10 optical properties (such as, transmitance matter or light reflectance properties, etc.) itself can be arranged, flexibly as long as it arranges energy
Enough meet light propagation path described in detail below.
First generating laser 2 can send the light with first wave length.The light of this first wave length travels to the first optical filtering
On sheet 7, and incide fiber adapter 6 through the first optical filter 7.That is, the first generating laser 2 is sent by the first optical filter 7
The light with first wave length be transmitted to fiber adapter 6.
Second generating laser 3 can send the light with second wave length.The light of this second wave length incides the first optical filtering
On sheet 7.First optical filter 7 by the luminous reflectance of this second wave length to fiber adapter 6.Here, the first optical filter 7 can be fully
Or partly reflect the light of this second wave length.
I.e., in certain embodiments, the light of the first optical filter 7 transmission first wave length and reflect the light of second wave length.
Fiber adapter 6 can be comprised from external reception light, this light by optical fiber and has the light of the 3rd wavelength and divide
Measure and have the light component (being referred to as light and the light of the 4th wavelength of the 3rd wavelength separately below) of the 4th wavelength.This light is injected
After fiber adapter 6, this fiber adapter 6 penetrate, incide the second optical filter 8.This second optical filter 8 is by the therein 3rd
The light of wavelength and the luminous reflectance of the 4th wavelength are to the 3rd optical filter 9.3rd optical filter 9 makes the light transmission from which of the 3rd wavelength
And incide the first laser pickoff 4, and make the light of the 4th wavelength reflect from it the 4th optical filter 10.4th optical filter 10
Make the light transmission from which of the 4th wavelength and incide the second laser pickoff 5.

In embodiments of the invention, aforesaid first generating laser the 2, second generating laser the 3, first laser pickoff
4, longitudinal center's axis of the second laser pickoff 5 and fiber adapter 6 is positioned at approximately the same plane (seeing Fig. 3 and Fig. 4), this
Sample so that the light of the light of aforesaid first wave length, the light of second wave length, the light of the 3rd wavelength and the 4th wavelength is at this optical transceiver
In light path in approximately the same plane (i.e. the plane at the place, cross section shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4).Therefore, the light of the embodiment of the present invention
In transceiver, light is propagated in same two dimensional surface, rather than propagates in three-dimensional planar, and the first generating laser 2, second swashs
Optical transmitting set the 3, first laser pickoff the 4, second laser pickoff 5 and fiber adapter 6 can be arranged in the same plane (i.e.
Its longitudinal center's axis is in the same plane), rather than be distributed in three dimensions.Therefore, the volume of this optical transceiver can do
The least thinner, thus meet the international standard dimensional requirement of XFP or SFP.
Here, described " longitudinally " may refer to these devices installation direction in the installing hole of body 1.
Seeing Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second optical filter 8 can be arranged on fiber adapter 6 He
Between first optical filter 7, i.e. it is positioned at the light of aforesaid first wave length and the light of second wave length from the first optical filter 7 to fiber adapters
In the light path of device 6.Second optical filter 8 is relative to the position of other elements of optical transceiver and angle and the second optical filter 8
The optical property (such as, light transmission and light reflectance properties) of body can be suitably arranged the light so that aforesaid first wave length and
The light of second wave length incides fiber adapter 6 through the second optical filter 8.That is, the second optical filter 8 aforesaid first wave length of transmission
Light and the light of aforesaid second wave length to fiber adapter 6.As such, it is possible to make the more compact structure of this optical transceiver, enter
One step reduces the volume of optical transceiver.
The present invention is illustrated by use above specific case, is only intended to help and understands the present invention, not in order to limit
The present invention processed.For those skilled in the art, according to the thought of the present invention, it is also possible to make some simply
Deduce, deform or replace.
