The circuit board connects the electric devices in the optical module together according to the circuit design through the circuit wiring so as to realize the electric functions of power supply, electric signal transmission, grounding and the like.
The chip on the circuit board 300 may be a multifunctional integrated chip, for example, a laser driving chip and an MCU chip are integrated into one chip, or a laser driving chip, a limiting amplifier chip and an MCU chip are integrated into one chip, and the chip is a circuit integration, but the functions of the circuits are not lost due to aggregation, only the circuit shows a change in morphology, and the chip still has the circuit morphology.

The optical transceiver sub-module 400 is used for implementing optical signal transmission and optical signal reception, and the optical transceiver sub-module 400 is electrically connected to the circuit board 300. Optionally, the optical transceiver sub-module 400 is located at an end of the circuit board 300 and is physically separated from the circuit board 300; the optical transceiver sub-module 400 is electrically connected to the circuit board 300 through a flexible circuit board.
The optical transceiver sub-module 400 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes an optical fiber adapter 407, and the optical module is connected to an external optical fiber through the optical fiber adapter 407; the optical transceiver sub-module 400 further includes an optical receiving assembly and an optical transmitting assembly; the light receiving assembly is used for receiving signal light from the outside of the light module, and the light emitting assembly is used for emitting the signal light. In order to facilitate the packaging of the optical transceiver sub-module 400, the optical transceiver sub-module 400 includes an optical transceiver housing and an optical transceiver cover plate 402a covering the optical transceiver housing; the optical transceiver shell and the optical transceiver cover plate form an optical transceiver cavity; the signal light from the outside of the optical module is transmitted into the optical transceiver cavity through the optical fiber adapter 407, and then transmitted to the optical receiving assembly; the signal light emitted by the light emitting component is transmitted into the light receiving and transmitting cavity, and then the optical fiber adapter 407 is transmitted to the outside of the optical module. In order to facilitate the transmission of signal light from outside the optical module and emitted signal light in the optical transceiver cavity, an optical assembly is disposed in the optical transceiver cavity, and the optical assembly is used for adjusting the transmission light path from the external electric signal light of the optical module to the optical receiving assembly and the transmission light path of the emitted signal light of the optical emitting assembly.

In some techniques for achieving burst operation of a laser, it is often necessary to increase the bias current applied to the laser from 0mA to the current required for normal light emission, such as 80mA; in the whole loading process, the difference between the temperature change of the laser and the carrier change causes serious wavelength drift; if the wavelength-shifted light enters the optical network and there is crosstalk between adjacent channels, in some embodiments of the present application, the optical transmission path of the signal light emitted by the optical emission component may be generally provided with an optical tunable switch, an isolator, or a light selective transmission device combined with the optical tunable switch, so as to implement that the signal light output by the optical transceiver sub-module 400 is the signal light generated during normal light emission.
The optically tunable optical switch may be a pull-up rotator. The Faraday rotator has controllable polarization direction changing performance under the action of the magnetic field, namely, the polarization direction of the light can be changed when the light passes through the Faraday rotator; when the magnetic field outside the Faraday rotator is fixed, the change of the light polarization direction is fixed, and when the magnetic field outside the Faraday rotator is changed, the change of the light polarization direction is also changed. In some embodiments of the present application, a faraday rotator and an isolator are disposed on a transmission optical path of signal light emitted by the light emitting component; the polarization direction is consistent with that of the isolator, light can pass through the isolator and is inconsistent with that of the isolator, and all or part of the light cannot pass through the isolator, so that the polarization direction of signal light transmitted to the Faraday rotator is changed by controlling the magnetic field direction of the Faraday rotator, the signal light can pass through or pass through the isolator, and the selective passing of the signal light emitted by the light emitting component is realized by the cooperation of the Faraday rotator and the isolator. Such as: the light emitting component emits signal light with a first polarization direction, the isolator allows the polarization direction of the transmitted signal light to be a second polarization direction, and the Faraday rotator can change the polarization direction of the signal light with the first polarization direction into the second polarization direction or a third polarization direction by controlling the power-on direction of the Faraday rotator; therefore, by controlling the energizing direction of the Faraday rotator, whether the signal light emitted by the light emitting component is allowed to pass or not can be controlled. Typically the second polarization direction is 90 degrees different from the third polarization direction.
In addition, in order to realize burst transmission and reception in an optical network, the optical module provided by the embodiment of the application generally needs to realize tuning in a plurality of wavelengths, such as four wavelengths of 1532.68nm, 1533.47nm, 1534.25nm and 1535.04nm, four wavelengths of 1596.34nm, 1597.19nm, 1598.04nm and 1598.89 nm; furthermore, a plurality of wavelength screening devices are further arranged in the optical transceiver cavity in the optical module provided by the embodiment of the application, and the wavelength screening devices can be arranged on the transmitting optical path of the optical transmitting assembly and/or the receiving optical path of the optical receiving assembly. When the wavelength screening device is arranged on the transmitting light path of the light transmitting assembly, the wavelength screening device is used for screening signal light transmitted by the light transmitting assembly and preventing the signal light with the working wavelength of the non-optical module from being incident into the optical network; when the wavelength screening device is arranged on the receiving light path of the light receiving assembly, the wavelength screening device is used for screening the received signal light transmitted to the light receiving assembly and is used for preventing the signal light with the working wavelength of the non-light module from being received by the light receiving assembly.

In some embodiments of the present application, the wavelength screening device may include a first mirror, a second mirror, and a piezoelectric ceramic device, where an air cavity is formed between the first mirror and the first mirror, the piezoelectric ceramic device is disposed on the first mirror or the second mirror, and a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric ceramic device to change a width of the air cavity between the first mirror and the second mirror, that is, to change a length of a resonant cavity between the first mirror and the second mirror, and then to implement a wavelength of light passing through a specific signal by using a multi-beam interference principle. The piezoelectric ceramic device generally comprises a piezoelectric ceramic body, the two ends of the piezoelectric ceramic body are applied with voltage difference change, the adjustment of the stretching amount of the piezoelectric ceramic body can be realized, and then the piezoelectric ceramic body drives the first reflecting mirror or the second reflecting mirror to adjust the width of an air cavity between the first reflecting mirror and the second reflecting mirror, so that the signal light wavelength input into the wavelength screening device is screened and transmitted.

As shown in fig. 11, the embodiment of the present application provides a light selective transmission device 4092 including a faraday rotator 921 and an isolator 922, where the faraday rotator 921 and the isolator 922 are disposed in the first light receiving and transmitting cavity 403a, and the faraday rotator 921 and the isolator 922 are sequentially disposed on the transmission light path from the first collimating lens 4064a to the first filtering sheet 4062 a.
In some embodiments of the present application, the signal light generated by the first light emitting component 404a is collimated by the first collimating lens 4064a and then transmitted to the faraday rotator 921, and a magnetic field with a direction changing is applied to the faraday rotator 921, so that the direction-changing magnetic field can realize that the faraday rotator 921 adjusts the polarization state of the signal light according to the wavelength of the signal light generated by the first light emitting component 404a, and then the signal light is filtered according to the wavelength of the signal light generated by the first light emitting component 404a and then output to the outside of the optical module.
For example, when the polarization direction of the signal light generated by the first light emitting element 404a is adjusted to pass through the isolator 922, the direction of the magnetic field applied to the faraday rotator 921 is changed so that the signal light having a non-specific wavelength generated by the first light emitting element 404a cannot pass through the isolator 922 after passing through the faraday rotator 921 to adjust the polarization direction. Alternatively, the change in the direction of the applied magnetic field on the faraday rotator 921 is achieved by a change in the direction of the applied electric current. Assuming that the first light emitting element 404a emits the signal light of the first polarization direction, the isolator 922 allows the signal light of the second polarization direction to pass therethrough, and the faraday rotator 921 changes the polarization direction of the signal light of the first polarization direction to the second polarization direction when the first power-up direction is applied, and the faraday rotator 921 changes the polarization direction of the signal light of the first polarization direction to the third polarization direction when the second power-up direction is applied; then when the signal light emitted by the first light emitting element 404a is selected, the faraday rotator 921 is applied with electricity in the first power-up direction, and when the signal light emitted by the first light emitting element 404a is selected to be blocked, the faraday rotator 921 is applied with electricity in the first power-up direction. Optionally, the second polarization direction differs from the third polarization direction by 90 degrees. Therefore, when the laser chip in the first light emitting component 404a suddenly works, the bias current is increased from 0mA to the loading process of normal light emission, and by adjusting and controlling the direction of the magnetic field applied on the faraday rotator 921, it can be realized that the signal light generated by the first light emitting component 404a after the bias current is stabilized is allowed to be transmitted to the first filter 4062a through the isolator 922, so that the signal light with wavelength drift can be effectively prevented from entering the optical network.
