Description
本發明係關於一種光電混合板以及光耦合裝置,並且特別地,本發明係關於一種能將光電轉換器之光訊號導至光纖且將部分光訊號導至監控用檢光二極體之光電混合板以及光耦合裝置。 The present invention relates to an opto-electric hybrid board and an optical coupling device, and in particular to an opto-electric hybrid board capable of guiding an optical signal of a photoelectric converter to an optical fiber and guiding part of the optical signal to a monitoring light-emitting diode. And an optical coupling device.
於實務中,光傳輸系統屬於有線遠程通訊的一種,其與傳統電傳輸系統不同處,在於光傳輸系統係以光及光纖來傳遞資訊。相較於傳統電傳輸技術,光傳輸技術具有傳輸容量大、保密性好等許多優點,因此光纖通訊現在已經成為當今最主要的有線通訊方式。光經過調變後便可攜帶資訊,一言以蔽之,光傳輸技術之實行方法在於將欲傳送的資訊輸入至光電轉換器中,以將資訊疊加或調變到作為資訊訊號載體的載波上,然後將已調變的載波通過傳輸媒質(光纖)傳送到遠處的接收端,最後由接收器解調出原來的資訊。 In practice, the optical transmission system is a kind of wired remote communication, which is different from the traditional electric transmission system in that the optical transmission system transmits information by light and optical fiber. Compared with traditional electric transmission technology, optical transmission technology has many advantages such as large transmission capacity and good confidentiality. Therefore, optical fiber communication has become the most important wired communication method today. After the light is modulated, the information can be carried. In a word, the optical transmission technology is implemented by inputting the information to be transmitted to the photoelectric converter to superimpose or modulate the information onto the carrier as the information signal carrier. Then, the modulated carrier is transmitted to the remote receiving end through the transmission medium (optical fiber), and finally the original information is demodulated by the receiver.
一般來說,為了保持傳輸訊號的強度,通常採用能發出具有方向性之雷射光的雷射二極體作為光電轉換器之光源。於先前技術中,垂直共振腔面射型雷射產生器(Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser,VCSEL)已被採用作為雷射光源之資料輸入端。垂直共振腔面射型雷射產生器可於其製作的任何過程中進行測試,而垂直共振腔面射 型雷射產生器係以垂直於其反應區之方向射出雷射。因此,於先前技術中,垂直共振腔面射型雷射產生器可利用覆晶技術(Flip-chip)方式設置於電路板或光電混合板上,使其發出的雷射光能穿過電路板而進入設置於電路板背面的光波導結構,再由光波導結構將雷射光導入光纖中。 In general, in order to maintain the intensity of the transmission signal, a laser diode capable of emitting directional laser light is generally used as the light source of the photoelectric converter. In the prior art, a Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) has been adopted as a data input terminal for a laser source. The vertical cavity surface-emitting laser generator can be tested in any process it produces, while the vertical cavity is exposed. A type of laser generator emits a laser in a direction perpendicular to its reaction zone. Therefore, in the prior art, the vertical cavity surface-emitting laser generator can be disposed on a circuit board or an opto-electric hybrid board by using a flip chip method, so that the laser light emitted by the vertical cavity can pass through the circuit board. The optical waveguide structure disposed on the back surface of the circuit board is entered, and the laser light is introduced into the optical fiber by the optical waveguide structure.
請參閱圖一,圖一係繪示先前技術之光電混合板1的示意圖。如圖一所示,光電混合板1具有電路基板10、光電轉換器12與光波導結構14,其中電路基板10包含功能面100與相對於功能面100之背面102,而光電轉換器12以覆晶技術設置於功能面100之上。光電轉換器12包含晶片120與垂直共振腔面射型雷射產生器122,其中,晶片120可用來控制垂直共振腔面射型雷射產生器122產生帶有資訊之雷射光L,並且由於垂直共振腔面射型雷射產生器122以覆晶技術設置在電路基板10上,所產生的雷射光L會朝電路基板10前進。電路基板10設有穿孔104,其位置對應垂直共振腔面射型雷射產生器122之位置,因此,垂直共振腔面射型雷射產生器122發出的雷射光L可穿過穿孔104。 Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a photoelectric hybrid board 1 of the prior art. As shown in FIG. 1, the opto-electric hybrid board 1 has a circuit substrate 10, a photoelectric converter 12 and an optical waveguide structure 14, wherein the circuit substrate 10 includes a functional surface 100 and a back surface 102 opposite to the functional surface 100, and the photoelectric converter 12 is covered. The crystal technology is disposed on the functional surface 100. The photoelectric converter 12 includes a wafer 120 and a vertical cavity surface-emitting laser generator 122, wherein the wafer 120 can be used to control the vertical cavity surface-emitting laser generator 122 to generate laser light with information, and because of the vertical The cavity surface type laser generator 122 is provided on the circuit substrate 10 by a flip chip technique, and the generated laser light L is advanced toward the circuit substrate 10. The circuit substrate 10 is provided with a through hole 104 whose position corresponds to the position of the vertical cavity surface type laser generator 122. Therefore, the laser light L emitted from the vertical cavity surface type laser generator 122 can pass through the through hole 104.
光波導結構14設置於電路基板10的背面102上,其一端連接穿孔104,另一端則可接近光纖的光線接收端(未繪示於圖中)。光波導結構14於之折射率大於環境之折射率,並且在連接穿孔104之一端形成斜面140。當垂直共振腔面射型雷射產生器122所發出之雷射光L穿過穿孔104後會進入到光波導結構14,並且由於光波導結構14於之折射率大於環境之折射率,雷射光L會被斜面14全反射而在光波導結構14中行進,最後到達光纖之光線接收端而被光纖接收。因此,藉由圖一 之光電混合板1的結構,可令光電混合板1之整體體積降低,能更有效地利用空間。 The optical waveguide structure 14 is disposed on the back surface 102 of the circuit substrate 10. One end is connected to the through hole 104, and the other end is adjacent to the light receiving end of the optical fiber (not shown). The optical waveguide structure 14 has a refractive index greater than that of the environment, and a slope 140 is formed at one end of the connection via 104. When the laser light L emitted by the vertical cavity surface type laser generator 122 passes through the through hole 104, it enters the optical waveguide structure 14, and since the refractive index of the optical waveguide structure 14 is greater than the refractive index of the environment, the laser light L It will be totally reflected by the ramp 14 to travel in the optical waveguide structure 14, and finally reach the light receiving end of the optical fiber to be received by the optical fiber. Therefore, by Figure 1 The structure of the opto-electric hybrid board 1 can reduce the overall volume of the opto-electric hybrid board 1, and can utilize the space more efficiently.
然而,圖一之光電混合板1並未設有監控用檢光二極體來檢測所產生的雷射光資訊,例如光通量等,故無法達到回饋控制的功能。因此,有必要發展一種可以檢測光電轉換器所發出之光線之光電混合板,以解決上述問題。 However, the photoelectric hybrid board 1 of Fig. 1 is not provided with the monitoring light-detecting diode to detect the generated laser light information, such as luminous flux, etc., so that the feedback control function cannot be achieved. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an opto-electric hybrid board capable of detecting the light emitted from the photoelectric converter to solve the above problems.
本發明之一範疇在於提供一種光電混合板,用來將電訊號轉變為光訊號並將光訊號輸入至光纖。根據一具體實施例,光電混合版包含電路基板、光電轉換器、第一光波導結構、連接光波導結構以及第二光波導結構。電路基板包含功能面、背面、第一穿孔與第二穿孔,光電轉換器設置於功能面上,而第一光波導結構則設置於背面上。光電轉換器包含光源單元與監控用檢光二極體,其中光源單元設置於第一穿孔上,而監控用檢光二極體設置於第二穿孔上。第一光波導結構一端連接第一穿孔且形成第一斜面,第一斜面上塗佈薄膜層且薄膜層上具有開口可顯露出部分的第一斜面。連接光波導結構覆蓋於薄膜層上並透過開口接觸到部分的第一斜面。第二光波導結構一端接觸連接光波導結構且形成第二斜面,並且另一端對準第二穿孔且形成第三斜面。 One aspect of the present invention is to provide an opto-electric hybrid board for converting electrical signals into optical signals and inputting optical signals to optical fibers. According to a specific embodiment, the opto-electric hybrid board comprises a circuit substrate, a photoelectric converter, a first optical waveguide structure, a connecting optical waveguide structure, and a second optical waveguide structure.

The photoelectric converter comprises a light source unit and a monitoring light-detecting diode, wherein the light source unit is disposed on the first through hole, and the monitoring light-detecting diode is disposed on the second through hole. The first optical waveguide structure is connected to the first through hole at one end and forms a first inclined surface. The first inclined surface is coated with a film layer and the film layer has an opening on the film layer to expose a portion of the first inclined surface. The connecting optical waveguide structure covers the thin film layer and contacts a portion of the first inclined surface through the opening. The second optical waveguide structure is in contact with the optical waveguide structure at one end and forms a second inclined surface, and the other end is aligned with the second through hole and forms a third inclined surface.
第一光波導結構、連接光波導結構與第二光波導結構具有相同的折射率,且此折射率大於環境的折射率。因此,光源單元所產生的光穿過第一穿孔進入第一光波導結構後,部分光線會被第一斜 面全反射而於第一光波導結構內行進至光纖處,另一部分之光線則經過薄膜層之開口進入與第一斜面接觸且折射率相同之連接光波導結構。進入連接光波導結構之光線會進一步射入與連接光波導結構接觸之第二光波導結構,並被第二光波導結構之第二斜面與第三斜面全反射,最後穿過第二穿孔到達監控用檢光二極體。 The first optical waveguide structure, the connected optical waveguide structure and the second optical waveguide structure have the same refractive index, and the refractive index is greater than the refractive index of the environment. Therefore, after the light generated by the light source unit passes through the first through hole and enters the first optical waveguide structure, part of the light is first inclined. The surface is totally reflected and travels to the optical fiber within the first optical waveguide structure, and the other portion of the light passes through the opening of the thin film layer into the connected optical waveguide structure having the same refractive index as the first inclined surface. The light entering the structure connecting the optical waveguide further enters the second optical waveguide structure in contact with the optical waveguide structure, and is totally reflected by the second inclined surface and the third inclined surface of the second optical waveguide structure, and finally passes through the second through hole to reach the monitoring. Use a light detector diode.
如上述,本發明之光電混合板除了可將光電轉換器之光源單元所發出之光線輸入至光纖外,還可擷取部分光線至光電混合板上的監控用檢光二極體以檢測所產生之光線特性。此外,光電混合板的光電轉換器位於功能面上而各光波導結構位於光電混合板背面,故光電混合板整體的體積小,有利於空間利用。 As described above, in addition to inputting the light emitted by the light source unit of the photoelectric converter to the optical fiber, the photoelectric hybrid board of the present invention can also extract part of the light to the monitoring light detecting diode on the photoelectric hybrid board to detect the generated light. Light characteristics. In addition, the photoelectric converter of the photoelectric hybrid board is located on the functional surface and the optical waveguide structures are located on the back surface of the photoelectric hybrid board, so that the overall volume of the photoelectric hybrid board is small, which is advantageous for space utilization.

The optical coupling device includes a first optical waveguide structure, a connecting optical waveguide structure, and a second optical waveguide structure, all having the same refractive index, and the refractive index is greater than the refractive index of the environment. The first optical waveguide structure is disposed on the back surface of the circuit substrate of the opto-electric hybrid board, and is connected to the first through hole on the circuit substrate, so that the light generated by the light source unit disposed on the functional surface of the circuit substrate and corresponding to the first perforation can pass through A perforation and entry into the first optical waveguide structure.
第一光波導結構連接第一穿孔之一端具有第一斜面,第一斜面上塗佈薄膜層且薄膜層上有一開口,由於第一光波導結構之折射率大於薄膜層,因此部分光線會被第一斜面全反射而於第一光波導結構內行進。連接光波導結構透過開口接觸第一光波導結構之第一斜面,故另一部分的光線穿透至連接光波導結構中。第二光波導結構接 觸連接光波導結構,故進入連接光波導結構中之部分光線進入第二光波導結構,並被第二光波導結構之第二斜面與第三斜面全反射,最後穿過電路基板之第二穿孔到達設置於電路基板上之監控用檢光二極體。 The first optical waveguide structure is connected to one end of the first through hole and has a first inclined surface. The first inclined surface is coated with a thin film layer and an opening is formed on the thin film layer. Since the refractive index of the first optical waveguide structure is larger than the thin film layer, part of the light is to be A bevel is totally reflected and travels within the first optical waveguide structure. The connecting optical waveguide structure contacts the first inclined surface of the first optical waveguide structure through the opening, so that another portion of the light penetrates into the connected optical waveguide structure. Second optical waveguide structure connection Touching the optical waveguide structure, a part of the light entering the optical waveguide structure enters the second optical waveguide structure, is totally reflected by the second inclined surface and the third inclined surface of the second optical waveguide structure, and finally passes through the second perforation of the circuit substrate. The monitoring light-detecting diode disposed on the circuit board is reached.
如上述,本發明之光耦合裝置除了可將設置於光電混合板上之光源單元所發出之光線輸入至光纖外,還可擷取部分光線至光電混合板上的監控用檢光二極體以檢測所產生之光線特性。此外,光耦合裝置設置於光電混合板背面,可使光電混合板整體體積降低,有利於空間利用。 As described above, the optical coupling device of the present invention can extract light from the light source unit disposed on the opto-electric hybrid board to the optical fiber, and can also extract part of the light to the monitoring light-detecting diode on the photoelectric hybrid board to detect The resulting light characteristics.

The wafer 224 can control the vertical cavity surface-emitting laser generator to superimpose or modulate the information to be transmitted onto the generated laser light.
光電混合板2進一步包含光耦合裝置24,其係設置於電路基板20之背面202。光耦合裝置24包含第一光波導結構240、連接光波導結構242以及第二光波導結構244,此三者的折射率相同並且大於周邊環境(例如空氣)的折射率。第一光波導結構240設置於電路基板20 之背面202,並且一端連接第一穿孔204,使光源單元220所產生之光線能直接入射第一光波導結構240。第一光波導結構240於連接第一穿孔204之一端包含第一斜面2400,於實務中,第一斜面2400可與電路基板20之背面202之間呈45°夾角,並且由於第一光波導結構240之折射率大於環境折射率,由第一穿孔204入射而來之光線會被第一斜面2400全反射而於第一光波導結構240內行進,如圖二之光線路徑L1所示。第一光波導結構240之另一端可接近光纖之光線接收端(未繪示於圖中),因此,受到第一斜面2400全反射而於第一光波導結構240內行進之光線最後會到達光纖之光線接收端。 The optoelectronic hybrid panel 2 further includes an optical coupling device 24 disposed on the back surface 202 of the circuit substrate 20. The optical coupling device 24 includes a first optical waveguide structure 240, a connecting optical waveguide structure 242, and a second optical waveguide structure 244, all of which have the same refractive index and greater than the refractive index of the surrounding environment (e.g., air). The first optical waveguide structure 240 is disposed on the circuit substrate 20 The back surface 202 is connected to the first through hole 204 at one end, so that the light generated by the light source unit 220 can be directly incident on the first optical waveguide structure 240. The first optical waveguide structure 240 includes a first inclined surface 2400 at one end of the connection first through hole 204. In practice, the first inclined surface 2400 can be at an angle of 45° with the back surface 202 of the circuit substrate 20, and due to the first optical waveguide structure The refractive index of 240 is greater than the ambient refractive index, and the light incident from the first perforation 204 is totally reflected by the first bevel 2400 to travel within the first optical waveguide structure 240, as shown by the light path L1 of FIG. The other end of the first optical waveguide structure 240 can be adjacent to the light receiving end of the optical fiber (not shown in the figure). Therefore, the light that is totally reflected by the first inclined surface 2400 and travels in the first optical waveguide structure 240 finally reaches the optical fiber. The light receiving end.
第一斜面2400上可塗佈一層薄膜層2402,其上具有開口2404可暴露出部分的第一斜面2400。請注意,薄膜層2402之折射率小於第一光波導結構240,使第一斜面2400上覆蓋有薄膜層之部分仍會全反射光線。於另一具體實施例中,薄膜層2402也可為金屬薄膜層。連接光波導結構242可覆蓋於薄膜層2402上,並且透過開口2404接觸第一斜面2400。由於第一光波導結構240與連接光波導結構242的折射率相同,因此當光線抵達第一斜面2400與連接光波導結構242互相接觸之區域時不會被全反射而會穿透入連接光波導結構242,換言之,光源單元220所產生之光線部分被全反射至光纖,另一部分則穿透入連接光波導結構242。於實務中,開口2404可於薄膜層2402形成後再於薄膜層2402上鑽孔形成,而開口2404之尺寸可控制在使進入連接光波導結構242之光線為原光線的一小部分,以避免對輸入至光纖之光線產生影響。於實務中,連接光波導結構242利用填充環氧樹脂的方式形成於薄膜層 2402上並填入開口2404中以接觸第一光波導結構240。 The first bevel 2400 can be coated with a film layer 2402 having an opening 2404 thereon to expose a portion of the first bevel 2400. Please note that the refractive index of the film layer 2402 is smaller than that of the first optical waveguide structure 240, so that the portion of the first slope 2400 covered with the film layer still totally reflects light. In another embodiment, the film layer 2402 can also be a metal film layer. The connecting optical waveguide structure 242 may cover the thin film layer 2402 and contact the first inclined surface 2400 through the opening 2404. Since the first optical waveguide structure 240 and the connecting optical waveguide structure 242 have the same refractive index, when the light reaches the region where the first inclined surface 2400 and the connecting optical waveguide structure 242 are in contact with each other, it is not totally reflected and penetrates into the connecting optical waveguide. The structure 242, in other words, the portion of the light generated by the light source unit 220 is totally reflected to the optical fiber, and the other portion penetrates into the connected optical waveguide structure 242. In practice, the opening 2404 can be formed by drilling a thin film layer 2402 and then being drilled on the thin film layer 2402, and the opening 2404 can be sized to make the light entering the optical waveguide structure 242 a small portion of the original light to avoid It affects the light input to the fiber. In practice, the connecting optical waveguide structure 242 is formed on the thin film layer by filling epoxy resin. 2402 is filled into opening 2404 to contact first optical waveguide structure 240.
第二光波導結構244一端與連接光波導結構242接觸,因此進入連接光波導結構242之光線可進一步地入射至第二光波導結構244中。第二光波導結構224與連接光波導結構242接觸之一端形成第二斜面2440,同樣地,由於第二光波導結構224之折射率大於周邊環境的折射率,當光線行進至第二斜面2440時,會被第二斜面2440全反射而於第二光波導結構244中行進。第二光波導結構244之另一端對準電路基板20之第二穿孔206,並且此端進一步形成第三斜面2442。當光線於第二光波導結構244中行進至第三斜面2442時,會被第三斜面2442全反射而朝第二穿孔206前進。請注意,第二光波導結構244之形狀及第三斜面2442之傾斜角度,可被設計為當第三斜面2442全反射光線後,光線可垂直射出第二光波導結構244,故不會再被第二光波導結構244的其他表面全反射。如圖二所示,光源單元220所產生之光線的部分從薄膜層2402之開口2404進入連接光波導結構242後,便沿著光線路徑L2行進而回到第二穿孔206處。 One end of the second optical waveguide structure 244 is in contact with the connecting optical waveguide structure 242, so that light entering the connecting optical waveguide structure 242 can be further incident into the second optical waveguide structure 244. The second optical waveguide structure 224 and the connecting optical waveguide structure 242 are in contact with one end to form a second inclined surface 2440. Similarly, since the refractive index of the second optical waveguide structure 224 is greater than the refractive index of the surrounding environment, when the light travels to the second inclined surface 2440 It will be totally reflected by the second slope 2440 to travel in the second optical waveguide structure 244. The other end of the second optical waveguide structure 244 is aligned with the second through hole 206 of the circuit substrate 20, and this end further forms a third inclined surface 2442. When the light travels to the third inclined surface 2442 in the second optical waveguide structure 244, it is totally reflected by the third inclined surface 2442 to advance toward the second through hole 206. Please note that the shape of the second optical waveguide structure 244 and the inclination angle of the third inclined surface 2442 can be designed such that when the third inclined surface 2442 totally reflects the light, the light can be perpendicularly emitted from the second optical waveguide structure 244, so that it is no longer The other surfaces of the second optical waveguide structure 244 are totally reflective. As shown in FIG. 2, a portion of the light generated by the light source unit 220 enters the optical waveguide structure 242 from the opening 2404 of the thin film layer 2402, and then travels along the light path L2 to return to the second through hole 206.
從第二光波導結構244射出之光線最後穿過第二穿孔206到達監測用檢光二極體222之受光面而被接收,監測用檢光二極體222可由所接收到之部分光線獲得光源單元220所產生之光線的資訊,例如光通量等。接著,晶片224可根據監測用檢光二極體222所檢測出的光線資訊對光源單元220進行回饋控制,使光源單元220能更有效率且更精確地產生所需之光線。 The light emitted from the second optical waveguide structure 244 is finally received through the second through hole 206 to the light receiving surface of the monitoring light detecting diode 222, and the monitoring light detecting diode 222 can obtain the light source unit 220 from the received partial light. Information about the light produced, such as luminous flux. Then, the wafer 224 can perform feedback control on the light source unit 220 according to the light information detected by the monitoring light-detecting diode 222, so that the light source unit 220 can generate the required light more efficiently and accurately.
綜上所述,本發明之光耦合裝置可藉由第一光波導結 構、連接光波導結構以及第二光波導結構之結構配置,將光電混合板上之光電轉換器的光源單元(例如垂直共振腔面射型雷射產生器)所產生的光線導至光纖處,並擷取出部分的光線導至監測用檢光二極體來獲得光線資訊,藉以進行回饋控制。此外,利用本發明之光耦合裝置的光電混合板,其整體體積降低,有利於空間利用。 In summary, the optical coupling device of the present invention can be coupled by a first optical waveguide Constructing, connecting the optical waveguide structure and the structural configuration of the second optical waveguide structure, and guiding the light generated by the light source unit of the photoelectric converter on the photoelectric hybrid board (for example, the vertical cavity surface-emitting laser generator) to the optical fiber, And the part of the light is taken out to the monitoring light-detecting diode to obtain the light information, thereby performing feedback control. Further, the opto-electric hybrid board using the optical coupling device of the present invention has a reduced overall volume, which is advantageous for space utilization.
本發明還可提供另一種光電混合板及光耦合裝置來達到前述具體實施例之效果。請參閱圖三,圖三係繪示根據本發明之另一具體實施例之光電混合板3的示意圖。如圖三所示,光電混合板3包含電路基板30,而電路基板30具有功能面300、相對於功能面300之背面302、以及穿孔304,其中穿孔304穿透電路基板20的本體。 The present invention can also provide another opto-electric hybrid board and optical coupling device to achieve the effects of the foregoing specific embodiments. Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a photoelectric hybrid panel 3 according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the optoelectronic hybrid board 3 includes a circuit substrate 30 having a functional surface 300, a back surface 302 opposite the functional surface 300, and a through hole 304, wherein the through hole 304 penetrates the body of the circuit substrate 20.
除了電路基板30之外,光電混合板3還包含光電轉換器32設置於電路基板30之功能面300上。光電轉換器32可包含光源單元320以及連接光源單元320之晶片322,其中晶片322可控制光源單元320發出帶有資訊之光線,詳言之,晶片322可接收電訊號並將電訊號內所帶有的資訊進行疊加或調變至光源單元320所發出之光線中。光源單元320設置於電路基板30之穿孔304上,且其出光口面對穿孔304,故光源單元320所發出之光線可穿過穿孔304至電路基板30的另一側。 In addition to the circuit substrate 30, the opto-electric hybrid board 3 further includes a photoelectric converter 32 disposed on the functional surface 300 of the circuit substrate 30. The photoelectric converter 32 can include a light source unit 320 and a wafer 322 connected to the light source unit 320. The wafer 322 can control the light source unit 320 to emit light with information. In detail, the wafer 322 can receive the electrical signal and carry the electrical signal. Some information is superimposed or modulated into the light emitted by the light source unit 320. The light source unit 320 is disposed on the through hole 304 of the circuit substrate 30, and the light exiting opening faces the through hole 304. Therefore, the light emitted by the light source unit 320 can pass through the through hole 304 to the other side of the circuit substrate 30.
光電混合板3進一步包含光波導結構34,其係設置於電路基板30之背面302上,而光波導結構34的一端連接穿孔304使得光源單元320所發出之光線於穿過穿孔304後入射光波導結構34,此外,光波導結構34之另一端接近或連接光纖之光線接收端。請注意,雖然本具體實施例之光波導結構34位於背面302上,但實務中並不限定非得接 觸背面302,只要光波導結構34以垂直面來接收光線即可。光波導結構34連接穿孔304之一端具有斜面340,且斜面340上塗佈薄膜層342,此外,薄膜層342具有開口344使部分的斜面340暴露出來。 The optoelectronic hybrid board 3 further includes an optical waveguide structure 34 disposed on the back surface 302 of the circuit substrate 30, and one end of the optical waveguide structure 34 is connected to the through hole 304 so that the light emitted by the light source unit 320 passes through the through hole 304 and enters the optical waveguide. Structure 34, in addition, the other end of optical waveguide structure 34 is adjacent to or connected to the light receiving end of the fiber. Please note that although the optical waveguide structure 34 of the present embodiment is located on the back surface 302, it is not limited in practice. The back surface 302 is touched as long as the optical waveguide structure 34 receives light in a vertical plane. One end of the optical waveguide structure 34 connecting the through holes 304 has a slope 340, and the film layer 342 is coated on the slope 340. Further, the film layer 342 has an opening 344 to expose a portion of the slope 340.
光電混合板3進一步包含連接光波導結構36,其覆蓋於薄膜層342上並透過開口344與斜面340直接接觸,其中連接光波導結構36與光波導結構34具有大致上相同的折射率,而此折射率大於周邊環境的折射率。因此,當光源單元320所發出之光線進入光波導結構34後,一部分光線接觸到被薄膜層342所覆蓋之斜面340時,會被斜面340全反射而於光波導結構34中朝向光纖前進。當光線的另一部分接觸到未被薄膜層342所覆蓋之斜面340(亦即,從開口344暴露出的斜面340)時,由於連接光波導結構36與光波導結構34的折射率大致上相同,故此部分光線並不會被全反射,而將會穿過開口344入射至連接光波導結構36中。接著,再由連接光波導結構36之一個垂直面射出。 The optoelectronic hybrid panel 3 further includes a connection optical waveguide structure 36 overlying the thin film layer 342 and in direct contact with the slope 340 through the opening 344, wherein the connection optical waveguide structure 36 has substantially the same refractive index as the optical waveguide structure 34, and this The refractive index is greater than the refractive index of the surrounding environment. Therefore, when the light emitted by the light source unit 320 enters the optical waveguide structure 34, a part of the light contacts the inclined surface 340 covered by the thin film layer 342, and is totally reflected by the inclined surface 340 to advance toward the optical fiber in the optical waveguide structure 34. When another portion of the light contacts the slope 340 that is not covered by the film layer 342 (i.e., the slope 340 exposed from the opening 344), since the refractive index of the connecting optical waveguide structure 36 and the optical waveguide structure 34 are substantially the same, Therefore, part of the light is not totally reflected, but will enter the connecting optical waveguide structure 36 through the opening 344. Then, it is emitted from a vertical plane connecting the optical waveguide structures 36.
光電混合板3還進一步包含監控用檢光二極體38,其係相對於連接光波導結構36而設置。監控用檢光二極體38的受光面380面對連接光波導結構36以及開口344,因此從開口344進入連接光波導結構36並從連接光波導結構36射出之光線,可被監控用檢光二極體36的受光面360所接收。實務中監控用檢光二極體36可檢測所接收到之光線特性,且監控用檢光二極體36可進一步地與光電轉換器32電性連接,以將檢測到的光線特性傳送給光電轉換器32來進行回饋控制。因此,本具體實施例之光電混合板3可擷取出部分的光線導至監測用檢光二極體來獲得光線資訊,藉以進行回饋控制。 The optoelectronic hybrid panel 3 further includes a monitoring photodiode 38 that is disposed relative to the optical waveguide structure 36. The light-receiving surface 380 of the monitoring light-receiving diode 38 faces the optical waveguide structure 36 and the opening 344, and thus enters the optical waveguide structure 36 from the opening 344 and emits light from the optical waveguide structure 36, and can be monitored for the detection diode. The light receiving surface 360 of the body 36 is received. In practice, the monitoring light-detecting diode 36 can detect the received light characteristic, and the monitoring light-detecting diode 36 can be further electrically connected to the photoelectric converter 32 to transmit the detected light characteristic to the photoelectric converter. 32 to carry out feedback control. Therefore, the photoelectric hybrid panel 3 of the present embodiment can guide the light to the monitoring light-emitting diode to obtain light information, thereby performing feedback control.
藉由以上較佳具體實施例之詳述,係希望能更加清楚描述本發明之特徵與精神,而並非以上述所揭露的較佳具體實施例來對本發明之範疇加以限制。相反地,其目的是希望能涵蓋各種改變及具相等性的安排於本發明所欲申請之專利範圍的範疇內。 The features and spirit of the present invention will be more apparent from the detailed description of the preferred embodiments. On the contrary, the intention is to cover various modifications and equivalents within the scope of the invention as claimed.
