Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an optical module, and more particularly, to an optical module having an improved structure to enable high speed operation.
With the speed and miniaturization of optical communication systems, conventional optical modules in the form of Transistor Outline-CAN (TO-CAN) have electrical characteristics constraints for use at 10 Gbps or more. This is because most of the thio-can packages currently in use have a 90 degree bent signal flow when connected to a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB).
1 illustrates a connection structure between a thio-can package and a FPCB according to the related art. As shown in FIG. 1, a
This can be confirmed through the graph shown in FIG. 2. Here, the FPCB 10 has a transmission distance of 12 mm and is designed to have a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω. As shown in FIG. 2, since the transmission loss (S21) increases in the high frequency band and the reflection value S11 increases, the structure is difficult to use in the high frequency band.
On the other hand, the thio-can package is an example in which the electrical properties are greatly improved by coating a plurality of insulating layers on the lead for high speed operation. However, the thio-can package described above may have a complicated structure, which may have a disadvantage in that manufacturing cost is increased.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an optical module that can be used at a higher transmission speed and can be configured at a low cost since the flow path of the data signal is not bent when the data signal lead pin and the printed circuit board are connected. .
Optical module according to the present invention for achieving the above object, a stem; An optical element mounted on one surface of the stem; Data signal lead pins connected to the optical device and protruding from the stem to the other surface of the stem; A printed circuit board having data signal transmission lines for connecting to the data signal lead pins on one surface thereof and having a reinforcing portion protruding in a portion of the other surface; And protruding from the other surface of the stem, wherein the data signal lead pins are connected to the reinforcement part so as to be connected in a straight line on the data signal transmission lines to support the printed circuit board. It includes a post portion having a coupling portion to be coupled.
According to the present invention, since the flow path of the data signal does not bend and forms a straight line, it may be advantageous in terms of frequency bandwidth limitation and signal integrity due to impedance discontinuity. Therefore, the present invention can be used even at a higher transmission speed than in the related art, and can be operated at high speed without covering a plurality of insulating layers on the lead pins, which may be advantageous in reducing manufacturing costs.
Further, according to the present invention, since the data signal lead pin and the data signal transmission line are connected without an air gap, the impedance discontinuity point in the high frequency band does not occur, and thus the signal distortion phenomenon may be prevented.
