光轴如图13中左侧箭头指向的虚线部分,透镜3的中心轴如图13中位于中间的箭头指向的实线部分,光纤插芯7的光轴如图13中右侧箭头指向的实线部分。以倾斜后的激光器芯片11发射三条光波为例,三条发散的光波经过透镜3后汇聚射出,三条发散的光波的光轴均不与透镜3的中心轴重合。汇聚后的光波经过第一滤波片6过滤后,符合波段需求的光波耦合进适配器4中的光纤插芯7中,由光纤插芯7实现耦合光束的射出。As shown in Figure 13, the laser chip 11 is tilted from 1° to 10° so that the chip axis of the laser chip 11 does not coincide with the central axis of the lens 3, and the central axis of the lens 3 is Along the horizontal direction, there is an angle between the optical axis of the tilted laser chip 11 and the central axis of the lens 3. Since the optical axis of the optical fiber ferrule 7 is horizontal, the optical axis of the optical fiber ferrule 7 and the optical axis of the laser chip 11 are also at an angle. The optical axis of the tilted laser chip 11 is shown in Figure 13 as the dotted line on the left side of the arrow, the central axis of the lens 3 is shown in Figure 13 as the solid line in the middle of the arrow, and the optical axis of the optical fiber ferrule 7 is shown as Figure 13 shows the part of the solid line pointed to by the arrow on the right. Taking the tilted laser chip 11 to emit three light waves as an example, the three divergent light waves are converged and emitted after passing through the lens 3, and the optical axes of the three divergent light waves do not coincide with the central axis of the lens 3. After the converged light waves are filtered by the first filter 6, the light waves that meet the band requirements are coupled into the optical fiber ferrule 7 in the adapter 4, and the optical fiber ferrule 7 realizes the emission of the coupled light beam.
如果激光器芯片11按照正常角度实现同轴封装,即激光器芯片11发出光的光轴与透镜3的中心轴重合,那么激光器芯片11发射的光波经透镜3汇聚和第一滤波片6滤波后耦合进光纤插芯7时,汇聚后的光波进入光纤插芯7内的进光轴将与光纤插芯7的光轴重合。也就是说,激光器芯片11在按照正常角度安装时,激光器芯片11、透镜3、第一滤波片6和光纤插芯7之间会形成一条固定的光信号传输路径(原光路),即由激光器芯片11发出光的光轴射出的光波经过透镜3的中心轴和第一滤波片6后会耦合进光纤插芯7的光轴并射出,那么会导致在由光纤插芯7向接收器组件9发射光信号时,其中一部分的光信号会沿发射光信号的传输路径可逆的发射回激光器芯片11中,即该由右至左发射的光信号经过第一滤波片6,沿透镜3的中心轴进入激光器芯片11发出光的光轴,进而进入激光器组件1内,导致激光器组件1发光的性能变差。If the laser chip 11 is coaxially packaged at a normal angle, that is, the optical axis of the laser chip 11 coincides with the central axis of the lens 3, then the light wave emitted by the laser chip 11 is converged by the lens 3 and filtered by the first filter 6 and then coupled into When the optical fiber ferrule 7 is used, the optical axis of the converged light wave entering the optical fiber ferrule 7 will coincide with the optical axis of the optical fiber ferrule 7. In other words, when the laser chip 11 is installed at a normal angle, a fixed optical signal transmission path (original optical path) will be formed between the laser chip 11, the lens 3, the first filter 6 and the optical fiber ferrule 7. The light wave emitted from the optical axis of the light emitted by the chip 11 passes through the central axis of the lens 3 and the first filter 6 and then is coupled into the optical axis of the optical fiber ferrule 7 and emitted, which will cause the optical fiber ferrule 7 to transfer to the receiver assembly 9 When the optical signal is emitted, part of the optical signal will be reversibly emitted back to the laser chip 11 along the transmission path of the emitted optical signal, that is, the optical signal emitted from right to left passes through the first filter 6 along the central axis of the lens 3. It enters the optical axis of the laser chip 11 to emit light, and then enters the laser assembly 1, resulting in poor performance of the laser assembly 1 to emit light.
因此,采用本实施例提供的倾斜的激光器芯片11,其反射的光波不会沿原光路可逆的回到激光器芯片中,在由激光器组件1发射的光波耦合进光纤插芯7时,经过光纤插芯7端面反射回来的光波不会沿原传输路径返回,也就不会通过激光器芯片11发出光的光轴进入激光器组件1内。可见,通过将激光器芯片11进行偏心和倾斜一定角度处理,改变激光器芯片11发出光的光轴方向,可以 降低光模块内的反射光再次进入激光器组件1中的可能性,进而避免影响激光器组件1的发光性能。Therefore, with the inclined laser chip 11 provided in this embodiment, the reflected light wave will not reversibly return to the laser chip along the original optical path. When the light wave emitted by the laser assembly 1 is coupled into the optical fiber ferrule 7, it passes through the optical fiber insert. The light waves reflected from the end surface of the core 7 will not return along the original transmission path, and will not enter the laser assembly 1 through the optical axis of the laser chip 11 emitting light. It can be seen that by decentering and tilting the laser chip 11 to a certain angle, changing the optical axis direction of the light emitted by the laser chip 11 can reduce the possibility of the reflected light in the optical module entering the laser assembly 1 again, thereby avoiding affecting the laser assembly 1. The luminous performance.
为进一步阻隔反射光和漫反射等杂散光,本实施例提供的光模块,在透镜3的出光口端设置阻隔件5,如图10、图11和图12所示。阻隔件5的大小可保证激光器芯片11的出射光束通过,不会对激光器芯片11发射的光产生损耗。In order to further block stray light such as reflected light and diffuse reflection, the optical module provided in this embodiment is provided with a blocking member 5 at the light exit end of the lens 3, as shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 11, and FIG. The size of the blocking member 5 can ensure that the emitted light beam of the laser chip 11 passes without causing loss of light emitted by the laser chip 11.
具体地,管体2内安装有阻隔件5,阻隔件5位于透镜3和适配器4之间,在本申请的某些实施例中,阻隔件5位于透镜3和第一滤波片6之间;激光器芯片11发出的光波,经透镜3汇聚进入阻隔件5,阻隔件5内传输的光经由第一滤波片6后再耦合进光纤插芯7,由光纤插芯7实现耦合光束的射出。Specifically, a blocking member 5 is installed in the tube body 2, and the blocking member 5 is located between the lens 3 and the adapter 4. In some embodiments of the present application, the blocking member 5 is located between the lens 3 and the first filter 6; The light waves emitted by the laser chip 11 enter the barrier 5 through the lens 3, and the light transmitted in the barrier 5 passes through the first filter 6 and then is coupled into the optical fiber ferrule 7, and the optical fiber ferrule 7 realizes the emission of the coupled beam.
本实施例提供的阻隔件5,采用锥形结构,以阻挡反射光再通过阻隔件5返回激光器组件1中。为此,如图14(a)、图14(b)、图14(c)、图14(d)所示,阻隔件5的靠近透镜3的一端设有进光口51,阻隔件5的靠近适配器4的一端设有出光口52;由进光口51至出光口52,阻隔件5内腔的53的截面面积逐渐减小,使得阻隔件5呈现一头大一头小的结构。光通道53的表面为过度面,使光通道53呈锥形。The barrier 5 provided in this embodiment adopts a tapered structure to block the reflected light from returning to the laser assembly 1 through the barrier 5. To this end, as shown in Figure 14 (a), Figure 14 (b), Figure 14 (c), Figure 14 (d), the end of the barrier 5 close to the lens 3 is provided with a light inlet 51, the barrier 5 An end close to the adapter 4 is provided with a light outlet 52; from the light inlet 51 to the light outlet 52, the cross-sectional area of the inner cavity 53 of the barrier 5 gradually decreases, so that the barrier 5 presents a structure that is larger and smaller. The surface of the light channel 53 is a transition surface, so that the light channel 53 is tapered.
如图15所示,阻隔件5通过进光口51与透镜3贴合安装,激光器芯片(简称芯片)11发出的光为发散光,在经过透镜3后发生汇聚,汇聚光束的光斑由大光斑逐渐转变为小光斑;而阻隔件5的进光口51大于出光口52,进光口51可以包容大光斑的光束进入,小光斑从出光口52射出,再由进光口51向出光口52尺寸过度的过程中,汇聚光束的光斑也在逐渐变小,汇聚光束形状的外廓与阻隔件5的内腔内廓形状相同,使得阻隔件5贴合在透镜3上时,透镜3汇聚的光波可大部分通过阻隔件5,不会对光产生损耗。As shown in Fig. 15, the barrier 5 is attached to the lens 3 through the light inlet 51, and the light emitted by the laser chip (chip for short) 11 is divergent light, which converges after passing through the lens 3. The spot of the condensed beam is changed from the large spot It gradually transforms into a small spot; and the light inlet 51 of the barrier 5 is larger than the light outlet 52, and the light inlet 51 can accommodate the light beam with a large spot. The small spot is emitted from the light outlet 52, and then from the light inlet 51 to the light outlet 52 In the process of excessive size, the spot of the converging beam is gradually becoming smaller. The shape of the converging beam is the same as the inner shape of the inner cavity of the barrier 5, so that when the barrier 5 is attached to the lens 3, the lens 3 converges Most of the light waves can pass through the barrier 5 without loss of light.
而为阻挡反射光,如图16所示,阻隔件5的靠近光纤插芯7的一端设计成小尺寸,即出光口52的尺寸小于进光口51的尺寸。光波照射在光纤插芯7的端面的光为汇聚光,而汇聚光反射回来后会变为发散光,即反射光的光斑由小光斑转变为大光斑,以大光斑的形式反射到阻隔件5的出光口52端。而由于出光口52较小,出光口52的直径小于反射光光斑的直径,使得大部分反射光照射在阻隔件5的外壁上,以阻挡一部分光波由出光口52进入阻隔件5内,进而避免通过阻隔件5返回进激光器组件1。In order to block the reflected light, as shown in FIG. 16, the end of the blocking member 5 close to the optical fiber ferrule 7 is designed to have a small size, that is, the size of the light outlet 52 is smaller than the size of the light inlet 51. The light irradiated by the light wave on the end face of the optical fiber ferrule 7 is convergent light, and the convergent light will become divergent light after being reflected back, that is, the light spot of the reflected light changes from a small spot to a large spot, and it is reflected to the barrier 5 in the form of a large spot. The light exit 52 end. Since the light outlet 52 is small, the diameter of the light outlet 52 is smaller than the diameter of the reflected light spot, so that most of the reflected light is irradiated on the outer wall of the barrier 5 to block part of the light waves from entering the barrier 5 through the light outlet 52, thereby avoiding Return into the laser assembly 1 through the barrier 5.
为保证激光器芯片11做偏心和倾斜处理后的耦合效率,本实施例提供的光模块,将适配器4端面的倾斜角度增大。具体地,如图12所示,适配器4的远离激光器组件1的一端设有喇叭形的开口41,开口41呈现一头大一头小的结构,远离光纤插芯7端面的一端尺寸较大,靠近光纤插芯7端面的一端尺寸较小,使开口41的内壁呈现倾斜状态。开口41起到导向作用,便于外部光纤***。In order to ensure the coupling efficiency of the laser chip 11 after eccentricity and tilt processing, the optical module provided in this embodiment increases the inclination angle of the end face of the adapter 4. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the end of the adapter 4 away from the laser assembly 1 is provided with a horn-shaped opening 41. The opening 41 presents a structure with a large end and a small end. The end away from the end face of the optical fiber ferrule 7 has a larger size and is close to the optical fiber. The size of one end of the end face of the ferrule 7 is small, so that the inner wall of the opening 41 is inclined. The opening 41 serves as a guide to facilitate the insertion of external optical fibers.
由以上技术方案可知,本申请实施例提供的一种光模块,包括激光器组件1、管体2和适配器4,激光器组件1伸入管体2的一端设有透镜3,激光器组件1中倾斜安装有激光器芯片11,对激光器芯片11进行偏心和倾斜处理,使激光器芯片11发出光的光轴与透镜3的中心轴呈角度,以改变发射光的传输路径,进而避免反射光沿原光信号传输路径进入激光器组件1中。适配器4固定在管体2的另一端,适配器4内安装有光纤插芯7,光纤插芯7的光轴与激光器芯片11发出光的光轴呈角度;激光器芯片11发出的光,经透镜3汇聚再耦合进光纤插芯7,进入光纤插芯7的进光轴与光纤插芯7的光轴不重合,可避免反射光沿原固定的光信号传输路径传输,进而不会沿激光器芯片11发出光的光轴进入激光 器组件1内。It can be seen from the above technical solutions that an optical module provided by an embodiment of the present application includes a laser assembly 1, a tube body 2 and an adapter 4. The laser assembly 1 is provided with a lens 3 at one end of the tube body 2, and the laser assembly 1 is installed obliquely There is a laser chip 11, the laser chip 11 is decentered and tilted, so that the optical axis of the laser chip 11 is at an angle to the central axis of the lens 3 to change the transmission path of the emitted light, thereby avoiding the transmission of the reflected light along the original light signal The path enters the laser assembly 1. The adapter 4 is fixed at the other end of the tube body 2. The adapter 4 is equipped with an optical fiber ferrule 7. The optical axis of the optical fiber ferrule 7 is at an angle to the optical axis of the laser chip 11; the light emitted by the laser chip 11 passes through the lens 3. Converge and then couple into the optical fiber ferrule 7, and the optical axis of the optical fiber ferrule 7 does not coincide with the optical axis of the optical fiber ferrule 7, which can prevent the reflected light from being transmitted along the original fixed optical signal transmission path, and then not along the laser chip 11. The optical axis of the emitted light enters the laser assembly 1.
激光器芯片发出的光为发散光,在透镜处发生汇聚,汇聚光束的光斑由大光斑逐渐转变为小光斑;而阻隔件的进光口大于出光口,进光口可以包容大光斑的光束进入,小光斑从出光***出,阻隔件内腔的截面面积由进光口至出光口逐渐减小,汇聚光束的光斑也在逐渐变小,使得汇聚光束形状的外廓与阻隔件的内腔形状相同,大部分的汇聚光束可以通过阻隔件;而在适配器处产生的反射光,向阻隔件方向传播时呈现发散状态,光斑较大,而阻隔件位于适配器一段的出光口较小,大部分反射光被阻隔件的外壁阻拦,无法通过阻隔件的出光口回到激光器芯片中,避免反射光对激光器芯片出光产生影响。The light emitted by the laser chip is divergent light, which is converged at the lens, and the spot of the condensed beam is gradually changed from a large spot to a small spot; and the light entrance of the barrier is larger than the light exit, and the light entrance can contain the light beam with a large spot. A small light spot is emitted from the light outlet, the cross-sectional area of the inner cavity of the barrier gradually decreases from the light inlet to the light outlet, and the spot of the converged beam is also gradually reduced, making the outer profile of the convergent beam shape the same as the inner cavity of the barrier , Most of the convergent light beam can pass through the barrier; while the reflected light generated at the adapter shows a divergent state when propagating in the direction of the barrier, the light spot is larger, and the light exit of the barrier at the adapter section is small, and most of the reflected light It is blocked by the outer wall of the barrier and cannot return to the laser chip through the light exit port of the barrier, so as to prevent the reflected light from affecting the light output of the laser chip.
阻隔件的形态可以阻拦大部分的反射光回到激光芯片中,结合激光器芯片进行偏心和倾斜处理,使得反射回来的光偏离原光路,进一步使得大部分的反射光反射至阻隔件的外壁上,减少通过阻隔件出光口回到激光器芯片的光。The shape of the barrier can block most of the reflected light from returning to the laser chip, combined with the laser chip for eccentricity and tilt processing, so that the reflected light deviates from the original optical path, and further causes most of the reflected light to be reflected to the outer wall of the barrier. Reduce the light returning to the laser chip through the light exit of the barrier.
可见,本实施例提供的光模块,不会对激光器芯片11发射的光产生损耗,并可实现反射光的隔离,降低光模块内的反射光再次进入激光器组件1中的可能性,进而避免影响激光器组件1的发光性能,保证光模块的耦合效率。It can be seen that the optical module provided in this embodiment will not cause loss to the light emitted by the laser chip 11, and can realize the isolation of reflected light, reduce the possibility that the reflected light in the optical module enters the laser assembly 1 again, thereby avoiding influence The luminous performance of the laser assembly 1 ensures the coupling efficiency of the optical module.
