Description
- The present invention relates to the field of optical communication, and more particularly to an integrated optical assembly structure with an isolator, and a processing method therefor.
- In recent years, with the increasing speed of data transmission, the traditional telecommunication is unable to meet the transmission needs in various fields. Optical communication technology makes up for the shortcomings of the traditional telecommunication technology, such as short transmission distance, large energy consumption, and slow transmission speed, so it is widely used in various data transmission. In an optical communication module, when light from a light source, such as a laser, passes through various optical components or optical fibers (or comes out from optical components or optical fibers), part of the light will be reflected or scattered at the end or inside of the various optical components or optical fibers. When the reflected or refracted light returns through the original path, it will interfere with the optical signal and affect the signal quality and stability of the optical communication. Therefore, the isolator in an optical module becomes an indispensable part of optical communication.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , a conventional optical assembly comprises afront metal cover 1, aceramic sleeve 2, afirst pressing block 3, a secondpressing block 4, aceramic plug core 5, anouter ring 6, and anisolator chip 7. Theisolator 7 is a polarization-dependent free space isolator (FSI), and its structure is shown inFIG. 2 . Theisolator 7 is composed of amagnetic ring 71 and anisolator chip 72 installed in themagnetic ring 71. Theisolator chip 72 is composed of a Faradayrotator 722, apolarizer 721 disposed on one side of the Faradayrotator 722 where light is incident, and ananalyzer 723 disposed on the other side of the Faradayrotator 722. When the Faradayrotator 722 is located in the magnetic field, the vibration plane of the incident light may be rotated by 45°. Both thepolarizer 721 and theanalyzer 723 are polarizers to filter light outside the target direction, so as to unify the directions of the optical signals incident into the optical assembly to avoid interference. However, the installation of themagnetic ring 71 of the conventional optical assembly needs to cooperate with the second pressingblock 4 through theouter ring 6. The installation of themagnetic ring 71, the cooperation between theisolator chip 72 and themagnetic ring 71, and the installation between the secondpressing block 4 and theouter ring 6 may cause errors. In order to ensure full coverage of the optical path by theisolator chip 72, its area needs to be large enough to cover these installation errors. Therefore, the side length of theisolator chip 72 needs to be about 0.5 mm. (Due to the cutting process, the Faraday rotator is generally a square sheet). The Faraday rotator and polarizer are very expensive. How to reduce the area of the isolator chip to decrease the manufacturing cost of the optical assembly has become an extremely important issue. - In general, the mounting hole of the
magnetic ring 71 for mounting theisolator chip 72 is a round hole, and theisolator chip 72 is cut to have a square shape. During the installation of themagnetic ring 71 and theisolator chip 72, in order to keep the installation angle of theisolator chip 72, several corrections are required, which reduces the assembly efficiency. The circular hole of themagnetic ring 71 may cause theisolator chip 72 to rotate, which increases the assembly difficulty and increases the production cost of the optical assembly greatly. - In order to further reduce the material usage of the optical assembly and reduce the production cost of the optical assembly, the inventor of the present invention has devoted himself based on his many years of practical experiences to solve these problems.
- One of the technical problems to be solved by the present invention is to provide a manufacturing apparatus for delaminating a bamboo into fiber.
- The primary object of the present invention is to provide an integrated optical assembly structure with an isolator and a processing method therefor, so as to improve the installation accuracy of the isolator chip and reduce the area of the isolator chip to decrease the production cost of the optical assembly. Another object of the present invention is to provide a simple and efficient processing method for machining a pressing block. For realizing the above-mentioned objects, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.
- An integrated optical assembly structure with an isolator comprises a front metal cover, a ceramic sleeve, a pressing block, a ceramic plug core, and an isolator chip. The ceramic sleeve is disposed inside the front metal cover and fixed by the pressing block. One end of the ceramic plug core is disposed inside the ceramic sleeve, and another end of the ceramic plug core is fixed in the pressing block. A plug core positioning hole is defined in one end of the pressing block, located adjacent to the front metal cover, for positioning the ceramic plug core. A chip accommodating hole is defined in another end of the pressing block. The plug core positioning hole communicates with the chip accommodating hole. The chip accommodating hole has at least two positioning corners. The isolator chip is composed of a polarizer, a magnetic Faraday rotator and an analyzer. The isolator chip is installed in the chip accommodating hole and positioned by the positioning corners.
- The pressing block includes a first pressing block and a second pressing block. An electrical clearance is defined between the first pressing block and the second pressing block. The first pressing block is fixedly connected to the front metal cover. The plug core positioning hole and the chip accommodating hole are defined in the second pressing block.
- Preferably, the positioning corners are each at a right angle.
- Furthermore, at least two of the positioning corners are arranged diagonally.

- Compared with the prior art, the present invention has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, the present invention utilizes the same pressing block to simultaneously press the ceramic plug core and accommodate the isolator chip, without the outer ring, such that two-step assembly is changed to one-step assembly for installing the isolator chip, thereby improving the assembly accuracy, reducing the area of the isolator chip while ensuring full coverage of an optical path, and reducing the costs of materials greatly. Besides, in the invention, the chip accommodating hole for installing the isolator chip in the pressing block has the positioning corners, so that the positioning of the isolator chip is more accurate when the isolator chip is installed. There is no need to perform complex correction for the isolator chip, which avoids rotation of the isolator chip later on, reduces the assembly difficulty of the isolator chip greatly, reduces the assembly cost, and improves the production efficiency. The invention further provides a processing method for machining the pressing block, with low cost and simple operation, so that the production of the pressing block is more efficient.

The exemplary embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
- Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- Referring to
FIGS. 3 to 7 , an integrated optical assembly structure with an isolator comprises afront metal cover 10, aceramic sleeve 20, apressing block 30, aceramic plug core 40, and anisolator chip 50. - The
ceramic sleeve 20 is disposed inside thefront metal cover 10 and fixed by thepressing block 30. One end of theceramic plug core 40 is disposed inside theceramic sleeve 20, and the other end of theceramic plug core 40 is fixed in thepressing block 30. A plugcore positioning hole 322 is defined in one end of thepressing block 30, located adjacent to thefront metal cover 10, for positioning theceramic plug core 40. A chipaccommodating hole 321 is defined in the other end of thepressing block 30. The plugcore positioning hole 322 communicates with the chipaccommodating hole 321. Theisolator chip 50 is composed of apolarizer 51, amagnetic Faraday rotator 52 and ananalyzer 53. Theisolator chip 50 has magnetism itself. In general, theisolator chip 50 is cut to be in a square shape. Therefore, in order to position theisolator chip 50 precisely when it is installed, to ensure that its installation angle is within the expected range and to prevent theisolator chip 50 from being rotated and offset during and after installation to cause an installation error, the chipaccommodating hole 321 has at least twopositioning corners 321 a for positioning at least two corners of theisolator chip 50, thereby reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly accuracy. - In a preferred embodiment, the
pressing block 30 includes a firstpressing block 31 and a secondpressing block 32. An electrical clearance is defined between the firstpressing block 31 and the secondpressing block 32. The firstpressing block 31 is fixedly connected to thefront metal cover 10. The plugcore positioning hole 322 and the chipaccommodating hole 321 are defined in the secondpressing block 32. - In order to fit the
square isolator chip 50 better, thepositioning corners 321 a are each at a right angle. Further, in order to prevent theisolator chip 50 from being rotated and offset in the installation process, at least two of thepositioning corners 321 a are arranged diagonally. - In order to facilitate processing and to position the
isolator chip 50, the number of thepositioning corners 321 a of the chipaccommodating hole 321 is four, and thepositioning corners 321 a are arranged at four corners of the chipaccommodating hole 321. In this regard, the present invention provides two embodiments to illustrate the shape of the chipaccommodating hole 321. However, the specific shape of the chipaccommodating hole 321 is not limited to the embodiments provided by the present invention. They are just preferred embodiments. Therefore, in actual production, the chipaccommodating hole 321 may be in any shape on the basis of having at least twopositioning corners 321 a. That is, the connection surface of the positioning corners may be a single surface, multiple surfaces, a circular arc surface, or a multi-curved surface. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , the chipaccommodating hole 321 is disposed below thechip positioning hole 322, having a square shape. The four corners of the square are defined as thepositioning corners 321 a. The size of the chipaccommodating hole 321 is slightly greater than that of theisolator chip 50, so that the installation angle of theisolator chip 50 is offset within ±8°. - Error discussion in the first embodiment: comprehensive processing technology and cost. The side length of the chip
accommodating hole 321 is 0.35 mm±0.02 mm Assuming that the chipaccommodating hole 321 is offset to one side by 0.02 mm under the condition of the limit error, 0.02 mm is the one-sided error when theisolator chip 50 is installed because the invention doesn't have theouter ring 6 and themagnetic ring 71 and uses the same pressingblock 30 to simultaneously press theceramic plug core 40 and accommodate theisolator chip 50 when compared with the prior art. - Error analysis of the prior art: The coaxiality error requirement of the
outer ring 6 installed in the secondpressing block 4 of the conventional optical assembly is ⊚0.06 mm. The coaxiality error requirement between the secondpressing block 4 and theceramic plug core 5 is ⊚0.02 mm. If the error of installing theisolator chip 72 in themagnetic ring 71 and themagnetic ring 71 in theouter ring 6 is added, the installation error of theisolator chip 72 may be 0.08 mm on one side. - Comparison of results: The error of the integrated optical assembly structure provided by the present invention is greatly reduced compared with the error of the conventional optical assembly at the laser incident end, so that the offset distance between the center of the isolator and the optical path is reduced, and the side length of the required isolator is reduced to 0.3 mm. Compared with the prior art, the area of the isolator chip is reduced greatly, which reduces the manufacturing cost of the isolator and the assembly difficulty of the optical assembly greatly.
- As shown in
FIG. 7 , the fourpositioning corners 321 a of the chipaccommodating hole 321 are connected through a circular arc surface, that is, the fourpositioning corners 321 a are formed on the basis of a circular hole. The length of the straight side of thepositioning corner 321 a needs to ensure that theisolator chip 50 is still located among the fourpositioning corners 321 a after being rotated by 8°, without touching the circular arc surface. This structure is simple in processing and is easy in positioning, and can reduce the processing difficulty and processing cost of the chipaccommodating hole 321 while ensuring that the installation angle of theisolator chip 50 is offset within ±8°, further improving production efficiency and reducing the production cost of the optical assembly. - Since the pressing block of the present invention is extremely small in size, it is difficult to form the chip
accommodating hole 321 and the plugcore positioning hole 322 in the pressing block to meet the precision requirements. Besides, the output of the optical assembly is usually very large. The production time of a single part determines the production capacity of the optical assembly to a great degree. Therefore, the pressing block needs to be machined efficiently. - For this reason, the present invention further provides a processing method of an integrated optical assembly structure with an isolator, using a dual spindle CNC lathe, so as to solve the problems of low efficiency and low precision in the conventional processing method. The processing method of the present invention comprises the following steps of:
- (Step 1) material preparation: selecting and putting a Φ5.5 round bar material into a dual spindle CNC bar feeder, and cutting ends of the material;

- The feature of the present invention is to use the same pressing block to simultaneously press the ceramic plug core and accommodate the isolator chip, without the outer ring. With the isolator chip having magnetism itself, that two-step assembly is changed to one-step assembly for installing the isolator chip, thereby improving the assembly accuracy, reducing the area of the isolator chip while ensuring full coverage of an optical path, and reducing the costs of materials greatly. Besides, in the invention, the chip accommodating hole for installing the isolator chip in the pressing block has the positioning corners, so that the positioning of the isolator chip is more accurate when the isolator chip is installed, so as to avoid the rotation of the isolator chip later on. There is no need to perform complex correction for the isolator chip. This reduces the assembly difficulty of the isolator chip greatly, reduces the assembly cost, and improves the production efficiency. The invention further provides a processing method of an integrated optical assembly structure with an isolator, using a double-spindle CNC lathe to cooperate with a broach. The entire pressing block is machined by one-time clamping, so the processing efficiency and precision of the optical assembly are improved. It is suitable for large-scale production for the optical assembly.
