Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the embodiment of the invention is described in detail.Embodiment described herein is only in order to explaining the present invention, and is not used in qualification the present invention.
Embodiment
The embodiment of the invention provides a kind of optical module; As shown in Figure 1, said optical module comprises: comprising: laser instrument and the optical module shell that is used for fixing said laser instrument, and said optical module shell comprises: optical module outer casing upper cover 16 and optical module shell lower cover 15; Said laser instrument is embedded in the heat-conducting medium 12; Said heat-conducting medium 12 is " ㄈ " shape, fits in said optical module outer casing upper cover 16 and optical module shell lower cover 15, and said optical module also comprises circuit board 14 and screw 17.The said laser instrument of present embodiment is the transmission laser instrument 11 that is used to send light signal among Fig. 1.
The said heat-conducting medium of the embodiment of the invention is that coefficient of heat conductivity is little, and promptly thermal resistance is little, and the material that can conduct heat is fast processed.Alternatively, the material of said heat-conducting medium is metal or heat-conducting glue, for example the metal of good heat conductivity such as copper, aluminium, perhaps the heat conduction plastic cement of good heat conductivity such as silica gel.
As shown in Figure 2; In the embodiment of the invention; Said being, the outside surface of cross break part 121 on heat-conducting medium 12 tops of " ㄈ " shape fitted in said optical module outer casing upper cover 16; The outside surface of the cross break part 122 of bottom fits in said optical module shell lower cover 15, makes the heat that transmits along " ㄈ " shape heat-conducting medium, can be delivered to cap surface under optical module outer casing upper cover surface and the optical module shell simultaneously.
The profile of laser instrument described in the present embodiment is rectangular parallelepiped or cube-shaped, so heat-conducting medium 12 is " ㄈ " shape, is convenient to laser instrument and is embedded in heat-conducting medium 12.In the actual manufacture process, the shape of said heat-conducting medium 12 and thickness can change according to the profile of laser instrument to some extent, as long as said laser instrument is embedded in the heat-conducting medium 12, and heat-conducting medium 12 can be fitted in the surface and the said optical module shell of laser instrument and gets final product.
Laser instrument in the optical module is the topmost power consumption device of optical module, and thermal value is maximum; Laser instrument in the optical module is embedded in the heat-conducting medium that is " ㄈ " shape, and said " ㄈ " shape heat-conducting medium closely contacts with optical module outer casing upper cover and lower cover, like this during optical module work; The heat that laser instrument produces is delivered to cap surface under optical module outer casing upper cover surface and the optical module shell simultaneously along the heat-conducting medium of " ㄈ " shape, makes the top of optical module and bottom to dispel the heat simultaneously; Increased the heat radiation approach of optical module; Simultaneously also increased area of dissipation, radiating effect is good, the temperature requirement in the time of can satisfying laser works in the optical module; Stability when promoting optical module work guarantees normally carrying out of optical communication.
