Abstract
Description
そして、電気伝送方式は伝送速度や伝送損失等の観点から限界を迎えつつあるため、光伝送を利用した光インターコネクション方式による信号伝送が実用化されている。光インターコネクション方式は、電気伝送方式に比較して遙かに広帯域な信号伝送を行うことが可能であるとともに、小型かつ低消費電力の光モジュールを使用した信号伝送システムを構築できるという利点がある。
ここで、光モジュールに用いられる発光素子としては、VCSEL(Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser:垂直共振器面発光レーザ)等がある。
また例えば、光モジュールを電気基板に実装する技術として、非特許文献1に記載の技術が提案されている。非特許文献1に記載の技術は、MEG-Array(登録商標)と呼ばれる高密度コネクタを光モジュール本体及び電気基板の両方に設け、コネクタを嵌合させることにより実装するものである。この場合、光モジュールとコネクタの間、コネクタと電気基板の間が半田付けにより接着される。
しかしながら、光モジュールに極めて高い信頼性を要求すると、光モジュールの生産における歩留まりが著しく低下することとなり、コスト低減が困難になる。
また、電気基板の仕様が変更される場合や、グレードアップした光モジュールを使用したい場合も同様に、光モジュールが実装された電気基板ごと交換することとなる。
このように、従来の光モジュールの実装技術では、正常な光モジュールや電気基板等のモジュール資産を有効利用できないため、損害が大きくなる。
さらに、非特許文献1に記載の技術では、MEG-Arrayコネクタを嵌合することにより電気基板に光モジュールを実装するため、コネクタ部における線路長を短くすることは困難であり(例えば、コネクタ嵌合ピン長は3mm程度、実装のためのBGA半田ボールを含めると4mm程度となる)、伝送損失やクロストーク等の特性を悪化させる要因となる虞がある。また、所定高さのコネクタ部を有するため、光モジュールの小型化を図る上でも不利である。
光導波路と光結合する光素子を備えた光モジュールを、電気基板に実装するための光モジュール取付ユニットであって、
前記電気基板と前記光モジュールを電気的に接続する電気接続部と、前記光モジュールを収容する収容部と、を備え、前記電気基板の電気接続端子と前記電気接続部が接続されように前記電気基板に取り付けられるモジュール収容体と、
前記モジュール収容体において、前記電気接続部に前記光モジュールの電気接続端子が接触した状態を保持するための固定手段と、
を備えて構成され、
前記光モジュールを前記収容部に収容し、前記固定手段により着脱自在に固定するとともに、前記光モジュールを固定した状態において前記光導波路と前記光素子との光接合が可能となっていることを特徴とする。
前記収容部は、底壁及び側壁により形成される空間であり、
前記電気接続部は、前記底壁下面に配置される前記電気基板の電気接続端子と、前記底壁上面に配置される前記光モジュールの前記電気接続端子とを、前記底壁を介して電気的に接続することを特徴とする。
前記押さえ部材は、前記光モジュールの表面を前記電気基板側に押圧することを特徴とする。
前記第1コンタクト部と前記第2コンタクト部の間に、前記固定手段により前記光モジュールが前記電気基板側に押圧されたときに、前記光モジュール及び前記モジュール収容体を前記電気基板から離間する方向に付勢する付勢手段を有することを特徴とする。
本実施形態では、コンピュータ等のシステム装置の電気基板(ボード)間において光インターコネクションを実現する際に、本発明に係る光モジュール取付ユニットを使用して、電気基板に光モジュールを実装する場合について説明する。この場合、システム装置の小型化には、電気基板に対して垂直方向の空間は小さい方が望ましいため、光モジュールに光接続される光導波路は、電気基板に対して平行に配線されるようにしている。
図1~3に示すように、本実施形態の光モジュール取付ユニット100は、ソケット1と押さえ部材2とで構成されており、この光モジュール取付ユニット100の内部(ソケット1の収容部14)に光モジュール3が収容されている。
そして、光モジュール3を収容した光モジュール取付ユニット100が電気基板5に取り付けられることにより、光モジュール3は電気基板5に実装される。また、光モジュール3に立設されたガイドピン6に光コネクタ4が装着されることにより、光モジュール3の光素子32と光コネクタ4の光ファイバリボン41は光結合可能となる。
電気接続端子を介してドライバIC33に電気信号が入力されると、ドライバIC33から駆動信号(電気信号)が出力され、発光素子32はこの駆動信号に基づいて発光する。このとき、光の出射方向は電気基板5に対して垂直な方向となる。
ケースカバー35のフェルール31に対応する領域には開口部35aが形成され、フェルール31の光出射面はこの開口部35aから外部に露出される。また、フェルール31の光出射面には、ガイドピン6を立設するガイドピン孔31a,31aが形成されている。
なお、貫通孔52の周縁には、電気基板5のメタルランドパターン54が形成されており、電気接続端子51のランドパターンと同じ高さとなっている。これにより、後述するソケット1のコンタクトピンの長さを短くできるので、インダクタンスを小さくでき、高周波動作特性には好ましい。
本実施形態では、図2に示すように、光ファイバリボン41として、曲げ部41aを有する90度曲げファイバを利用している。なお、90度曲げファイバではなく、反射ミラーを用いて、光モジュール3から出射された光の光路を直角に変換し、電気基板5と平行に配設された光ファイバリボン41に光を導く構造としてもよい。
光導波路取付部品43に光ファイバリボン41を収納することで、光ファイバリボン41が保護されるとともに、光ファイバリボン41の曲げ角度(90度)が保持される。
また、MEG-Arrayコネクタを使用した場合の線路長(例えば、3~4mm程度)に比較して、電気接続部13の線路長を短くできる(例えば、1.2mm以下)。
したがって、ソケット1の電気接続部13により、伝送損失やクロストークを低減でき、特性改善を図ることができる。
これにより、光モジュール3はソケット1に嵌合された状態で載置されることとなるので、安定した固定状態を容易に保持することができる。
また、押さえ部材2の上面は平面部22とされ、放熱手段(ヒートシンク)を載置可能となっている。これにより、光モジュール3で生じた熱を、さらに効率よく外部に放出することができる。
なお、押さえ部材2の平面部22にヒートシンクを載置する代わりに、押さえ部材2の上面を放熱構造(例えば、フィン構造)とすることで、押さえ部材2自身がヒートシンクとなるようにしてもよい。
これにより、光コネクタ4を光モジュール3に装着したときに、電気基板5に対して垂直方向に光コネクタ4が突出するのを回避できるので、システム装置の小型化に有効である。
図5~図8は、光モジュール3の実装過程の一例を示す説明図である。なお、図7,8では、内部状態を視認できるように押さえ部材を透視して表現している。
図5に示す状態では、ソケット1の底壁11の下面から突出する第2コンタクトピンは、電気基板5に配設された所定の電気接続端子51と接触し、ネジ留めによる押圧力に伴って付勢部材が収縮することにより内部に押し込められている。
図6に示す状態では、ソケット1の底壁11の上面から突出する第1コンタクトピン13aは、光モジュール3の電気接続端子(図示略)と接触している。
図7に示す状態では、ソケット1に載置されていた光モジュール3はネジ留めによる押圧力を受け、ソケット1側に圧接される。また、ソケット1の第1コンタクトピン13aは、ネジ留めによる押圧力に伴って付勢部材が収縮することにより内部に押し込められる。
このように、本実施形態では、押さえ部材2は、ソケット1において、電気接続部13に光モジュール3の電気接続端子(図示略)が接触した状態を保持するための固定手段として機能する。
図8に示す状態では、光モジュール3と光コネクタ4とが位置合わせされた状態で固定され、光モジュール3の光素子32と光コネクタ4の光ファイバリボン41は光結合可能となっている。したがって、光モジュール3からの出射光は、光コネクタ4の光ファイバリボン41内を伝播することとなる。
さらに、利用者の必要スペック(伝送必要容量)に応じて光モジュールの実装数を容易に増減できるので、部品の共通化とコストダウン化を図ることができる。
このように、本実施形態に係る光モジュール取付ユニット100によれば、正常な光モジュールや電気基板等のモジュール資産を有効利用することができるので、従来のように電気基板ごと交換することにより多大な損害が生じるのを回避できる。
上記実施形態では、押さえ部材2により光モジュール3をソケット1に押圧することで光モジュール3を固定するようにしているが、その他の固定手段により光モジュールを固定するようにしてもよい。例えば、光モジュール3をネジ留めによりソケット1に締着したり、ソケット1に直接押さえバネ等を設けたりしてもよい。
すなわち、本発明の本質は、電気基板5に装着されたソケット1に光モジュール3を固定することにより、光モジュール3を電気基板5に対して着脱自在に実装することであり、光モジュール3のソケット1への固定方法については特に制限されない。
また、上記実施形態では、電気基板5にソケット1を固定した後で、ソケット1に光モジュール3を載置し、押さえ部材2で固定するようにしているが、光モジュール取付ユニット100に光モジュール3を装着して、光モジュール取付ユニット100と光モジュール3を一体とした後、これを電気基板5に取り付けるようにしてもよい。すなわち、市場に流通する光モジュール製品として、光モジュール3に光モジュール取付ユニット100を付けた形態が想定される。
また、上記実施形態では、押さえ部材2は光モジュール3の表面をほぼ全面で押圧するように、開口部21を囲繞する形状となっているが、光コネクタ収容部24を切り欠いて平面視コ字状に形成するようにしてもよい。押さえ部材2をこのような形状とすれば、光モジュール3に光コネクタ4を取り付けた後で、押さえ部材2を取り付けることができる。
例えば、導電性の板バネや、導電性の繊維質を圧縮したものを利用できる。また例えば、上板11aと下板11bとの間に両面に金属膜を形成した電気基板を介在させ、この電気基板にリソグラフィ技術等を利用してコイルバネを形成したものを利用できる。
