The side surface of the filter 16 directed toward the bottom boundary surface 11a is opposed to the support surface 15e, and the support surface 15e and the mounting surface 15a jointly support the filter 16 so that the filter 16 is stably installed in the mounting groove 15.
安装面15a上设有凹槽17,凹槽17位于光纤透镜14和滤波片16之间的光信号传输路径上。凹槽17包括相连接第四光学面17b和第五光学面17a,凹槽17的截面形状为三角形,第四光学面17b和第五光学面17a分别为凹槽17的两个侧面。在本实施例中,第四光学面17b和第五光学面17a之间的夹角为钝角,第四光学面17b和第五光学面17a以及位于第四光学面17b和第五光学面17a之间的第一光学面16a围成镂空区。A groove 17 is provided on the mounting surface 15 a, and the groove 17 is located on the optical signal transmission path between the fiber lens 14 and the filter 16. The groove 17 includes a fourth optical surface 17 b and a fifth optical surface 17 a that are connected to each other. The cross-sectional shape of the groove 17 is a triangle. The fourth optical surface 17 b and the fifth optical surface 17 a are two side surfaces of the groove 17, respectively. In this embodiment, the angle between the fourth optical surface 17b and the fifth optical surface 17a is an obtuse angle, and the fourth optical surface 17b and the fifth optical surface 17a are located between the fourth optical surface 17b and the fifth optical surface 17a. The first optical surface 16a therebetween forms a hollow area.
滤波片16包括相对设置的第一光学面16a和第二光学面16b,其中,第一光学面16a镀有第一功能膜,第一功能膜可以反射第二光信号,透射第一光信号;第二光学面16b上镀有第二功能膜,第二功能膜用于透射第一光信号,或者,透射一部分第一光信号进入滤波片16内部,反射另一部分第一光信号至安装槽15外。The filter 16 includes a first optical surface 16a and a second optical surface 16b that are arranged oppositely, wherein the first optical surface 16a is plated with a first functional film, and the first functional film can reflect the second optical signal and transmit the first optical signal; A second functional film is plated on the second optical surface 16b. The second functional film is used to transmit the first optical signal, or to transmit a part of the first optical signal into the filter 16, and reflect another part of the first optical signal to the mounting groove 15. outside.
滤波片16固定安装在安装槽15内,滤波片16的第一光学面16a为与安装面15a连接的连接面,第一光学面16a与位于凹槽17周围的安装面15a固定连接,例如采用结构胶粘结。凹槽17的槽口对应的第一光学面16a上不设置结构胶,因此,利用结构胶在将滤波片16固定安装在安装面15a上的同时,由于凹槽17的槽口对应的第一光学面16a上不设置结构胶,因此,不会在凹槽17的槽口对应的第一光学面16a上产生气泡,从而使得第一光信号和第二光信号在滤波片16和光纤透镜14之间的光信号传播路径上可以基本无损地穿过镂空区,与相关技术中第一光学面16a上有光学胶气泡相比,保证滤波片16的透过率和反射率,提升了光学耦合***的性能。The filter 16 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 15. The first optical surface 16a of the filter 16 is a connecting surface connected to the mounting surface 15a, and the first optical surface 16a is fixedly connected to the mounting surface 15a located around the groove 17, for example, Structural adhesive bonding. The first optical surface 16a corresponding to the notch of the groove 17 is not provided with structural adhesive. Therefore, the structural adhesive is used to fix the filter 16 on the mounting surface 15a while the notch of the groove 17 corresponds to the first optical surface. No structural glue is provided on the optical surface 16a, so no bubbles will be generated on the first optical surface 16a corresponding to the notch of the groove 17, so that the first optical signal and the second optical signal are on the filter 16 and the fiber lens 14 The optical signal propagation path between the optical signals can pass through the hollow area basically without loss. Compared with the optical adhesive bubbles on the first optical surface 16a in the related art, the transmittance and reflectance of the filter 16 are ensured, and the optical coupling is improved. System performance.
安装槽15还包括第三光学面15b,第三光学面15b位于全内反射面11d和安装面15a之间,第三光学面15b用于透射一部分第一光信号进入滤波片16,以及反射另一部分第一光信号至全内反射面11d,也就是说,第一光信号射至第三光学面15b上后分为两部分:第一部分和第二部分,其中,第一部分第一光信号透过第三光学面15b 射向滤波片16;第二部分第一光信号被第三光学面15b反射回全内反射面11d。The mounting groove 15 also includes a third optical surface 15b, the third optical surface 15b is located between the total internal reflection surface 11d and the mounting surface 15a, the third optical surface 15b is used to transmit a part of the first light signal into the filter 16, and reflect the other A part of the first optical signal reaches the total internal reflection surface 11d, that is, the first optical signal is divided into two parts after being incident on the third optical surface 15b: a first part and a second part, wherein the first part of the first optical signal is transparent It passes through the third optical surface 15b to the filter 16; the second part of the first optical signal is reflected by the third optical surface 15b back to the total internal reflection surface 11d.
自接收透镜12射向全内反射面11d的第一光信号的入射点与自第三光学面15b反射回的第一光信号在全内反射面11d上的入射点不能重合,使得自接收透镜12射向全内反射面11d的第一光信号在全内反射面11d的反射点与自第三光学面15b反射回的第一光信号在全内反射面11d上的反射点错开,防止自第三光学面15b反射回的第一光信号被全内反射面11d反射回VCSEL21,进而防止这部分自第三光学面15b反射回的第一光信号影响VCSEL21发射第一光信号,提升VCSEL21抗干扰性。The incident point of the first optical signal from the receiving lens 12 to the total internal reflection surface 11d and the incident point of the first optical signal reflected from the third optical surface 15b on the total internal reflection surface 11d cannot coincide, so that the self-receiving lens 12 The reflection point of the first optical signal directed to the total internal reflection surface 11d on the total internal reflection surface 11d and the reflection point of the first optical signal reflected from the third optical surface 15b on the total internal reflection surface 11d are staggered to prevent self The first optical signal reflected by the third optical surface 15b is reflected back to the VCSEL 21 by the total internal reflection surface 11d, thereby preventing this part of the first optical signal reflected from the third optical surface 15b from affecting the VCSEL 21 to emit the first optical signal, and improving the resistance of the VCSEL 21 Intrusive.
示例性地,第三光学面15b的法线与射至第三光学面15b的第一光信号的中心线呈第一设定角度,由于第三光学面15b的法线和射至第三光学面15b的第一光信号的中心线之间的夹角为第一设定角度,使得从第三光学面15b反射回全内反射面11d上的第一光信号在全内反射面11d上的反射点,与从接收透镜12射至全内反射面11d的第一光信号在全内反射面11d上的反射点错开,防止由第三光学面15b反射回全内反射面11d上的第一光信号在全内反射面11d再次反射后反射回接收透镜12,从而可以防止其干扰由VCSEL21发射的第一光信号。Exemplarily, the normal line of the third optical surface 15b and the center line of the first optical signal incident on the third optical surface 15b are at a first set angle. The angle between the center lines of the first optical signal on the surface 15b is the first set angle, so that the first optical signal reflected from the third optical surface 15b back to the total internal reflection surface 11d is on the total internal reflection surface 11d. The reflection point is offset from the reflection point on the total internal reflection surface 11d of the first optical signal emitted from the receiving lens 12 to the total internal reflection surface 11d to prevent the third optical surface 15b from being reflected back to the first optical signal on the total internal reflection surface 11d. The optical signal is reflected again on the total internal reflection surface 11d and then reflected back to the receiving lens 12, thereby preventing it from interfering with the first optical signal emitted by the VCSEL 21.
由第三光学面15b反射回的第一光信号也称为第一光信号的回损光,第一设定角度越小,被第三光学面15b反射回全内反射面11d的第一光信号越少,透过第三光学面15b的第一光信号越多,即回损光较少,第一光信号的利用率较高;但这种情况会导致由第三光学面15b反射回的第一光信号的光程较长,增大光学主体11的体积。第一设定角度越大,被第三光学面15b反射回全内反射面11d的第一光信号越多,透过第三光学面15b的第一光信号越少,即这种情况的回损光较多,第一光信号的利用率较低,相应的光学主体11的体积变小。因此,第一设定角度的设定需要综合考量回损光的多少、光程的大小,第一设定角度可以为1度-15度,例如第一设定角度为8度。The first optical signal reflected by the third optical surface 15b is also called the return loss light of the first optical signal. The smaller the first set angle, the first light reflected by the third optical surface 15b back to the total internal reflection surface 11d The less the signal, the more the first optical signal that passes through the third optical surface 15b, that is, the less return loss light, the higher the utilization of the first optical signal; but this situation will cause the third optical surface 15b to be reflected back The optical path of the first optical signal is longer, which increases the volume of the optical body 11. The larger the first set angle, the more the first optical signal reflected by the third optical surface 15b back to the total internal reflection surface 11d, and the less the first optical signal passing through the third optical surface 15b, that is, the return in this case There is more light loss, the utilization rate of the first optical signal is lower, and the volume of the corresponding optical body 11 becomes smaller. Therefore, the setting of the first set angle requires comprehensive consideration of the amount of return loss and the size of the optical path. The first set angle may be 1 degree to 15 degrees, for example, the first set angle is 8 degrees.
可以理解的是,第二光信号从滤波片16的第一光学面16a反射至第五光学面17a时,第二光信号也可能被分为两部分:一部分第二光信号透过第五光学面17a后射向光敏二极管22;另一部分第二光信号在第五光学面17a上发生反射后射向滤波片16的第一光学面16a,并在滤波片16的第一光学面16a上再次反射后射出安装槽17外。为了避免由第五光学面17a反射回第一光学面16a的第二光信号在第一光学面16a上与由光纤透镜14射向第一光学面16a的第二光信号在第一光学面16a上发生干涉,由第五光学面17a反射回第一光学面16a的第二光信号在第一光学面16a上的反射点,与由光纤透镜14射向第一光学面16a的第二光信号在第一光学面16a上的反射点错开。It is understandable that when the second optical signal is reflected from the first optical surface 16a of the filter 16 to the fifth optical surface 17a, the second optical signal may also be divided into two parts: a part of the second optical signal passes through the fifth optical surface. After surface 17a, it is directed to the photodiode 22; another part of the second light signal is reflected on the fifth optical surface 17a and then directed to the first optical surface 16a of the filter 16, and on the first optical surface 16a of the filter 16 again After reflection, it is shot out of the installation slot 17. In order to avoid that the second optical signal reflected by the fifth optical surface 17a back to the first optical surface 16a is on the first optical surface 16a and the second optical signal emitted by the fiber lens 14 to the first optical surface 16a is on the first optical surface 16a The second optical signal reflected by the fifth optical surface 17a back to the first optical surface 16a is reflected on the first optical surface 16a, and the second optical signal emitted by the fiber lens 14 to the first optical surface 16a The reflection points on the first optical surface 16a are staggered.
示例性地,第五光学面17a的法线与射至第五光学面17a的第二光信号的中心线呈第二设定角度,由于第五光学面17a的法线和射至第五光学面17a的第二光信号的中心线之间的夹角为第二设定角度,使得从第五光学面17a反射回第一光学面16a上的第二光信号在第一光学面16a上的反射点,由光纤透镜14射向第一光学面16a的第二光信号在第一光学面16a上的反射点错开,防止由第五光学面17a反射回第一光学面16a上的第二光信号在第一光学面16a再次反射后反射回光纤透镜14,从而可以防止其干扰由光纤23发射的第二光信号。Exemplarily, the normal line of the fifth optical surface 17a and the center line of the second optical signal incident on the fifth optical surface 17a are at a second set angle. The angle between the center lines of the second optical signal on the surface 17a is the second set angle, so that the second optical signal reflected from the fifth optical surface 17a back to the first optical surface 16a is on the first optical surface 16a. The reflection point, the second light signal emitted by the fiber lens 14 to the first optical surface 16a has a reflection point staggered on the first optical surface 16a to prevent the second light on the first optical surface 16a from being reflected back by the fifth optical surface 17a The signal is reflected again on the first optical surface 16a and then reflected back to the optical fiber lens 14, thereby preventing it from interfering with the second optical signal emitted by the optical fiber 23.
由第五光学面17a反射回的第二光信号也称为第二光信号的回损光,第二设定角度越小,被第五光学面17a反射回第一光学面16a的第二光信号越少,透过第五光学 面17a的第二光信号越多,即回损光较少,第二光信号的利用率较高;但这种情况会导致由第五光学面17a反射回的第二光信号的光程较长,增大光学主体11的体积。第二设定角度越大,被第五光学面17a反射回第一光学面16a的第二光信号越多,透过第五光学面17a的第二光信号越少,即这种情况的回损光较多,第二光信号的利用率较低,相应的光学主体11的体积变小。第二设定角度的设定需要综合考量回损光的多少、光程的大小,第二设定角度可以为1度-15度,例如第二设定角度为8度。The second optical signal reflected by the fifth optical surface 17a is also called the return loss light of the second optical signal. The smaller the second set angle, the second light reflected by the fifth optical surface 17a back to the first optical surface 16a The less the signal, the more the second optical signal passing through the fifth optical surface 17a, that is, the less return loss light, the higher the utilization rate of the second optical signal; but this situation will cause the fifth optical surface 17a to be reflected back The optical path of the second optical signal is longer, which increases the volume of the optical body 11. The larger the second setting angle, the more the second optical signal reflected by the fifth optical surface 17a back to the first optical surface 16a, and the less the second optical signal passing through the fifth optical surface 17a, that is, the return in this case There is more light loss, the utilization rate of the second optical signal is lower, and the volume of the corresponding optical body 11 becomes smaller. The setting of the second setting angle requires comprehensive consideration of the amount of return loss and the size of the optical path. The second setting angle can be 1 degree to 15 degrees, for example, the second setting angle is 8 degrees.

The first optical signal emitted from the first optical surface 16a of the filter 16 passes through the hollow area and is directed to the fiber lens 14. After collimated by the fiber lens 14, it is injected into the optical fiber 23; another part of the first optical signal is reflected by the third optical surface 15b back to the total internal reflection surface 11d, and is reflected again by the total internal reflection surface 11d and then directed toward the monitoring lens 19 , After being collimated by the monitoring lens 19, it is directed to the monitoring photosensitive member 25.
在本申请实施例提供的光学耦合***中,由于在安装槽15的安装面15a上设有凹槽17,凹槽17与凹槽17的槽口对应的部分第一光学面16b围成镂空区,镂空区位于滤波片16和光纤透镜14之间的光信号传播路径上;因此,位于凹槽17的槽口对应区域内的第一光学面16a上不需要设置光学胶,使得位于镂空区内的滤波片16的第一光学面16a上不会出现光学胶引起的气泡,从而使得第一光信号和第二光信号可以基本无损地穿过镂空区,保证了滤波片16的透过率和反射率,进而提升了光学耦合***10的性能。In the optical coupling system provided by the embodiment of the present application, since the groove 17 is provided on the installation surface 15a of the installation groove 15, the groove 17 and the portion of the first optical surface 16b corresponding to the notch of the groove 17 enclose a hollow area , The hollow area is located on the optical signal propagation path between the filter 16 and the fiber lens 14; therefore, the first optical surface 16a located in the area corresponding to the notch of the groove 17 does not need to be provided with optical glue, so that it is located in the hollow area No bubbles caused by optical glue will appear on the first optical surface 16a of the filter 16, so that the first optical signal and the second optical signal can pass through the hollow area substantially without loss, ensuring the transmittance and transmittance of the filter 16 The reflectivity further improves the performance of the optical coupling system 10.

场景三Scene three
图12为本申请实施例提供的又一种光模块的剖视图。如图12所示,本申请实施例提供的光模块与上述场景二中的光模块的结构基本相同,相同部分参见上述相关描述即可,在此不再赘述。FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of another optical module provided by an embodiment of the application. As shown in FIG. 12, the structure of the optical module provided by the embodiment of the present application is basically the same as that of the optical module in the foregoing scenario 2, and for the same part, refer to the foregoing related description, and details are not described herein again.
本实施例与上述场景二的不同之处在于:滤波片16的第二光学面16b上的第二功能膜,能够使射向第二光学面16b的第一光信号的一部分透过进入滤波片16内,另一部分第一光信号被第二光学面16b反射出安装槽15外。如此设计,当VCSEL21发射的 第一光信号的强度较大时,利用滤波片16的第二光学面16b可以将部分第一光信号反射出安装槽15外,如此可以降低进入光纤23中的第一光信号的强度,使得每次进入光纤23中的第一光信号的强度基本一致,提升光纤通信的稳定性。The difference between this embodiment and the second scenario above is that the second functional film on the second optical surface 16b of the filter 16 can allow a part of the first optical signal directed to the second optical surface 16b to pass into the filter. In 16, another part of the first optical signal is reflected out of the installation groove 15 by the second optical surface 16b. With this design, when the intensity of the first optical signal emitted by the VCSEL 21 is high, the second optical surface 16b of the filter 16 can be used to reflect part of the first optical signal out of the installation groove 15, so that the first optical signal entering the optical fiber 23 can be reduced. The intensity of an optical signal makes the intensity of the first optical signal that enters the optical fiber 23 basically the same every time, which improves the stability of optical fiber communication.

The first optical signal is projected onto the total internal reflection surface 11d and is The total internal reflection surface 11d is totally reflected to the third optical surface 15b, the first optical signal is divided into two parts on the third optical surface 15b, and a part of the first optical signal is reflected by the third optical surface 15b back to the total internal reflection surface 11d , And after being reflected again by the total internal reflection surface 11d, it is directed toward the monitoring lens 19, and after being collimated by the monitoring lens 19, it is directed toward the monitoring photosensitive member 25. The other part is transmitted to the second optical surface 16b of the filter 16 and then divided into two parts again. A part of the first optical signal is refracted into the interior of the filter 16, and then refracted again after reaching the first optical surface 16a of the filter 16, from The first optical signal emitted from the first optical surface 16a of the filter 16 passes through the hollow area and then is directed to the fiber lens 14, collimated by the fiber lens 14 and then injected into the optical fiber 23; another part of the first optical signal is in the filter 16 The second optical surface 16b is reflected out of the installation groove 15.
在本申请实施例提供的光学耦合***中,由于在安装槽15的安装面15a上设有凹槽17,凹槽17与凹槽17的槽口对应的第一光学面16b围成镂空区,镂空区位于滤波片16和光纤透镜14之间的光信号传播路径上;因此,位于凹槽17的槽口对应区域内的第一光学面16a上不需要设置光学胶,使得位于镂空区内的滤波片16的第一光学面16a上不会出现光学胶引起的气泡,从而使得第一光信号和第二光信号可以基本无损地穿过镂空区,保证了滤波片16的透过率和反射率,进而提升了光学耦合***10的性能。In the optical coupling system provided by the embodiment of the present application, since the groove 17 is provided on the mounting surface 15a of the mounting groove 15, the groove 17 and the first optical surface 16b corresponding to the notch of the groove 17 enclose a hollow area, The hollow area is located on the optical signal propagation path between the filter 16 and the fiber lens 14; therefore, there is no need to provide optical glue on the first optical surface 16a in the area corresponding to the notch of the groove 17, so that the optical glue is located in the hollow area No bubbles caused by optical glue appear on the first optical surface 16a of the filter 16, so that the first optical signal and the second optical signal can pass through the hollow area substantially without loss, ensuring the transmittance and reflection of the filter 16 Therefore, the performance of the optical coupling system 10 is improved.
同时,第一光信号在经过第三光学面15b时,另一部分的第一光信号被第三反射面15b反射回全内反射面11d,并在全内反射面11d上再次反射后射向监测透镜19,由监测透镜19准直后射向监测光敏件25,利用监测光敏件25可以监测第一光信号的强度,从而可以监测到VCSEL21的功率,并可根据实际需要调整VCSEL21的功率。At the same time, when the first optical signal passes through the third optical surface 15b, another part of the first optical signal is reflected by the third reflection surface 15b back to the total internal reflection surface 11d, and is reflected again on the total internal reflection surface 11d and directed toward the monitoring The lens 19 is collimated by the monitoring lens 19 and directed toward the monitoring photosensitive member 25. The monitoring photosensitive member 25 can monitor the intensity of the first light signal, so that the power of the VCSEL 21 can be monitored, and the power of the VCSEL 21 can be adjusted according to actual needs.
再者,当VCSEL21发射的第一光信号的强度较大时,利用滤波片16的第二光学面16b可以将部分第一光信号反射出安装槽15外,可以降低进入光纤23中的第一光信号的强度,使得每次进入光纤23中的第一光信号的强度基本一致,提升光纤通信的稳定性。Furthermore, when the intensity of the first optical signal emitted by the VCSEL 21 is relatively high, the second optical surface 16b of the filter 16 can be used to reflect part of the first optical signal out of the installation groove 15, and the first optical signal entering the optical fiber 23 can be reduced. The intensity of the optical signal makes the intensity of the first optical signal that enters the optical fiber 23 basically the same every time, which improves the stability of optical fiber communication.
可以理解的是,在上述光模块中,光纤23可以为多模光纤或单模光纤,而且光纤23可以单根光纤也可以是多根光纤组成的阵列,当光纤23为多根光纤组成的阵列时,光纤透镜14也为多个,其排布方式与多根光纤的排布方式相同。光纤透镜13可以位于光模块的外部,形成用于连接光纤的光纤接口,光纤接口可以为LC/SC接口;也可以将光纤透镜13集成在光模块的内部,即光模块自带光纤接口,例如AOC形式。It is understandable that, in the above-mentioned optical module, the optical fiber 23 can be a multi-mode fiber or a single-mode fiber, and the optical fiber 23 can be a single fiber or an array composed of multiple optical fibers. When the optical fiber 23 is an array composed of multiple optical fibers, At this time, there are also multiple fiber lenses 14, and their arrangement is the same as that of multiple optical fibers. The optical fiber lens 13 can be located outside the optical module to form an optical fiber interface for connecting the optical fiber. The optical fiber interface can be an LC/SC interface; the optical fiber lens 13 can also be integrated inside the optical module, that is, the optical module has its own optical fiber interface, for example AOC form.
