Description
The present invention relates to a packaging method of a multi-channel optical receiving module and a package thereof.
High-quality, large-capacity data traffic is transmitted by wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical signals of different wavelengths to one optical fiber. This wavelength division multiplexing scheme is an optical multiplexing scheme that simultaneously transmits a plurality of wavelength bands. A plurality of transmission information can be transmitted through one optical fiber, and a transmission capacity of 40 G or more can be accommodated.
Meanwhile, the wavelength division multiplexing method can be classified into CWDM (Coarse WDM) and DWDM (Dense WDM). In this case, the CWDM has a wide wavelength interval of several tens of nanometers, has a wavelength of 4 to 8, and is inexpensive. And DWDM is mainly used for medium and long distance transmission with several nm wavelength interval.
This wavelength division multiplexing scheme has been mainly used in a backbone network, but is also applied to an access loop network and an Ethernet network.
In the case of Ethernet, a CWDM system with four wavelengths is used as a standard, and various methods for implementing a four-wavelength Transmitter Optical Sub-Assembly (TOSA) and a Receiver Optical Sub-Assembly (ROSA) Has been proposed. At this time, the TOSA performs the electro-optical conversion and the wavelength multiplexing function of four channels, and the ROSA performs the wavelength demultiplexing and the four-channel optical-to-optical conversion function.
In the case of such an optical transceiver for Ethernet, miniaturization and low power of the optical transceiver are required for power consumption and integration of the data center, and optical alignment, packaging, and reliability of the optical module incorporated in the optical transceiver are also important.
However, conventional techniques having various structures have difficulties in downsizing due to the nature of the structure, and in particular, there is a problem that a loss due to optical alignment becomes large. In addition, the conventional techniques have a disadvantage in that packaging is difficult and the mass productivity is greatly reduced.
In this regard, in US-A-2006-0088255 (entitled: Multi-wavelength optical transceiver subassembly module), when signals are incident on thin film filters arranged in a pentagon shape through a receptacle, And only the optical signal of the corresponding wavelength is transmitted and the optical signal of the remaining wavelength is reflected.
However, the above-mentioned prior art is difficult to miniaturize due to its structural characteristics, has a large loss due to optical alignment, and has a disadvantage that packaging is difficult, resulting in poor mass productivity.
Embodiments of the present invention can easily implement a multi-channel optical module by manually mounting a parallel optical lens on a separate submount and monitoring and aligning the optical block and focusing lens with the filter using an objective lens and an IR camera Channel optical receiving module, and a package thereof.
It should be understood, however, that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described technical problems, and other technical problems may exist.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a packaging method for a multi-channel optical receiving module, comprising: mounting a first lens on a submount; Aligning an optical block comprising a plurality of filters on the submount; Mounting the aligned optical block on the submount; Aligning a second lens on the submount; Mounting the aligned second lens on the submount, and coupling the submount to the TO stem. The step of aligning the optical block may include passing the light source that is incident through the first lens and transmitted through the plurality of filters through an objective lens and positions the light source through the objective lens and the distance between the light sources The optical block is monitored through an IR camera to align the optical blocks such that the light sources transmitted through the plurality of filters have the same interval.
A multi-channel light receiving module package according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of light sources having different wavelengths mounted on the base so that the intervals between the base and the light sources output through the second lens are equal to each other A plurality of light receiving elements for receiving light, a head portion formed on the base to be inserted into the submount, at least one lead pin passing through the base, and a multi- A plurality of filters coupled to the optical block and transmitting only a specific wavelength among the parallel lights guided and reflecting the remaining wavelengths; And a second lens arranged to correspond to each of the elements and focusing the light source transmitted by the filter The.
According to any one of the above-mentioned objects of the present invention, since the optical system and the light receiving element are separately packaged in the packaging step, if a problem occurs in one part, the entire module is not required to be discarded. Cost reduction possible
Also, when the submount and the TO stem are coupled, the holes formed in the submount are sealed with epoxy, and the alignment is not changed due to changes in the external environment such as temperature change.
