The transimpedance amplifier chip is closely associated with the light receiving chip, the short-distance wiring design can ensure good received signal quality, and in one packaging form of the optical module, the transimpedance amplifier chip and the light receiving chip are packaged together in an independent packaging body, such as the same coaxial tube shell TO or the same square cavity; the independent packaging body is independent of the circuit board 300, and the light receiving chip and the foot-spanning amplifying chip are electrically connected with the circuit board 300 through the independent packaging body; in another package form of the optical module, the light receiving chip and the transimpedance amplifier chip may be disposed on the surface of the circuit board 300 without using a separate package. Of course, the light receiving chip may be packaged separately, and the transimpedance amplifier chip may be disposed on the circuit board 300, so that the received signal quality may also meet some relatively low requirements.
The chip on the circuit board 300 may be an all-in-one chip, for example, a laser driver chip and an MCU chip are integrated into one chip, or a laser driver chip, a limiting amplifier chip and an MCU chip are integrated into one chip, and the chip is an integrated circuit, but the functions of each circuit do not disappear due to the integration, and only the circuit form is integrated.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an exploded structure of a receiving end (local) of an optical module according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 5 shows that the optical module according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a circuit board 300 and an optical receive sub-module 400. The optical receive sub-module 400 is disposed on the surface of the circuit board 300, and the optical receive sub-module 400 includes an optical receive chip 401, an optical waveguide 402, a transimpedance amplifier chip 500, and an amplitude limiting amplifier chip 600.
The light receiving chip 401, the transimpedance amplification chip 500 and the amplitude limiting amplification chip 600 are respectively arranged on the surface of the circuit board and electrically connected with the circuit board; the optical waveguide 402 is located above the light receiving chip 401, the light-sensitive surface of the light receiving chip 401 faces the optical waveguide 402, and light carrying a mixed frequency signal is transmitted into the light receiving chip 401 through the optical waveguide 402.
The light receiving chip 401 is a chip used by a receiving end of the optical module to receive a light signal, after the light signal is incident on a photosensitive surface of the light receiving chip, the light receiving chip 401 generates a current signal by using a photoelectric conversion effect, and in a process of converting light into current, a carrier of the signal is changed, but information is not changed. The signal output by the light receiving chip is usually an analog signal, and the common light receiving chip is a PIN photodiode or a photo avalanche diode APD.
The photocurrent generated by the light receiving chip 401 is transmitted to the transimpedance amplifier chip 500, and the photocurrent is amplified by the transimpedance amplifier chip 500 and then output to the amplitude limiting amplifier chip 600. In addition, the transimpedance amplification chip 500 may also integrate a conversion circuit to convert the current for reception into a voltage signal.
In addition, the circuit board 30 is further provided with a sampling circuit 800, and the signal output by the transimpedance amplifier chip 500 is converted into a signal that can be received by the microprocessor 700 and then transmitted to the microprocessor 700, for example, the signal output by the transimpedance amplifier chip 500 is a current signal, but the microprocessor 700 can only receive a voltage signal, and then the current signal output by the transimpedance amplifier chip 500 is converted into a voltage signal of a preset magnitude by using the sampling circuit 800 and then transmitted to the microprocessor 700. Of course, in other embodiments, the transimpedance amplifier chip 500 and the microprocessor 700 can also be electrically connected directly.
The microprocessor 700 implements the received optical power strength detection function according to the received signal. For the received optical power strength detection, a monitoring bit may be set in a register inside the microprocessor 700 to implement real-time monitoring of the received optical power, and a LOS alarm bit may be set to indicate whether the optical module detects an optical signal at this time. Fig. 6 is a block diagram of an internal structure of an optical module according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 6, the output end of the transimpedance amplifier chip 500 is connected to the input end of the first sampling circuit 801, the output end of the first sampling circuit 801 is electrically connected to the LOS signal generating module 900, and the LOS signal generating module 900 compares the magnitude of the received electrical signal with a preset threshold, where it can be set that when the optical module does not receive an optical signal or the received optical signal is lower than the threshold, that is, the received electrical signal is lower than the preset threshold, an LOS signal is output, if a high level signal is output to the microprocessor 700, and after the microprocessor 700 receives the signal, a first preset value is written into the LOS alarm bit to prompt the upper computer that no signal is input or the signal is lost; on the contrary, when the optical signal received by the optical module is higher than the threshold, that is, the electrical signal received by the optical module is higher than the preset threshold, the LOS signal is not output, if a low level signal is output to the microprocessor 700, and after the microprocessor 700 receives the signal, the first preset value in the LOS alarm bit is changed into the second preset value, where the second preset value may be a default value after the module is powered on. And the upper computer learns the optical signal receiving condition of the optical module through the state of the LOS signal and performs corresponding operation if necessary.
At present, the setting method of the preset threshold value for LOS alarm generally includes: after the light receiving chip 401, the transimpedance amplification chip 500 and the amplitude limiting amplification chip 600 are assembled, a preset threshold is firstly found out through a plurality of module samples, then the preset threshold is verified through a small batch of modules, the preset threshold is adjusted according to the verification condition, and then the preset threshold is solidified. However, most transimpedance amplifier chips 500 have an inherent noise, i.e., they output an electrical signal in the absence of an optical signal and vary with the temperature of the chip. Since the ground noise interferes with the real signal output, if the above-mentioned fixed preset threshold is continuously adopted, the problem of LOS alarm abnormality will be caused.
Therefore, the embodiment of the present application further provides that the microprocessor 700 is electrically connected to the LOS signal generating module 900, wherein the microprocessor 700 is configured to: firstly, acquiring the current temperature of the transimpedance amplification chip 500; then, according to the preset correspondence between the temperature of the transimpedance amplifier chip and the LOS threshold, the LOS threshold corresponding to the current temperature is determined, and the LOS threshold is sent to the LOS signal generation module, so that the LOS signal generation module 900 compares the received LOS threshold with the signal input by the first sampling circuit 801.
Since the bottom noise of the transimpedance amplifier chip 500 is a quantity that changes with temperature, the relationship of the bottom noise value of the transimpedance amplifier chip that changes with temperature can be fitted by collecting the bottom noise values of the transimpedance amplifier chip 500 at different temperatures, and certainly, the relationship can also be a corresponding relationship table of the bottom noise value and the temperature. Further, based on the different bottom noise values of the transimpedance amplifier chip 500 at different temperatures, different LOS thresholds are set according to the different bottom noise values of the transimpedance amplifier chip 500, and then a function of the LOS threshold changing along with the bottom noise is obtained, which may be a corresponding relation table of the LOS threshold and the bottom noise. Furthermore, the setting method corresponding to the correspondence between the temperature of the transimpedance amplifier chip 500 and the LOS threshold is as follows: firstly, determining a bottom noise value corresponding to the current temperature according to the change relation of the bottom noise value of a preset transimpedance amplification chip along with the temperature, specifically, the change relation can be a table look-up mode, a function calculation mode and the like; and determining an LOS threshold corresponding to the bottom noise value according to the change relation of the preset LOS threshold along with the bottom noise. Of course, the change relationship of the LOS threshold value along with the temperature of the transimpedance amplifier chip may also be obtained based on the change relationship of the bottom noise value of the transimpedance amplifier chip along with the temperature and the change relationship of the LOS threshold value along with the bottom noise, so that the MCU may directly obtain the LOS threshold value corresponding to the temperature according to the temperature of the transimpedance amplifier chip.
By setting the threshold values at different temperatures by the microprocessor 700, the influence of the variation of the bottom noise value of the transimpedance amplification chip with the temperature can be eliminated, and the LOS signal can be accurately reported.
Further, as shown in fig. 6, when the module receives real-time monitoring of the optical power, the output terminal of the transimpedance amplifier chip 500 is connected to the input terminal of the second sampling circuit 802, the output terminal of the second sampling circuit 802 is electrically connected to the microprocessor 700, and after receiving the signal, the microprocessor 700 performs analog-to-digital conversion on the signal, converts the signal into a corresponding optical power value, and writes the optical power value into a preset monitoring bit. The upper computer can monitor the running state of the optical module in real time by reading the written value in the monitoring position so as to quickly find and position system faults. The second sampling circuit 802 and the first sampling circuit 801 may be integrated into a single circuit.
However, the bottom noise of the transimpedance amplifier chip 500 affects the detection result of the received optical power value, so that the upper computer may misjudge the operation state of the optical module. To address this issue, the microprocessor 700 in the present embodiment is further configured to: firstly, acquiring the current temperature of the transimpedance amplification chip 500; then, according to a preset corresponding relation between the temperature of the transimpedance amplification chip and the background noise, determining a background noise value corresponding to the current temperature, and removing the background noise value from an initial value of a signal output by the transimpedance amplification chip to serve as an effective value of the signal output by the transimpedance amplification chip; and finally, according to the corresponding relation between the size of the signal output by the transimpedance amplification chip and the received light power, the light power value corresponding to the effective value is used as the received light power of the optical module, and therefore accurate monitoring of the received light power of the optical module at different temperatures can be achieved.
