In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a back surface structure of a first circuit substrate in an optical module according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a structure of an optical module according to an embodiment of the present invention, and with reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2, an optical module 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first circuit substrate 1, a grating-coupled optoelectronic chip 2, and an optical coupling component 3; the first circuit substrate 1 comprises a first opening 11, the back surface F1 of the first circuit substrate 1 comprises a pad area S1 and a non-pad area S2, and the first opening 11 is arranged corresponding to the non-pad area S2 and penetrates through the first circuit substrate 1; the grating coupling photoelectric chip 2 is reversely mounted on the back surface F1 of the first circuit substrate 1 and is electrically connected with the first circuit substrate 1; the grating coupling photoelectric chip 2 comprises an optical signal output area S3, and the first opening 11 exposes the optical signal output area S3; the optical coupling module 3 includes an optical signal receiving end, which is located in the first opening 11 and opposite to the optical signal output region S3.
In short, the working principle of the optical module is as follows: the high-frequency transmission line is arranged in the first circuit substrate 1 and can transmit a high-frequency electric signal to the grating coupling photoelectric chip 2, the grating coupling photoelectric chip 2 can convert the high-frequency electric signal into a high-frequency optical signal (namely, an optical signal carrying information) after receiving the high-frequency electric signal and a light source signal, the high-frequency optical signal is coupled to the optical coupling component 3, the high-frequency optical signal is transmitted outwards through an optical fiber in the optical coupling component 3, and signal transmission of a data center is achieved.
The high-frequency electrical signal is provided by the switch chip, and is described in detail later based on the co-packaged optical system, which is not described herein again. The light source signal can be provided by an internal light source device, i.e. a light source device integrated inside the optical module, or an external light source device, i.e. a light source device arranged outside the optical module. Specifically, when the switch chip provides the high-frequency electrical signal to the grating coupling optoelectronic chip 2, the light source device provides the light source signal (simple optical signal) to the grating coupling optoelectronic chip 2, so, the grating coupling optoelectronic chip 2 can convert the high-frequency electrical signal into the high-frequency optical signal carrying information through photoelectric modulation according to the light source signal and the high-frequency electrical signal, realize photoelectric conversion, and then carry out the transmission of the high-frequency optical signal through the optical coupling component 3, and vice versa.
In this embodiment, the optical coupling component 3 may specifically be a Fiber Array (FA) based on a V-groove, and is configured to receive a high-frequency optical signal output by the grating-coupled optoelectronic chip 2, and a detailed description is subsequently made on a specific structure of the optical coupling component 3.
In this embodiment, the grating coupled optoelectronic chip 2 specifically refers to an electronic and photonic integrated circuit integrated with a grating coupler (grating coupler), and the grating coupled optoelectronic chip may be electrically connected to the first circuit substrate 1 in an inverted mounting manner, and the grating coupled optoelectronic chip is used as an optoelectronic engine of the optical module, so that loss of a high-frequency circuit caused by wire bonding of the existing end-face coupled optoelectronic chip can be effectively reduced, and high-frequency performance of the high-speed optical module is optimized.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, a plurality of first pads 12 are disposed in a pad region S1 of the first circuit substrate 1, the grating-coupled optoelectronic chip 2 includes a plurality of second pads 22, the second pads 22 and the optical signal output region S3 are located on the same side of the grating-coupled optoelectronic chip 2, and the second pads 22 are electrically connected to the first pads 12, so that the grating-coupled optoelectronic chip 2 is inversely attached to the back surface F1 of the first circuit substrate 1, and the grating-coupled optoelectronic chip 2 is electrically connected to the high-frequency transmission line in the first circuit substrate 1.
It is worth emphasizing that the application of the grating coupled optoelectronic chip in the optical module is difficult to realize due to the limitations of the OIF protocol and the FA process at present, so that the end face coupled optoelectronic chip is mostly adopted, and the problems of the high-frequency circuit loss and the difficulty in optimizing the high-frequency performance are generated therewith. According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the first opening 11 is arranged in the first circuit substrate 1 corresponding to the non-bonding pad area, the grating coupling photoelectric chip 2 is inversely mounted on the back surface F1 of the first circuit substrate 1 to be electrically connected with the first circuit substrate 1, and the optical signal output area S3 of the grating coupling photoelectric chip 2 is exposed through the first opening 11, so that the optical coupling component 3 can be coupled with the grating coupling photoelectric chip 2 to realize signal transmission, and therefore, the grating coupling photoelectric chip can be used as a photoelectric engine to be applied to an optical module, realizability is provided, and meanwhile, due to the inverse mounting electric connection mode of the grating coupling photoelectric chip, loss of a high-frequency circuit can be reduced, and high-frequency performance of a high-speed optical module is optimized.
The structure of the optical module is further described in detail below, and the design principle of the present invention is also explained in detail.
With continued reference to fig. 2, the optical coupling assembly 3 includes an optical fiber array 31 and at least one connector 32; the optical fiber array 31 includes an optical coupling substrate 311 and a plurality of optical fibers 312 (only one of the optical fibers is illustrated in fig. 2), wherein first ends of the optical fibers 312 are located in the optical coupling substrate 311, and second ends of the optical fibers 312 are connected to the connector 32.
The optical coupling substrate 311 may specifically include a substrate having a V-groove and a pressing plate opposite to the substrate. The first end of the optical fiber 312 is placed in a V-groove after removing the surface coating and exposing the bare optical fiber, and is pressed by a pressing plate and adhered by an adhesive to form the optical fiber array 31, and the optical fiber array 31 is coupled with the grating coupling photoelectric chip 2 to couple the high-frequency optical signal into the optical fiber 312 for transmission. The optical fiber 312 in the optical module can be connected with an external optical fiber through the connector 32, so that long-distance transmission of signals is realized.
As shown in fig. 2, the optical signal output region S3 of the grating-coupled optoelectronic chip 2 is usually disposed on the top surface of the chip, and therefore, the shape of the first cross section of the optical coupling substrate 311 needs to be L-shaped (the optical module is in an inverted L shape after being assembled), and the first cross section (the cross section shown in fig. 2) is perpendicular to the plane of the first circuit substrate 1; correspondingly, the first end portion of the optical fiber 312 includes a first optical fiber section 3121, a second optical fiber section 3122, and a third optical fiber section 3123 connecting the first optical fiber section 3121 and the second optical fiber section 3122, the extending direction of the first optical fiber section 3121 is perpendicular to the plane of the first circuit substrate 1 and is opposite to the optical signal output region S3, the second optical fiber section 3122 is located on the side of the first optical fiber section 3121 away from the first circuit substrate 1, and the extending direction is parallel to the plane of the first circuit substrate 1, so that the first end portion of the optical fiber 312 is bent by 90 ° in the optical coupling substrate 311, and the optical fiber 312 finally assumes a horizontally extending state.
Fig. 3 is an exploded view of an optical module according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 2 and 3, the optical module 10 further includes a first housing 5 and a second housing 6; the first housing 5 comprises a first housing subsection 51 and a second housing subsection 52, the first housing subsection 51 comprises a second opening 511 and a rim portion 512, the rim portion 512 and the second housing subsection 52 are of an integral structure; the first circuit substrate 1 is located on the first side F2 of the first casing 5 and fixed on the frame portion 512, and the second opening 511 exposes the top surface of the first circuit substrate 1; the optical coupling component 3 is located on the second side F3 of the first housing 5, and at least a portion of the optical coupling substrate 311 is located in the second opening 511; the second housing subsection 52 is for supporting the optical fiber 312; the first side F2 is opposite to the second side F3; the second housing 6 is located on a side of the optical coupling assembly 3 away from the first housing 5; the second housing 6 includes a groove (not shown in fig. 3), the optical coupling substrate 311, the first housing 5 and the first circuit substrate 1 are embedded in the groove, and the connector 32 and a portion of the optical fiber 312 are located outside the second housing 6. The first housing 5 and the second housing 6 have correspondingly arranged screw holes 7 for mounting screws (not shown in fig. 3) for fixing the light module.
Specifically, the first housing 5 and the second housing 6 are used for encapsulating, protecting and fixing the structures such as the first circuit substrate 1, the optical coupling component 3, the grating coupling optoelectronic chip 2 and the like, so that the optical module and the switch chip can be conveniently encapsulated in the following.
The first housing 5 is divided into a first housing subsection 51 and a second housing subsection 52, and the first housing subsection 51 is provided with a second opening 511 corresponding to the first circuit substrate 1, so that after the grating-coupled optoelectronic chip 2 is inversely mounted on the back surface of the first circuit substrate 1, the first circuit substrate 1 can be fixed on the bottom surface of the first housing 5, the second opening 511 is exposed on the top surface of the first circuit substrate 1, and the optical signal output region S3 of the grating-coupled optoelectronic chip 2 can also be exposed, and in addition, the optical coupling component 3 can be accommodated in the second opening 511 of the first housing 5, and the optical fiber 312 is supported by the second housing subsection 52. The second housing 6 is a protective housing having a recess for accommodating the optical coupling assembly 3, the first housing 5, and the first circuit board 1, and only a portion of the optical fiber 312, the connector 32, and the first pad 12 on the back surface F1 of the first circuit board 1 is exposed.
Fig. 4 and fig. 5 are schematic diagrams of a design principle of an optical module according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the reason why the grating-coupled optoelectronic chip is difficult to be well applied in the optical module is shown in fig. 4 is that: the OIF protocol specifies the height of the optical module, so that the internal height (H) of the first and second housings 5, 6 is limited; in addition, due to the limitation of the conventional FA process and the minimum bending radius of the optical fiber, in order to realize 90 ° bending of the optical fiber 312 in the optical coupling substrate 311, the optical coupling substrate 311 has a certain height (D) in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the first circuit substrate 1. In addition, according to the OIF protocol, the back surface of the circuit substrate of the optical module has a pad area and a non-pad area, the non-pad area generally needs to be provided with elements such as an MCU (Micro Control Unit), and the optoelectronic chip is generally provided on the top surface of the circuit substrate. As can be seen from fig. 4, based on the above OIF protocol and the limitation of the FA process, if the optical grating coupling optoelectronic chip is adopted and bonded to the top surface of the first circuit substrate 1, the internal height (H) of the optical module is difficult to accommodate the optical coupling assembly, in other words, the internal height of the optical module causes that the optical fiber 312 is difficult to bend by 90 ° in a limited height space, and further causes that the application of the optical grating coupling optoelectronic chip in the optical module is difficult to implement.
In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, the first opening 11 is disposed on the first circuit substrate 1 corresponding to the non-pad area, and the grating-coupled optoelectronic chip 2 is mounted on the back of the first circuit substrate 1 in an inverted manner, so that the first opening 11 can be used to increase the available height space inside the optical module, and the optical fiber 312 can be bent by 90 ° in a limited height space, and thus the grating-coupled optoelectronic chip can be used as a photovoltaic engine in an optical module. In this embodiment, the MCU and other components originally disposed in the non-pad area can be adjusted to the top surface of the first circuit substrate 1.
Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the invention also provides a co-packaged optical system.

Since the co-packaged optical system 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the optical module 10 provided by any of the above embodiments, the same beneficial effects as those of the above optical module are obtained, the loss of the high-frequency circuit can be reduced, and the high-frequency performance of the system can be improved.

Illustratively, the electrical connector 40 may be an electrical receptacle.

The light source device can be an internal light source device and an external light source device.
