Embodiment
Also referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, the dual-purpose connector 100 of photoelectricity that embodiment of the present invention is provided, including it is housing 10, flat
Face fiber waveguide optical splitter 20,21, photoelectric conversion unit 27, collimation lens 40,41, electric connection terminal 50 and optical fiber 60,61.
The substantially square bulk of housing 10, including the end 13 of first end 11 and second relative to each other.Shape in the housing 10
Into there is accommodating chamber 15, planar optical waveguide optical splitter 20,21 and photoelectric conversion unit 30,31 are located in accommodating chamber 15.Second end
13 are formed with opening 17.The collimation lens 40,41 and the electric connection terminal 50 are located in the opening 17.
Planar optical waveguide optical splitter 20,21 is set adjacent to the first end 11, and each planar optical waveguide optical splitter 20,21 is distinguished
Including a pool side and two branch ends.Optical fiber 60,61 is located at flat respectively through the end of first end 11 and optical fiber 60,61
The top of the pool side of face fiber waveguide optical splitter 20,21.The dual-purpose connector 100 of photoelectricity also includes end respectively with optical fiber 60,61
The corresponding speculum 70,71 in portion.In other embodiments, can also by optical fiber 60,61 directly with planar optical waveguide optical splitter
20th, 21 pool side is connected, so as to save the speculum 70,71.
The branch end of planar optical waveguide optical splitter 20 is connected with fiber waveguide 23 and photoelectric conversion unit 30 respectively.Plane light wave
The branch end for leading optical splitter 21 is connected with fiber waveguide 25 and photoelectric conversion unit 31 respectively.Fiber waveguide 23 connects with collimation lens 40
Connect.Fiber waveguide 25 is connected with collimation lens 41.Photoelectric conversion unit 30,31 is connected with electric connection terminal 50 respectively.In this implementation
In mode, the electric connection terminal 50 is golden finger.
In the present embodiment, photoelectric conversion unit 27 includes photodiode 30, is laser diode 31, amplifier
80th, laser driver 81 and protocol chip 83.Amplifier 80 and protocol chip 83 are sequentially connected to photodiode 30 and are electrically connected
Between connecting terminal 50.Laser driver 81 and protocol chip 83 be sequentially connected to laser diode 31 and electric connection terminal 50 it
Between.Because amplifier 80, laser driver 81 and protocol chip 83 are known to technical staff described in this area, to omit herein
They are further described.In other embodiments, the photoelectric conversion unit 27 can also only include photodiode 30, put
Big device 80 and protocol chip 83, or only include laser diode 31, laser driver 81 and protocol chip 83.
When operating, the optical signal that speculum 70 transmits optical fiber 60(Downlink optical signal)This is transferred to after 90 degree of bending to put down
The pool side of face fiber waveguide optical splitter 20.Optical signal is divided into two beams by the planar optical waveguide optical splitter 20, a branch of by wherein one point
Zhi Duan is transferred to after collimation lens 40 via fiber waveguide 23 and exported, and another beam is by wherein another branch end via photodiode 30
Be converted to and exported successively through amplifier 80, protocol chip 83 by electric connection terminal 50 after electric signal.
The optical signal that collimation lens 41 is received reaches a branch end of planar optical waveguide optical splitter 21, electricity by fiber waveguide 25
The electric signal that connection terminal 50 is received reaches laser diode 31, the pole of laser two after protocol chip 83, laser driver 81
Electric signal is transformed into optical signal and optical signal is sent to another branch end of planar optical waveguide optical splitter 21 by pipe 31.Plane light wave
Optical splitter 21 is led by the optical signal of reception(Uplink optical signal)Speculum 71 is sent to via pool side, speculum 71 is curved by optical signal
Optical fiber 61 is transferred to after 90 degree of folding.
In the present embodiment, photoelectric conversion unit 27 obtains power supply supply from electric connection terminal 50, in other embodiment party
In formula, photoelectric conversion unit 27 can also be built-in with power supply.
In the present embodiment, two optical fiber are employed to transmit downlink optical signal and uplink optical signal respectively, now, under
The wavelength of traveling optical signal can be with identical with the wavelength of uplink optical signal.However, in other embodiments, can also be only with one
Root optical fiber transmits downlink optical signal and uplink optical signal simultaneously, and now, the wavelength of descending smooth sequence number and uplink optical signal is each other
It is different to separate mutually.Accordingly, now the dual-purpose connector of the photoelectricity can only include a speculum, a planar optical waveguide
Optical splitter, a fiber waveguide and a collimation lens.
The present invention is using collimation lens and electric connection terminal difference communicating optical signals and electric signal, so that photoelectricity is dual-purpose
Connector both can be used for communicating optical signals, can be used for transmitting electric signal, extends the application model of the dual-purpose connector of photoelectricity
Enclose.
