The optical fiber ferrule 21 emits the received light emitted by the light emitting device 6. In the signal conversion process, after the light emitting device 6 receives the electric signal, it converts the electric signal into an optical signal and sends it out, and then enters the optical fiber adapter 2 corresponding to the light emitting device 6 and emits it.
为了对光器件(光发射器件6和光接收器件8)进行供电,本实施例提供的光模块,分别为光发射器件6和光接收器件8配置相应的柔性电路板,即在内壳1的一端安装有第一柔性电路板3和第二柔性电路板4。两个柔性电路板与光纤适配器2安装在内壳1的不同侧面上,内壳的与光纤适配器2的安装位置相对的一端外侧壁开设柔性板安装槽13,将第一柔性电路板3和第二柔性电路板4固定在柔性板安装槽13内。In order to supply power to the optical devices (light emitting device 6 and light receiving device 8), the optical module provided in this embodiment is configured with corresponding flexible circuit boards for the light emitting device 6 and the light receiving device 8, respectively, that is, installed at one end of the inner housing 1. There are a first flexible circuit board 3 and a second flexible circuit board 4. The two flexible circuit boards and the optical fiber adapter 2 are installed on different sides of the inner shell 1, and the outer side wall of the inner shell opposite to the installation position of the optical fiber adapter 2 is provided with a flexible board installation groove 13, and the first flexible circuit board 3 and the second The two flexible circuit boards 4 are fixed in the flexible board installation groove 13.
光发射腔101内设有光发射器件6,第一柔性电路板3延伸至光发射腔101内,第一柔性电路板3与光发射器件6电连接。第一柔性电路板3为光发射器件6供电和提供电信号,光发射器件6将接收到的电信号转换为光信号后射出。光接收腔102内设有光接收器件8,第二柔性电路板4延伸至光接收腔102内,第二柔性电路板4与光接收器件8电连接,光接收器件8在接收到来自光纤适配器2的光信号后传输至第二柔性电路板4形成电信号。The light emitting cavity 101 is provided with a light emitting device 6, the first flexible circuit board 3 extends into the light emitting cavity 101, and the first flexible circuit board 3 is electrically connected to the light emitting device 6. The first flexible circuit board 3 supplies power and electrical signals to the light emitting device 6, and the light emitting device 6 converts the received electrical signal into an optical signal and emits it. A light receiving device 8 is provided in the light receiving cavity 102. The second flexible circuit board 4 extends into the light receiving cavity 102. The second flexible circuit board 4 is electrically connected to the light receiving device 8. The light receiving device 8 is The optical signal of 2 is transmitted to the second flexible circuit board 4 to form an electrical signal.
本实施例提供的光模块为单纤双向的光模块,光发射器件6和光接收器件8共用一个光纤适配器2,即由光纤适配器2同时进行光信号的接收和发出。为实现光信号的接收,光发射器件6的出光口与光纤适配器2的入光口对应,光发射器件6发出的光由入光口进入光纤适配器2后射出。The optical module provided in this embodiment is a single-fiber bidirectional optical module, and the light emitting device 6 and the light receiving device 8 share an optical fiber adapter 2, that is, the optical fiber adapter 2 simultaneously receives and transmits optical signals. In order to realize the reception of optical signals, the light exit of the light emitting device 6 corresponds to the light entrance of the optical fiber adapter 2, and the light emitted by the light emitting device 6 enters the optical fiber adapter 2 through the light entrance and is emitted.
由于光发射器件6和光接收器件8封装在同一个腔体内,光纤适配器2与光发射器件6对应设置,来自光纤适配器2的光信号会先在光发射腔101内传播,而光接收器件8位于光发射器件6的一侧,光纤适配器2的出光口与光接收器件8的入光口无法对应,使得来自光纤适配器2的光信号无法被光接收器件8接收到。因此,为使光接收器件8能够接收到来自光纤适配器2的光信号,需要将光发射腔101内的光信号反射进光接收腔102,进而被光接收器件8接收。Since the light emitting device 6 and the light receiving device 8 are packaged in the same cavity, the optical fiber adapter 2 and the light emitting device 6 are arranged correspondingly, the optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2 will first propagate in the light emitting cavity 101, and the light receiving device 8 is located On one side of the light emitting device 6, the light exit port of the optical fiber adapter 2 and the light entrance port of the light receiving device 8 cannot correspond to each other, so that the optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2 cannot be received by the light receiving device 8. Therefore, in order for the light receiving device 8 to receive the optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2, the optical signal in the light emitting cavity 101 needs to be reflected into the light receiving cavity 102 and then received by the light receiving device 8.
而为避免光发射器件6和光接收器件8之间产生热串扰,在光发射器件6和光接收器件8之间设有隔热板5。那么在将光发射腔101内的光信号反射进光接收腔102内时,需要该光信号穿过隔热板5,因此,本实施例提供的光模块,在隔热板5上设有光通口51。In order to avoid thermal crosstalk between the light emitting device 6 and the light receiving device 8, a heat shield 5 is provided between the light emitting device 6 and the light receiving device 8. Then, when the light signal in the light emitting cavity 101 is reflected into the light receiving cavity 102, the light signal needs to pass through the heat insulation board 5. Therefore, in the optical module provided in this embodiment, the light signal is provided on the heat insulation board 5. Port 51.
由于光纤适配器2中光纤插芯21朝向光发射器件6,而不朝向光接收器件8,来自光纤适配器2的光信号会先在光发射腔101内传播,为使光接收器件8通过光通口51接收来自光纤适配器2的光信号,如图8所示的光模块的另一角度的结构示意图,在光发射腔101内设有倾斜设置的第一滤波片88,第一滤波片88位于光通口51处,且位于靠近光发射器件6的一侧,第一滤波片88的倾斜方向为沿光纤适配器2至光发射器件6的方向。将第一滤波片88设置在光纤适配器2传过来的光信号的传播路径上,使得来自光纤适配器2的光信号能够照射在倾斜设置的第一滤波片88上,从而产生反射。Since the optical fiber ferrule 21 in the optical fiber adapter 2 faces the light emitting device 6 instead of the light receiving device 8, the optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2 will first propagate in the light emitting cavity 101, so that the light receiving device 8 can pass through the optical port 51 receives the optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2, as shown in FIG. 8 is a schematic structural view of the optical module from another angle. In the light emitting cavity 101, a first filter 88 is arranged obliquely, and the first filter 88 is located in the light At the port 51 and on the side close to the light emitting device 6, the inclination direction of the first filter 88 is from the optical fiber adapter 2 to the light emitting device 6. The first filter 88 is arranged on the propagation path of the optical signal transmitted from the optical fiber adapter 2, so that the optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2 can be irradiated on the first filter 88 arranged obliquely, thereby generating reflection.
来自光纤适配器2的光信号在向光发射器件6的方向传播时,会传播到位于光发射器件6和光纤适配器2之间的第一滤波片88上,在第一滤波片88上产生反射,形成的反射光经过光通口51进入光接收腔102中,并射进光接收器件8内。When the optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2 propagates in the direction of the light emitting device 6, it will propagate to the first filter 88 located between the light emitting device 6 and the optical fiber adapter 2, and reflect on the first filter 88. The formed reflected light enters the light receiving cavity 102 through the light passage 51 and enters the light receiving device 8.
可见,本申请一些实施例提供的光模块,具有单纤双向的结构特点,由一个光纤适配器2并行实现光信号的发射和接收,即光发射器件6和光接收器件8封装在同一个内壳1内,由同一个光纤适配器2接收光发射器件6发射的光信号,并同时发射光信号被光接收器件8接收,实现光电信号的转换,提高耦合效果。It can be seen that the optical module provided by some embodiments of the present application has a single-fiber bidirectional structure. A fiber optic adapter 2 implements the transmission and reception of optical signals in parallel, that is, the light emitting device 6 and the light receiving device 8 are encapsulated in the same inner housing 1. Inside, the same optical fiber adapter 2 receives the optical signal emitted by the light emitting device 6, and at the same time the emitted optical signal is received by the light receiving device 8, to realize the conversion of the photoelectric signal and improve the coupling effect.
为进一步说明本申请实施例提供的光模块的结构特点和所能取得的有益效果,按照光信号的传播路径,以光发射腔101和光接收腔102进行分别的介绍。In order to further illustrate the structural characteristics and the beneficial effects of the optical module provided by the embodiments of the present application, according to the propagation path of the optical signal, the light emitting cavity 101 and the light receiving cavity 102 are respectively introduced.

参见图9和图10,本申请实施例提供的光模块,在光发射腔101内,光发射器件6包括激光芯片61、会聚透镜63、光隔离器64和一体化平台65。激光芯片61用于根据电信号发出光信号;会聚透镜63用于将分散的光信号会聚成平行光,避免长距离传输时出现光损耗;光隔离器64是允许光向一个方向通过而阻止向相反方向通过的无源器件,用于对光的传播方向进行限制,使光只能单方向传输,通过光纤回波反射的光能够被光隔离器64很好的隔离,提高光波传输效率;一体化平台65作为固定底座,用于固定其他光发射器件,如光隔离器64、聚焦透镜80和第一滤波片88等,以调整光发射器件的高度,使得光发射器件6的出光口能够与光纤适配器2的入光口对应,提高光耦合效果。Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, in the optical module provided by the embodiment of the present application, in the light emitting cavity 101, the light emitting device 6 includes a laser chip 61, a condensing lens 63, an optical isolator 64 and an integrated platform 65. The laser chip 61 is used to send out optical signals according to electrical signals; the condensing lens 63 is used to converge the scattered optical signals into parallel light to avoid optical loss during long-distance transmission; the optical isolator 64 allows light to pass in one direction while preventing Passive components passing in the opposite direction are used to limit the propagation direction of light so that the light can only be transmitted in a single direction. The light reflected by the optical fiber echo can be well isolated by the optical isolator 64, which improves the efficiency of light wave transmission; The chemical platform 65 is used as a fixed base for fixing other light emitting devices, such as the optical isolator 64, the focusing lens 80 and the first filter 88, etc., to adjust the height of the light emitting device so that the light exit of the light emitting device 6 can be in contact with The optical input port of the fiber optic adapter 2 corresponds to the optical coupling effect.
在光发射腔101内,光信号的传播路径为激光芯片61产生光信号,进入光纤适配器2的光纤插芯21内后射出。由于激光芯片61产生的光信号为偏振光,为避免长距离传输时产生光损耗,在光信号的发出方向上设置会聚透镜63,由会聚透镜63将激光芯片61发出的光信号变为平行光,继续向光纤适配器2的方向传播。In the light emitting cavity 101, the propagation path of the optical signal is for the laser chip 61 to generate the optical signal, which enters the optical fiber ferrule 21 of the optical fiber adapter 2 and is emitted. Since the optical signal generated by the laser chip 61 is polarized light, in order to avoid light loss during long-distance transmission, a condensing lens 63 is arranged in the direction of the optical signal. The condensing lens 63 converts the optical signal from the laser chip 61 into parallel light. , Continue to propagate in the direction of the fiber optic adapter 2.
而为避免光信号在进入光纤插芯21后有部分光再反射回来,并按照原传播路径进入激光芯片61,影响激光芯片61的性能,本实施例中,在会聚透镜63和光纤适配器2之间设置光隔离器64,会聚透镜63设于激光芯片61和光隔离器64之间。光信号进入光隔离器64后,在光的偏振方向发生旋转后再射出,射出的光信号进入光纤适配器2的光纤插芯21内。In order to prevent the optical signal from being reflected back after entering the optical fiber ferrule 21, and entering the laser chip 61 according to the original propagation path, the performance of the laser chip 61 is affected. In this embodiment, between the condensing lens 63 and the optical fiber adapter 2 An optical isolator 64 is provided between, and the condensing lens 63 is provided between the laser chip 61 and the optical isolator 64. After the optical signal enters the optical isolator 64, it is emitted after the polarization direction of the light is rotated, and the emitted optical signal enters the optical fiber ferrule 21 of the optical fiber adapter 2.
如果光信号在光纤插芯21处产生反射,反射光沿原传播路径再次照射到光隔离器64的出光口,但由于光信号的偏振方向发生改变,反射光已无法再按照原传播路径进入光隔离器64内,因此,可以避免反射光再次通过光隔离器64进入激光芯片61中,避免影响激光芯片61的发光性能。If the optical signal is reflected at the optical fiber ferrule 21, the reflected light illuminates the light exit of the optical isolator 64 again along the original propagation path, but due to the change of the polarization direction of the optical signal, the reflected light can no longer enter the light along the original propagation path. In the isolator 64, therefore, it is possible to prevent the reflected light from entering the laser chip 61 through the optical isolator 64 again, and to avoid affecting the light-emitting performance of the laser chip 61.
为精准调整光发射器件的在光路传输上的高度,使得光发射器件的出光口与光纤适配器2的入光口对应,本实施例中,将光隔离器64固定在一体化平台65的侧壁上,一体化平台65内设有与光隔离器64的出光口连通的通光路径,一体化平台65中通光路径的出光口与光纤适配器2的入光口对应。通光路径用于实现经过光隔离器64的光信号的传播,由通光路径射出的光信号即可进入光纤适配器中。In order to precisely adjust the height of the light emitting device on the optical path transmission, so that the light exit port of the light emitting device corresponds to the light entrance port of the optical fiber adapter 2, in this embodiment, the optical isolator 64 is fixed on the side wall of the integrated platform 65 Above, the integrated platform 65 is provided with a light path communicating with the light exit port of the optical isolator 64, and the light exit port of the light path in the integrated platform 65 corresponds to the light entrance port of the optical fiber adapter 2. The optical path is used to realize the propagation of the optical signal through the optical isolator 64, and the optical signal emitted from the optical path can enter the optical fiber adapter.
因此,在光发射腔101内,如图10中的虚线箭头所示路径,光信号的传播路径为:激光芯片61发出的光经过会聚透镜63会聚后,形成的平行光经过光 隔离器64进入通光路径后射出,形成的出射光进入光纤适配器2中的光纤插芯21后射出。Therefore, in the light emitting cavity 101, as shown by the dashed arrow in FIG. 10, the propagation path of the optical signal is: after the light emitted by the laser chip 61 is condensed by the condensing lens 63, the formed parallel light enters through the optical isolator 64 After passing the light path, it is emitted, and the formed emitted light enters the optical fiber ferrule 21 in the optical fiber adapter 2 and then is emitted.

To this end, the light emitting device 6 further includes a first ceramic substrate 60, and a first conductive metal layer 62 and a photodetector 66 provided on the first ceramic substrate 60. The integrated platform 65 is used to adjust the height of the optical isolator 64 in the optical path transmission, and the first ceramic substrate 60 is used to adjust the height of the laser chip 61 and the condensing lens 63 in the optical path transmission so that the optical axes of the two coincide, It coincides with the optical axis of the optical isolator 64 and the optical axis of the optical fiber ferrule 21 in the optical fiber adapter 2 to improve the optical coupling effect.

The laser chip 61 is arranged on the first conductive metal layer 62. The laser chip 61 is connected to the anode of the first conductive metal layer 62 by wire bonding. The layer 62 is used to transmit electrical signals to the laser chip 61. The first ceramic substrate 60 is connected to the first flexible circuit board 3 through the first conductive metal layer 62, and the electrical signal of the first conductive metal layer 62 is provided by the first flexible circuit board 3.
光探测器66位于激光芯片61的后方,光纤适配器2位于激光芯片61的前方,光探测器66的光感面与激光芯片61的向后发射光信号的出光口对应。激光芯片61发出的光信号中,其中大功率光信号朝向光纤适配器2的方向传播(向前传播),而小功率光信号并向光探测器66的方向传播(向后传播)。The light detector 66 is located behind the laser chip 61, the optical fiber adapter 2 is located in front of the laser chip 61, and the light sensing surface of the light detector 66 corresponds to the light exit port of the laser chip 61 that emits light signals backward. Among the optical signals emitted by the laser chip 61, the high-power optical signals propagate in the direction of the optical fiber adapter 2 (forward propagation), and the low-power optical signals propagate in the direction of the photodetector 66 (backward propagation).
激光芯片61发出的小功率光信号被光探测器66接收,光探测器66用于对激光芯片61发出的小功率光信号进行功率监控。进入光探测器66的光功率一般远小于激光芯片61发射的光波总功率,通常设定进入光探测器66内进行功率检测的功率为总功率的1/10。The low-power optical signal emitted by the laser chip 61 is received by the optical detector 66, and the optical detector 66 is used for power monitoring of the low-power optical signal emitted by the laser chip 61. The power of the light entering the photodetector 66 is generally much smaller than the total power of the light waves emitted by the laser chip 61, and the power entering the photodetector 66 for power detection is usually set to 1/10 of the total power.

In the light emitting cavity 101, the laser chip 61 is fixed on the first ceramic substrate 60, and the condensing lens 63 is located on the light propagation path of the laser chip 61. The optical isolator 64 is fixed on the integrated platform 65, and the height of the laser chip 61, the condensing lens 63 and the optical isolator 64 can be precisely adjusted, so that the light exit of the laser chip 61 corresponds to the light entrance of the condensing lens 63, and the condensing lens 63 The optical output port of the optical isolator 64 corresponds to the optical input port of the optical isolator 64, and the optical output port of the optical isolator 64 corresponds to the optical input port of the optical fiber adapter 2. The optical signal emitted by the laser chip 61 can be all received by the optical fiber adapter 2 to ensure optical coupling effect.
在光接收腔102内,光接收器件8在接收来自光纤适配器2的光信号时,需要将在光发射腔101内传播的光信号反射进光接收腔102内。为此,本实施例中,采用设置倾斜的第一滤波片88的方式将光信号反射进光接收腔102内。In the light receiving cavity 102, when the light receiving device 8 receives the optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2, it needs to reflect the optical signal propagating in the light emitting cavity 101 into the light receiving cavity 102. For this reason, in this embodiment, the optical signal is reflected into the light receiving cavity 102 by setting the inclined first filter 88.
图11为本申请实施例提供的光接收腔的内部结构示意图,参见图11,为调整第一滤波片88的在在光路传输上的高度,以保证光信号反射的效率,在一些实施方式中,在一体化平台65的出光口设有出光斜面650,出光斜面650为倾斜设置的表面,沿光纤适配器2到光发射器件6的方向倾斜。将第一滤波片88设置在出光斜面650上,以保证来自光纤适配器2的光信号,在照射到第一滤波片88后能够产生反射,且反射方向朝向光接收腔102。FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the light receiving cavity provided by an embodiment of the application. Referring to FIG. 11, in order to adjust the height of the first filter 88 on the optical path transmission to ensure the efficiency of optical signal reflection, in some embodiments The light exit sloping surface 650 is provided at the light exit of the integrated platform 65. The light exit sloping surface 650 is an inclined surface, which is inclined along the direction from the optical fiber adapter 2 to the light emitting device 6. The first filter 88 is arranged on the light exit slope 650 to ensure that the optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2 can be reflected after being irradiated on the first filter 88 and the reflection direction is toward the light receiving cavity 102.
来自光纤适配器2的光信号为发散光,为提高光耦合效率,避免出现光损耗,在一些实施方式中,在第一滤波片88和光纤适配器2之间设有聚焦透镜80。来自光纤适配器2的光信号经过聚焦透镜80后照射在第一滤波片88上并发生反射,形成的反射光经过光通口51进入光接收腔102中,并射进光接收器件8内。The optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2 is divergent light. In order to improve the optical coupling efficiency and avoid light loss, in some embodiments, a focusing lens 80 is provided between the first filter 88 and the optical fiber adapter 2. The optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2 is irradiated on the first filter 88 after passing through the focusing lens 80 and is reflected. The formed reflected light enters the light receiving cavity 102 through the light passage 51 and enters the light receiving device 8.
聚焦透镜80设置在一体化平台65和光纤适配器2之间,且一体化平台65 的出光口位于出光斜面650上,此时,在一体化平台65和光纤适配器2之间的区域内,光纤适配器2接收光信号的路径与传出光信号的路径重合,那么使得光纤适配器2接收激光芯片61发射的光信号时,光信号也会穿过聚焦透镜80,光信号经过聚焦透镜80后形成平行光,再射进光纤适配器2内。The focusing lens 80 is set between the integrated platform 65 and the optical fiber adapter 2, and the light outlet of the integrated platform 65 is located on the light exit slope 650. At this time, in the area between the integrated platform 65 and the optical fiber adapter 2, the optical fiber adapter 2 The path of receiving the optical signal coincides with the path of the outgoing optical signal, so that when the optical fiber adapter 2 receives the optical signal emitted by the laser chip 61, the optical signal will also pass through the focusing lens 80, and the optical signal will form parallel light after passing through the focusing lens 80. , And then shoot into the fiber optic adapter 2.
来自光纤适配器2的光信号经过聚焦透镜80进行会聚后继续向一体化平台65的方向传播,进而照射在第一滤波片88上,经过第一滤波片88的反射后沿隔热板5上的光通口51进入光接收腔102内。The optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2 is condensed by the focusing lens 80 and then continues to propagate in the direction of the integrated platform 65, and then irradiates on the first filter 88. After being reflected by the first filter 88, it travels along the heat shield 5 The light passage 51 enters the light receiving cavity 102.
光接收腔102内设有光接收器件8,为接收由光发射腔101反射进光接收腔102内的光信号,在一些实施方式中,光接收器件8包括光路改变平台81。光路改变平台81用于实现光信号的接收和改变传播路径方向。A light receiving device 8 is provided in the light receiving cavity 102 to receive the light signal reflected from the light emitting cavity 101 into the light receiving cavity 102. In some embodiments, the light receiving device 8 includes a light path changing platform 81. The optical path changing platform 81 is used for receiving optical signals and changing the direction of the propagation path.
为接收第一滤波片88反射过来的光信号,光路改变平台81内设有变光路径,变光路径的入光口与光通口51对应,由光发射腔101经过光通口51反射过来的光信号进入变光路径中传播。光接收腔102内的光接收器件8沿光接收腔102的长度方向设置,而进入光接收腔102的光信号的传播方向则为垂直于光接收腔102的长度方向,因此,进入变光路径的光信号需要改变传播方向以进入光接收器件8中。In order to receive the light signal reflected by the first filter 88, the light path changing platform 81 is provided with a variable light path, and the light entrance of the variable light path corresponds to the light port 51, which is reflected from the light emitting cavity 101 through the light port 51 The optical signal enters the variable light path and propagates. The light receiving device 8 in the light receiving cavity 102 is arranged along the length direction of the light receiving cavity 102, and the propagation direction of the optical signal entering the light receiving cavity 102 is perpendicular to the length direction of the light receiving cavity 102, therefore, enters the variable light path The optical signal needs to change the propagation direction to enter the light receiving device 8.

参见图12和图13,为减少光信号传播路径转折过程中产生反射光影响信号传输,降低光回损,本实施例中,不再采用光路改变平台81,而是作为替换的,在反射片和第一滤波片之间还设有三角棱镜654和第三滤波片655,三角棱镜654和第三滤波片655均位于光接收腔102内,三角棱镜654实现光信号的反射以改变传播路径,第三滤波片655实现特定波长光信号的筛选。Referring to Figures 12 and 13, in order to reduce the effect of reflected light on signal transmission during the turning process of the optical signal propagation path and reduce the optical return loss, in this embodiment, the optical path change platform 81 is no longer used, but instead, the reflective sheet A triangular prism 654 and a third filter 655 are also arranged between the first filter and the triangular prism 654 and the third filter 655. The triangular prism 654 and the third filter 655 are both located in the light receiving cavity 102. The triangular prism 654 realizes the reflection of the optical signal to change the propagation path, The third filter 655 implements filtering of optical signals of a specific wavelength.
为使特定波长的光信号进入光接收芯片85内,在来自光纤适配器2的光信号传播进光接收腔102内时,由第三滤波片655实现光信号的筛选。第三滤波片655设置在靠近光通口51的位置,第三滤波片655的入光面S3朝向光通口51,且第三滤波片655与来自第一滤波片88的光信号传播路径垂直,使得经第一滤波片88反射的光信号能够穿过第三滤波片655。In order to make the optical signal of a specific wavelength enter the light receiving chip 85, when the optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2 propagates into the light receiving cavity 102, the third filter 655 implements the filtering of the optical signal. The third filter 655 is arranged at a position close to the light passage 51, the light incident surface S3 of the third filter 655 faces the light passage 51, and the third filter 655 is perpendicular to the propagation path of the optical signal from the first filter 88 , So that the light signal reflected by the first filter 88 can pass through the third filter 655.
第三滤波片655设置在三角棱镜654的入光面S3上,使得第三滤波片655的出光面S2与三角棱镜654的入光面S3重合,来自第一滤波片88的光信号经第三滤波片655进入三角棱镜654中。而在其他实施例中,第三滤波片655的出光面S2与三角棱镜654的入光面S3也可不重合设置,此时,需要在第三滤波片655的出光面S2与三角棱镜654的入光面S3均镀膜。The third filter 655 is disposed on the light incident surface S3 of the triangular prism 654, so that the light exit surface S2 of the third filter 655 coincides with the light incident surface S3 of the triangular prism 654, and the light signal from the first filter 88 passes through the third The filter 655 enters the triangular prism 654. In other embodiments, the light-emitting surface S2 of the third filter 655 and the light-incident surface S3 of the triangular prism 654 may not overlap. In this case, it is necessary to set the light-emitting surface S2 of the third filter 655 and the light-incident surface S3 of the triangular prism 654. The glossy S3 is coated.
三角棱镜654可选截面为等腰直角三角形的棱镜,三角棱镜654的一条直角边为入光面S3,另一条直角边为出光面S5,斜边为实现光信号反射的斜面S4,三角棱镜654的斜面S4上形成反射片或者将反射片82贴附在三角棱镜654的斜面S4上。The triangular prism 654 can be an isosceles right-angled triangle prism. One right-angle side of the triangular prism 654 is the light-incident surface S3, the other right-angle side is the light-emitting surface S5, and the hypotenuse is the inclined surface S4 for realizing light signal reflection. The triangular prism 654 A reflection sheet is formed on the inclined surface S4 of the prism or the reflection sheet 82 is attached to the inclined surface S4 of the triangular prism 654.
三角棱镜654的入光面S3朝向第一滤波片88,三角棱镜654的出光面S5朝向光接收芯片85,使得进入三角棱镜654的光信号在传播到斜面S4上的反射 片82后发生反射,反射光朝向出光面S5射出并进入光接收芯片85。The light incident surface S3 of the triangular prism 654 faces the first filter 88, and the light output surface S5 of the triangular prism 654 faces the light receiving chip 85, so that the light signal entering the triangular prism 654 is reflected after propagating to the reflective sheet 82 on the inclined surface S4. The reflected light exits toward the light exit surface S5 and enters the light receiving chip 85.
因此,参见图14中箭头所示的路径,在三角棱镜654和第三滤波片655处的光信号传播路径为:来自光纤适配器2的光信号在第一滤波片88产生反射,经光通口51反射进第三滤波片655,经过第三滤波片655滤波后的光信号由入光面S3进入三角棱镜654,在三角棱镜654的斜面S4上的反射片82处产生反射,反射光由出光面S5射出三角棱镜654,向光接收芯片85的方向传播。Therefore, referring to the path shown by the arrow in FIG. 14, the optical signal propagation path at the triangular prism 654 and the third filter 655 is: the optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2 is reflected on the first filter 88 and passes through the optical port 51 is reflected into the third filter 655, the light signal filtered by the third filter 655 enters the triangular prism 654 from the light incident surface S3, and is reflected at the reflective sheet 82 on the slope S4 of the triangular prism 654, and the reflected light is emitted by the light The triangular prism 654 is emitted from the surface S5 and propagates in the direction of the light receiving chip 85.
为保证经过光路改变平台81改变传播方向的光信号为平行光,避免长距离传输时出现光损耗,在光路改变平台81的出光口处设有第二滤波片83,第二滤波片83的出光口处设有反射面84,反射面84的出光口处设有光接收芯片85。第二滤波片允许特定波长的光通过,可以通过第二滤波片的光波长会随着第二滤波片的温度变化而变化。反射面84将经过第二滤波片83滤光处理后的光信号接收,并向位于反射面84下方的光接收芯片85产生反射,由光接收芯片85接收光信号。In order to ensure that the optical signal changing the propagation direction of the optical path changing platform 81 is parallel light and avoid light loss during long-distance transmission, a second filter 83 is provided at the light exit of the optical path changing platform 81, and the second filter 83 emits light. A reflective surface 84 is provided at the port, and a light receiving chip 85 is provided at the light exit port of the reflective surface 84. The second filter allows light of a specific wavelength to pass, and the wavelength of the light that can pass through the second filter changes with the temperature of the second filter. The reflective surface 84 receives the light signal filtered by the second filter 83 and reflects it to the light receiving chip 85 located below the reflective surface 84, and the light receiving chip 85 receives the light signal.
如图15所示的反射面的结构示意图,图中虚线箭头所示为反射面内光信号传播路径。本申请实施例提供的反射面84用于改变光信号的传播路径。光信号由光纤适配器2发出时具有一定的高度,而光接收芯片85的光敏面朝上,即来自光纤适配器2的光信号传播路径与光接收芯片85的光接收路径不一致,为了便于光接收芯片85接收到光信号,需要利用反射面84将较高传播的光信号向下反射进光接收芯片85内。As shown in the schematic diagram of the structure of the reflective surface as shown in FIG. 15, the dotted arrow in the figure shows the optical signal propagation path in the reflective surface. The reflective surface 84 provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to change the propagation path of the optical signal. The optical signal has a certain height when sent by the optical fiber adapter 2, and the photosensitive surface of the light receiving chip 85 faces upward, that is, the propagation path of the optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2 is inconsistent with the light receiving path of the light receiving chip 85, in order to facilitate the light receiving chip When the light signal 85 is received, the reflecting surface 84 needs to be used to reflect the higher-propagating light signal downward into the light receiving chip 85.
其中,反射面84包括入光面841、反射斜面842和出光底面843。入光面841朝向第二滤波片83,用于接收经过第二滤波片83的光信号。反射斜面842设置在光信号传播路径上,且倾斜设置,使得由入光面841射进的光信号在照 射在反射斜面842后可以向下反射。出光底面843设置在反射路径上,且出光底面843上设有透镜844,由透镜844对反射光进行会聚。The reflective surface 84 includes a light incident surface 841, a reflective inclined surface 842, and a light emitting bottom surface 843. The light incident surface 841 faces the second filter 83 and is used for receiving the light signal passing through the second filter 83. The reflective inclined surface 842 is arranged on the optical signal propagation path, and is arranged obliquely, so that the optical signal incident from the light incident surface 841 can be reflected downward after being irradiated on the reflective inclined surface 842. The light emitting bottom surface 843 is arranged on the reflection path, and the light emitting bottom surface 843 is provided with a lens 844, and the reflected light is condensed by the lens 844.
光接收芯片85位于出光底面843的下方,光接收芯片85的光敏面与透镜844的出光口对应,使得光接收芯片85可以接收由反射面84传播来的光信号。The light receiving chip 85 is located below the light emitting bottom surface 843, and the photosensitive surface of the light receiving chip 85 corresponds to the light output port of the lens 844, so that the light receiving chip 85 can receive the light signal propagated by the reflective surface 84.
光接收芯片85在接收光信号时,需要借助TEC组件通过控温的方式筛选出不同波长的光信号。因此,如图16所示的光接收腔的光器件结构示意图和图17所示的光接收腔的分解结构示意图,本实施例提供的光模块中,在光接收腔102内设置第二TEC组件9。而需要进行筛选不同波长光信号的元件为第二滤波片83,则由第二TEC组件9对第二滤波片83进行控温以筛选不同波长的光信号。When the optical receiving chip 85 receives optical signals, it needs to use the TEC component to filter out optical signals of different wavelengths by means of temperature control. Therefore, as shown in the schematic diagram of the optical device structure of the light receiving cavity shown in FIG. 16 and the schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the light receiving cavity shown in FIG. 17, in the optical module provided in this embodiment, a second TEC assembly is provided in the light receiving cavity 102 9. The component that needs to filter optical signals of different wavelengths is the second filter 83, and the second TEC component 9 controls the temperature of the second filter 83 to filter optical signals of different wavelengths.
为保证光的耦合效果,在由第二TEC组件9实现制冷第二滤波片83时吸收热量的散热时,还可利用第二TEC组件9对第二滤波片83进行固定,以调整第二滤波片83在光路传输上的高度,保证光接收腔102中的各个光器件的入光轴能够重合,即光路改变平台81的出光口与第二滤波片83的入光口对应,第二滤波片83的出光口与反射面84的入光口对应,以提高光接收光信号的光耦合效果。In order to ensure the coupling effect of light, when the second TEC component 9 is used to cool the second filter 83 to absorb heat and dissipate heat, the second TEC component 9 can also be used to fix the second filter 83 to adjust the second filter. The height of the plate 83 on the optical path transmission ensures that the light incident axes of the optical components in the light receiving cavity 102 can be overlapped, that is, the light exit port of the light path changing platform 81 corresponds to the light entrance port of the second filter 83, and the second filter The light exit port of 83 corresponds to the light entrance port of the reflective surface 84 to improve the optical coupling effect of the light receiving optical signal.
为保证第二滤波片83对水平方向传播的光信号进行不同波长的筛选,将第二滤波片83进行竖直设置,即第二滤波片83垂直于内壳1的底板11,且与光信号的传输路径垂直。为便于第二TEC组件9调节第二滤波片83的温度,以通过控温的方式筛选不同波长的光信号,因此,将第二滤波片83设置在第二TEC组件9的侧壁上,进而需要第二TEC组件9也竖直设置,即侧立在光接收腔102内,与底板11垂直。In order to ensure that the second filter 83 filters different wavelengths of the optical signals propagating in the horizontal direction, the second filter 83 is arranged vertically, that is, the second filter 83 is perpendicular to the bottom plate 11 of the inner housing 1 and is connected to the optical signal. The transmission path is vertical. In order to facilitate the second TEC component 9 to adjust the temperature of the second filter 83 to filter the optical signals of different wavelengths by temperature control, the second filter 83 is arranged on the side wall of the second TEC component 9, and then It is necessary that the second TEC component 9 is also vertically arranged, that is, it stands on the side in the light receiving cavity 102 and is perpendicular to the bottom plate 11.
由于第二TEC组件9设置在光路改变平台81和第二滤波片83之间,也就 是说,光路改变平台81射出的光信号需要先经过第二TEC组件9后再进入第二滤波片83,为避免第二TEC组件9对光信号产生损耗,本实施例中,在第二TEC组件9上设有通光孔,通光孔与光路改变平台81的出光口相对,第二滤波片83贴附在通光孔上。Since the second TEC component 9 is arranged between the light path changing platform 81 and the second filter 83, that is, the light signal emitted by the light path changing platform 81 needs to pass through the second TEC component 9 before entering the second filter 83. In order to avoid the loss of the optical signal by the second TEC component 9, in this embodiment, the second TEC component 9 is provided with a light-through hole, which is opposite to the light outlet of the light path changing platform 81, and the second filter 83 is attached Attached to the light hole.
如图18所示的光接收腔的局部侧视图,第二滤波片83设置在光信号传播路径上,第二滤波片83垂直于内壳1的底板11,且垂直于内壳1的侧壁12,使得光信号能够穿过第二滤波片83。第二滤波片83的出光口处设有反射棱镜组件84,反射棱镜组件84的出光口处设有光接收芯片85。反射棱镜组件84将经过第二滤波片83滤光处理后的光信号接收,并向位于反射棱镜组件84下方的光接收芯片85产生反射,由光接收芯片85接收光信号。As shown in FIG. 18, a partial side view of the light receiving cavity, the second filter 83 is arranged on the optical signal propagation path, and the second filter 83 is perpendicular to the bottom plate 11 of the inner housing 1 and perpendicular to the side walls of the inner housing 1. 12, so that the optical signal can pass through the second filter 83. The light exit of the second filter 83 is provided with a reflective prism component 84, and the light exit of the reflective prism component 84 is provided with a light receiving chip 85. The reflective prism component 84 receives the optical signal filtered by the second filter 83 and reflects it to the light receiving chip 85 located under the reflective prism component 84, and the light receiving chip 85 receives the optical signal.
如图19所示的反射棱镜组件的结构示意图,图中虚线箭头所示为反射棱镜组件内光信号传播路径。本申请实施例提供的反射棱镜组件84用于改变光信号的传播路径。光信号由光纤适配器2发出时具有一定的高度,而光接收芯片85的光敏面朝上,即来自光纤适配器2的光信号传播路径与光接收芯片85的光接收路径不一致,为了便于光接收芯片85接收到光信号,需要利用反射棱镜组件84将较高传播的光信号向下反射进光接收芯片85内。As shown in FIG. 19, the structure of the reflective prism assembly is schematic, and the dotted arrow in the figure shows the optical signal propagation path in the reflective prism assembly. The reflective prism component 84 provided by the embodiment of the present application is used to change the propagation path of the optical signal. The optical signal has a certain height when sent by the optical fiber adapter 2, and the photosensitive surface of the light receiving chip 85 faces upward, that is, the propagation path of the optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2 is inconsistent with the light receiving path of the light receiving chip 85, in order to facilitate the light receiving chip When the light signal 85 is received, the reflecting prism component 84 needs to be used to reflect the higher propagating light signal downward into the light receiving chip 85.
其中,反射棱镜组件84包括入光面841、反射斜面842和出光底面843。入光面841朝向第二滤波片83,用于接收经过第二滤波片83的光信号。反射斜面842设置在光信号传播路径上,且倾斜设置,使得由入光面841射进的光信号在传播在反射斜面842后可以向下反射。出光底面843设置在反射路径上,且出光底面843上设有第二会聚透镜844,由第二会聚透镜844对反射光进行会聚。The reflective prism component 84 includes a light incident surface 841, a reflective inclined surface 842, and a light emitting bottom surface 843. The light incident surface 841 faces the second filter 83 and is used for receiving the light signal passing through the second filter 83. The reflective inclined surface 842 is arranged on the optical signal propagation path, and is arranged obliquely, so that the optical signal incident from the light incident surface 841 can be reflected downward after propagating on the reflective inclined surface 842. The light-emitting bottom surface 843 is arranged on the reflection path, and the light-emitting bottom surface 843 is provided with a second condensing lens 844, and the second condensing lens 844 condenses the reflected light.
由于透过第二滤波片83的光信号需要经过一段空气再进入反射棱镜组件84内,而光信号在空气介质中传播并射到反射棱镜组件84的入光面841时,在入光面841易产生反射,使得反射光沿与光信号的原传播路径相反的方向传播,出现光回损,使得光接收芯片85的光耦合效果不好。Since the optical signal passing through the second filter 83 needs to pass through a section of air and then enter the reflecting prism assembly 84, and when the optical signal propagates in the air medium and hits the light incident surface 841 of the reflecting prism assembly 84, it will be on the light incident surface 841. It is easy to cause reflection, so that the reflected light propagates in a direction opposite to the original propagation path of the optical signal, and optical return loss occurs, which makes the optical coupling effect of the light receiving chip 85 poor.
因此,为降低入光面841带来的光回损,本实施例提供的光模块,将入光面841倾斜设置,使得反射棱镜组件84的入光面41与光信号的传播方向呈非垂直角度,即入光面841与光信号的传播路径之间的角度呈锐角或钝角,非垂直角度可以降低接收光回损。Therefore, in order to reduce the light return loss caused by the light incident surface 841, the optical module provided in this embodiment has the light incident surface 841 obliquely arranged, so that the light incident surface 41 of the reflective prism assembly 84 is non-vertical to the propagation direction of the optical signal. The angle, that is, the angle between the light incident surface 841 and the propagation path of the optical signal is an acute or obtuse angle, and a non-vertical angle can reduce the received light return loss.
而为使经过入光面841射进反射棱镜组件84的光信号能够沿原传播路径偏下的位置传播,需反射棱镜组件84的入光面841沿底端到顶端的方向倾斜,倾斜方向与光信号的传播方向相同。为保证光信号的耦合效果,本实施例中,入光面841与出光底面843光信号的传播路径之间的夹角范围为30-135度(不包括90度)。In order to enable the light signal entering the reflective prism assembly 84 through the light incident surface 841 to propagate along the lower position of the original propagation path, the light incident surface 841 of the reflective prism assembly 84 needs to be inclined in the direction from the bottom end to the top end, and the inclination direction is the same as The propagation direction of the optical signal is the same. In order to ensure the coupling effect of the optical signal, in this embodiment, the angle between the light incident surface 841 and the light output bottom surface 843 of the propagation path of the optical signal ranges from 30 to 135 degrees (not including 90 degrees).
由于光接收芯片85设置在反射棱镜组件84的下方,光接收芯片85的光敏面朝上,为使光接收芯片85能够接收到反射棱镜组件84传播的光信号,需要反射棱镜组件84将光信号朝下反射。为此,本实施例中,在反射棱镜组件84的末端端面为倾斜的反射斜面842,反射棱镜组件84的出光底面843的下方设置有光接收芯片85。Since the light receiving chip 85 is arranged under the reflective prism assembly 84, the photosensitive surface of the light receiving chip 85 faces upwards. In order for the light receiving chip 85 to receive the light signal propagated by the reflective prism assembly 84, the reflective prism assembly 84 is required to transmit the light signal. Reflect downward. To this end, in this embodiment, the end surface of the reflective prism component 84 is an inclined reflective inclined surface 842, and a light receiving chip 85 is provided under the light emitting bottom surface 843 of the reflective prism component 84.
反射斜面842倾斜设置,使得由入光面841传播来的光信号在传播到反射斜面842后产生反射。而为使反射方向朝下,需要反射斜面842沿底端到顶端的方向倾斜,倾斜方向与光信号的传播方向相反,也就是说,反射斜面842与出光底面843呈锐角连接。本实施例中,为使经过反射斜面842反射后的光信 号能够透过出光底面843,保证光信号的耦合效果,设定反射斜面842与出光底面843之间夹角范围为40-70度。The reflective inclined surface 842 is arranged obliquely, so that the light signal propagated from the light incident surface 841 is reflected after propagating to the reflective inclined surface 842. In order to make the reflection direction downward, the reflection slope 842 needs to be inclined from the bottom end to the top end, and the slope direction is opposite to the propagation direction of the optical signal, that is, the reflection slope 842 and the light emitting bottom surface 843 are connected at an acute angle. In this embodiment, in order to allow the light signal reflected by the reflective inclined surface 842 to pass through the light emitting bottom surface 843 and ensure the coupling effect of the optical signals, the angle between the reflective inclined surface 842 and the light emitting bottom surface 843 is set to range from 40 to 70 degrees.
因此,在光接收芯片85接收光信号的传播路径为:来自光纤适配器2的光信号经第一滤波片88反射后射向反射片82,经反射片82反射后射向第二滤波片83,透过第二滤波片83的光信号由入光面841射进反射棱镜组件84,传播到反射斜面842并反射后射向出光出光底面843,以被出光底面843下方的光接收芯片85接收。Therefore, the propagation path of the optical signal received by the light receiving chip 85 is: the optical signal from the optical fiber adapter 2 is reflected by the first filter 88 and then directed toward the reflector 82, and then reflected by the reflector 82 and directed toward the second filter 83, The light signal passing through the second filter 83 enters the reflective prism assembly 84 from the light entrance surface 841, propagates to the reflective inclined surface 842 and is reflected to the light exit bottom surface 843 to be received by the light receiving chip 85 under the light exit bottom surface 843.
为减少光接收芯片85接收光信号的损耗,本实施例中,在反射棱镜组件84的出光底面843设置有第二会聚透镜844,第二会聚透镜844用于将由反射斜面842反射的光信号进行汇聚,使得汇聚光被第二会聚透镜844下方的光接收芯片85接收。In order to reduce the loss of the light signal received by the light receiving chip 85, in this embodiment, a second converging lens 844 is provided on the light emitting bottom surface 843 of the reflective prism assembly 84, and the second converging lens 844 is used to perform the optical signal reflected by the reflective inclined surface 842. Convergence, so that the condensed light is received by the light receiving chip 85 under the second condensing lens 844.
如图20所示的反射棱镜组件的光路传播路径示意图,实线箭头所示路径为来自第二滤波片83的光信号进入反射棱镜组件84并射出的传播路径,虚线箭头所示路径为反射光进入反射棱镜组件84并射出的传播路径。A schematic diagram of the optical path propagation path of the reflective prism assembly shown in FIG. 20, the path shown by the solid arrow is the propagation path of the optical signal from the second filter 83 entering the reflective prism assembly 84 and emitted, and the path shown by the dashed arrow is the reflected light The propagation path that enters and exits the reflective prism assembly 84.
光接收芯片85在接收第二会聚透镜844射出的光信号时,小部分光信号会在光接收芯片85的光敏面产生反射。由于经入光面841射进反射棱镜组件84内的光信号传播路径偏离原传播路径,即向下偏转一定角度后传播到反射斜面842上,使得在反射斜面842上产生的反射光在向下传播时,其传播路径不与第二会聚透镜844的入光面垂直,即实线箭头所示的向下传播的光信号并非垂直入射进光接收芯片85中。When the light receiving chip 85 receives the light signal emitted by the second condensing lens 844, a small part of the light signal will be reflected on the photosensitive surface of the light receiving chip 85. Since the propagation path of the optical signal entering the reflective prism assembly 84 through the light incident surface 841 deviates from the original propagation path, that is, it is deflected downward by a certain angle and then propagated to the reflective inclined surface 842, so that the reflected light generated on the reflective inclined surface 842 is downward. When propagating, the propagation path is not perpendicular to the light incident surface of the second condensing lens 844, that is, the light signal propagating downward as indicated by the solid arrow does not enter the light receiving chip 85 perpendicularly.
鉴于由第二会聚透镜844射进光接收芯片85的光信号并非垂直于光敏面,使得光信号在发生反射时,反射光也不会沿原传播路径再次进入反射棱镜组件 84内,而是沿虚线箭头所示的路径经第二会聚透镜844射入反射棱镜组件84中并继续传播。在由反射棱镜组件84射出的光信号传播路径也不会与原传播路径重合,即出射光与入射光呈一定角度,可以阻止反射光再返回到光纤适配器2的光纤插芯21中,影响信号传输。因此,入光面841倾斜设置,使入光面841与出光底面843呈非垂直角度,减少光接收芯片85接收光回损对光信号传输的影响,进而可以保证光接收芯片85的光耦合效果。In view of the fact that the light signal emitted by the second converging lens 844 into the light receiving chip 85 is not perpendicular to the photosensitive surface, when the light signal is reflected, the reflected light will not enter the reflecting prism assembly 84 again along the original propagation path, but along The path indicated by the dashed arrow enters the reflective prism assembly 84 through the second condensing lens 844 and continues to propagate. The propagation path of the optical signal emitted by the reflecting prism assembly 84 will not coincide with the original propagation path, that is, the emitted light and the incident light are at a certain angle, which can prevent the reflected light from returning to the optical fiber ferrule 21 of the optical fiber adapter 2 and affect the signal. transmission. Therefore, the light incident surface 841 is arranged obliquely, so that the light incident surface 841 and the light output bottom surface 843 are at a non-perpendicular angle, which reduces the impact of the light receiving chip 85 receiving light return loss on the optical signal transmission, thereby ensuring the light coupling effect of the light receiving chip 85 .
