附图16为光发射器发射光路原理图,附图17为光接收器接收光路原理图。如附图16和17所示,光纤带500中光纤端面位于第三透镜矩阵4032中透镜的焦点位置,第三透镜矩阵4032中透镜的焦距记为f fiber,光发射器301位于第一透镜矩阵4051中透镜的焦点位置,第一透镜矩阵4051中透镜焦距记为f TX,光纤位置处的光斑直径大小记为S 0。如附图16所示,在发射光路中光发射器301的发光直径尺寸S 1,二者之间的关系为,S 0/S 1=f fiber/f TX(1)。如附图17所示,在接收光路中,光接收器303位于第二透镜矩阵4061中透镜的焦点位置,第二透镜矩阵4061中透镜的焦距记为f RX。当光纤带500的光纤中充满光,光纤位置处的光斑大小即为光纤的直径。假设光纤的直径为50μm,则光纤位置处的光斑与光接收器303处接收光的光斑S 2之间的关系为,50/S 2=f fiber/f RX(2)。 FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram of the light emitting path of the optical transmitter, and FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram of the light receiving path of the optical receiver. As shown in Figures 16 and 17, the end face of the optical fiber in the optical fiber ribbon 500 is located at the focal position of the lens in the third lens matrix 4032. The focal length of the lens in the third lens matrix 4032 is denoted as f fiber , and the light emitter 301 is located in the first lens matrix. The focal position of the lens in 4051, the focal length of the lens in the first lens matrix 4051 is denoted as f TX , and the spot diameter at the position of the optical fiber is denoted as S 0 . As shown in FIG. 16, the light-emitting diameter size S 1 of the light emitter 301 in the light emitting path is related to S 0 /S 1 =f fiber /f TX (1). As shown in FIG. 17, in the receiving optical path, the light receiver 303 is located at the focal position of the lens in the second lens matrix 4061, and the focal length of the lens in the second lens matrix 4061 is denoted as f RX . When the optical fiber of the optical fiber ribbon 500 is filled with light, the spot size at the position of the optical fiber is the diameter of the optical fiber. Assuming that the diameter of the optical fiber is 50 μm, the relationship between the spot at the position of the optical fiber and the spot S 2 of the received light at the light receiver 303 is 50/S 2 =f fiber /f RX (2).
假使第一透镜矩阵4051与第二透镜矩阵4061在同一平面,当光发射器301与光接收器303的高度相差很小,所以可以假设f TX≈f RX,此时由关系式(1)、(2)可得S 0·S 2=1000,可知光纤位置处的光斑与光接收器303处接收光的光斑大小成反比例关系,相互制约,不可能同时达到光斑较小的目的,这样只能取一个折中的尺寸,使两个光斑都符合使用要求。假如在10G产品中,光接收器的有效接收光面积大,一般60μm左右,所以光接收器303处的接收光斑的可以适当的大一些,例如40μm左右即可;但是25G/100G产品中,光接收器303的有效接收光面积小,一般只有40μm左右,此时要求光接收器303处的接收的光斑要只有20μm左右。如果光斑尺寸较大,贴片工艺和光纤耦合的难度将会增大,而且效率会很低。 Assuming that the first lens matrix 4051 and the second lens matrix 4061 are on the same plane, when the height difference between the optical transmitter 301 and the optical receiver 303 is very small, it can be assumed that f TX ≈f RX , at this time, from the relationship (1), (2) It can be obtained that S 0 ·S 2 =1000. It can be seen that the light spot at the position of the fiber is inversely proportional to the size of the light spot received by the light receiver 303, which restricts each other. It is impossible to achieve the goal of small light spot at the same time. A compromised size, so that both light spots meet the requirements of use. If in 10G products, the effective light receiving area of the optical receiver is large, generally about 60μm, so the receiving spot of the optical receiver 303 can be appropriately larger, for example, about 40μm; but in 25G/100G products, the light The effective light receiving area of the receiver 303 is small, generally only about 40 μm. At this time, it is required that the light spot received at the light receiver 303 is only about 20 μm. If the spot size is large, the difficulty of patching process and fiber coupling will increase, and the efficiency will be very low.
本公开提供的光模块中,为了有效解决S0与S2相互制约的问题,在第一透镜矩阵4051所在第一台阶面406和第二透镜矩阵4061所在的第二台阶面406之间设置高度差,即第一台阶面405和第二台阶面406形成一个具有一定高度的台阶,以台阶的高度作为对 第二透镜矩阵4061与光接收器之间距离的补偿,这样即可以设计不同尺寸的f TX、f RX获得理想的S 0、S 2,也可以满足焦距相同情况下不同高度的光发射器和光接收器高度时使用,或者二者都可以兼容。 In the optical module provided by the present disclosure, in order to effectively solve the problem of mutual restriction between S0 and S2, a height difference is provided between the first step surface 406 where the first lens matrix 4051 is located and the second step surface 406 where the second lens matrix 4061 is located. That is, the first step surface 405 and the second step surface 406 form a step with a certain height, and the height of the step is used as compensation for the distance between the second lens matrix 4061 and the light receiver, so that f TX of different sizes can be designed , F RX obtains ideal S 0 and S 2 , and can also meet the requirements of different heights of light emitters and light receivers under the same focal length, or both are compatible.
以下给出本公开实施中第一台阶面和第二台阶面之间高度差的计算:The calculation of the height difference between the first step surface and the second step surface in the implementation of the present disclosure is given below:
首先确定f fiber、f TX的范围,光纤的数值孔径NA=0.2,根据几何关系,2·f fiber·NA≤D,即f fiber≤0.625mm。同理,激光器的发散角θ=13°,根据几何关系,2·f TX·tanθ≤D,即f TX≤0.541mm。其次,综合考虑光纤耦合效率以及第一透镜矩阵中透镜与光发射器之间的距离关系,设计合理的S 0、f TX,代入关系式(1)可计算出f fiber,保证f TX与f fiber在各自范围内。 First determine the range of f fiber and f TX , the numerical aperture of the fiber NA=0.2, according to the geometric relationship, 2·f fiber ·NA≤D, that is, f fiber ≤0.625mm. In the same way, the divergence angle of the laser θ=13°, according to the geometric relationship, 2·f TX ·tanθ≤D, that is, f TX ≤0.541mm. Secondly, considering the fiber coupling efficiency and the distance relationship between the lens and the optical transmitter in the first lens matrix, design a reasonable S 0 and f TX , and substitute the relationship (1) to calculate f fiber to ensure that f TX and f The fiber is within their respective ranges.
再将S 2、f fiber代入关系式(2),即可求得f RX。另外,由于光接收器要与pad位打线连接,打线的弧高为0.12mm,所以还要保证f RX≥0.12mm,以免金线碰触到第二透镜矩阵中透镜表面,影响第二透镜矩阵中透镜的光学性能。设第一透镜矩阵中透镜平面与光接收器之间垂直距离为H,那么第一台阶面和第二台阶面之间高度差的高度△h=H-f RXThen substituting S 2 and f fiber into relation (2), f RX can be obtained. In addition, since the optical receiver needs to be wired to the pad position, the arc height of the wiring is 0.12mm, so it is necessary to ensure that f RX ≥0.12mm to prevent the gold wire from touching the lens surface in the second lens matrix and affecting the second lens matrix. The optical performance of the lenses in the lens matrix. Assuming that the vertical distance between the lens plane and the light receiver in the first lens matrix is H, then the height of the height difference between the first step surface and the second step surface is Δh=Hf RX .
因此本公开提供的光模块中,透镜组件400上第一台阶面405和第二台阶面406之间具有存在高度差,利用第一台阶面405和第二台阶面406之间高度差作为第一透镜矩阵4051到光发射器301发光面距离与第二透镜矩阵4061到光接收器303光接收面距离的补偿,避免第一透镜矩阵4051中透镜焦距与第二透镜矩阵4061中透镜焦距相互制约,便于实现发射端光纤带中光纤位置光斑与光接收器303处光斑同时达到最佳。Therefore, in the optical module provided by the present disclosure, there is a height difference between the first step surface 405 and the second step surface 406 on the lens assembly 400, and the height difference between the first step surface 405 and the second step surface 406 is used as the first step surface. The distance between the lens matrix 4051 and the light emitting surface of the light emitter 301 and the distance between the second lens matrix 4061 and the light receiving surface of the light receiver 303 are compensated to avoid the mutual restriction of the lens focal length in the first lens matrix 4051 and the lens focal length in the second lens matrix 4061, It is convenient to realize that the light spot of the optical fiber position in the fiber ribbon of the transmitting end and the light spot of the optical receiver 303 are optimized at the same time.
