具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本公开一些实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开所提供的实施例,本领域普通技术人员所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
除非上下文另有要求,否则,在整个说明书和权利要求书中,术语“包括(comprise)”及其其他形式例如第三人称单数形式“包括(comprises)”和现在分词形式“包括(comprising)”被解释为开放、包含的意思,即为“包含,但不限于”。在说明书的描述中,术语“一个实施例(one embodiment)”、“一些实施例(some embodiments)”、“示例性实施例(exemplary embodiments)”、“示例(example)”、“特定示例(specific example)”或“一些示例(some examples)”等旨在表明与该实施例或示例相关的特定特征、结构、材料或特性包括在本公开的至少一个实施例或示例中。上述术语的示意性表示不一定是指同一实施例或示例。此外,所述的特定特征、结构、材料或特点可以以任何适当方式包括在任何一个或多个实施例或示例中。
以下,术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在本公开实施例的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
在描述一些实施例时,可能使用了“耦接”和“连接”及其衍伸的表达。例如,描述一些实施例时可能使用了术语“连接”以表明两个或两个以上部件彼此间有直接物理接触或电接触。又如,描述一些实施例时可能使用了术语“耦接”以表明两个或两个以上部件有直接物理接触或电接触。然而,术语“耦接”或“通信耦合(communicatively coupled)”也可能指两个或两个以上部件彼此间并无直接接触,但仍彼此协作或相互作用。这里所公开的实施例并不必然限制于本文内容。
“A、B和C中的至少一个”与“A、B或C中的至少一个”具有相同含义,均包括以下A、B和C的组合:仅A,仅B,仅C,A和B的组合,A和C的组合,B和C的组合,及A、B和C的组合。
“A和/或B”,包括以下三种组合:仅A,仅B,及A和B的组合。
本文中“适用于”或“被配置为”的使用意味着开放和包容性的语言,其不排除适用于或被配置为执行额外任务或步骤的设备。
如本文所使用的那样,“约”、“大致”或“近似”包括所阐述的值以及处于特定值的可接受偏差范围内的平均值,其中所述可接受偏差范围如由本领域普通技术人员考虑到正在讨论的测量以及与特定量的测量相关的误差(即,测量系统的局限性)所确定。
在光通信技术中,为了在信息处理设备之间建立信息传递,需要将信息加载到光上,利用光的传播实现信息的传递。这里,加载有信息的光就是光信号。光信号在信息传输设备中传输时可以减少光功率的损耗,因此可以实现高速度、远距离、低成本的信息传递。信息处理设备能够识别和处理的信号是电信号。信息处理设备通常包括光网络终端(Optical Network Unit,ONU)、网关、路由器、交换机、手机、计算机、服务器、平板电脑、电视机等,信息传输设备通常包括光纤及光波导等。
光模块可以实现信息处理设备与信息传输设备之间的光信号与电信号的相互转换。例如,光模块的光信号输入端或光信号输出端中的至少一个连接有光纤,光模块的电信号输入端或电信号输出端中的至少一个连接有光网络终端;来自光纤的第一光信号传输至光模块,光模块将该第一光信号转换为第一电信号,并将该第一电信号传输至光网络终端;来自光网络终端的第二电信号传输至光模块,光模块将该第二电信号转换为第二光信号,并将该第二光信号传输至光纤。由于多个信息处理设备之间可以通过电信号进行信息传输,因此,需要多个信息处理设备中的至少一个信息处理设备直接与光模块连接,而无需所有的信息处理设备直接与光模块连接。这里,直接连接光模块的信息处理设备被称为光模块的上位机。另外,光模块的光信号输入端或光信号输出端可被称为光口,光模块的电信号输入端或电信号输出端可被称为电口。
图1为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种光通信系统的部分结构图。如图1所示,光通信系统主要包括远端信息处理设备1000、本地信息处理设备2000、上位机100、光模块200、光纤101以及网线103。
光纤101的一端向远端信息处理设备1000的方向延伸,且光纤101的另一端通过光模块200的光口与光模块200连接。光信号可以在光纤101中全反射,且光信号在全反射方向上的传播几乎可以维持原有光功率,光 信号在光纤101中发生多次的全反射,以将来自远端信息处理设备1000的光信号传输至光模块200中,或将来自光模块200的光信号传输至远端信息处理设备1000,从而实现远距离、低功率损耗的信息传递。
光通信系统可以包括一根或多根光纤101,且光纤101与光模块200可拆卸连接,或固定连接。上位机100被配置为向光模块200提供数据信号,或从光模块200接收数据信号,或对光模块200的工作状态进行监测或控制。
上位机100包括大致呈长方体的壳体(housing),以及设置在该壳体上的光模块接口102。光模块接口102被配置为接入光模块200,以使上位机100与光模块200建立单向或双向的电信号连接。
上位机100还包括对外电接口,该对外电接口可以接入电信号网络。例如,该对外电接口包括通用串行总线接口(Universal Serial Bus,USB)或网线接口104,网线接口104被配置为接入网线103,以使上位机100与网线103建立单向或双向的电信号连接。网线103的一端连接本地信息处理设备2000,且网线103的另一端连接上位机100,以通过网线103在本地信息处理设备2000与上位机100之间建立电信号连接。例如,本地信息处理设备2000发出的第三电信号通过网线103传入上位机100,上位机100根据该第三电信号生成第二电信号,来自上位机100的该第二电信号传输至光模块200,光模块200将该第二电信号转换为第二光信号,并将该第二光信号传输至光纤101,该第二光信号在光纤101中传输至远端信息处理设备1000。例如,来自远端信息处理设备1000的第一光信号通过光纤101传播,来自光纤101的第一光信号传输至光模块200,光模块200将该第一光信号转换为第一电信号,光模块200将该第一电信号传输至上位机100,上位机100根据该第一电信号生成第四电信号,并将该第四电信号传入本地信息处理设备2000。需要说明的是,光模块是实现光信号与电信号相互转换的工具,在上述光信号与电信号的转换过程中,信息并未发生变化,信息的编码和解码方式可以发生变化。
上位机100除了包括光网络终端之外,还包括光线路终端(Optical Line Terminal,OLT)、光网络设备(Optical Network Terminal,ONT)、或数据中心服务器等。
图2为根据一些实施例的一种上位机的局部结构图。为了清楚地显示光模块200与上位机100的连接关系,图2仅示出了上位机100的与光模块200相关的结构。如图2所示,上位机100还包括设置于壳体内的PCB电路板105、设置在PCB电路板105的表面的笼子106、设置于笼子106上的散热器107、以及设置于笼子106内部的电连接器。该电连接器被配置为接入光模块200的电口;散热器107具有增大散热面积的翅片等凸起结构。
光模块200插入上位机100的笼子106中,由笼子106固定光模块200,光模块200产生的热量传导给笼子106,然后通过散热器107进行扩散。光模块200插入笼子106中后,光模块200的电口与笼子106内部的电连接器连接,从而使光模块200与上位机100建立双向的电信号连接。此外,光模块200的光口与光纤101连接,从而使得光模块200与光纤101建立双向的光信号连接。
图3为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种光模块的结构图,图4为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种光模块的分解图。如图3和4所示,光模块200包括壳体(shell),设置于壳体内的电路板300和透镜组件400。
壳体包括上壳体201和下壳体202,上壳体201盖合在下壳体202上,以形成具有两个开口203和204的上述壳体;壳体的外轮廓一般呈现方形体。
在一些实施例中,下壳体202包括底板2021以及位于底板2021两侧、与底板2021垂直设置的两个下侧板2022;上壳体201包括盖板2011,盖板2011盖合在下壳体202的两个下侧板2022上,以形成上述壳体。
在一些实施例中,下壳体202包括底板2021以及位于底板2021两侧、与底板2021垂直设置的两个下侧板2022;上壳体201包括盖板2011,以及位于盖板2011两侧、与盖板2011垂直设置的两个上侧板,由两个上侧板与两个下侧板2022结合,以实现上壳体201盖合在下壳体202上。
两个开口203和204的连线所在的方向可以与光模块200的长度方向一致,也可以与光模块200的长度方向不一致。例如,开口203位于光模块200的端部(图3的左端),开口204也位于光模块200的端部(图3的右端)。或者,开口203位于光模块200的端部,而开口204则位于光模块200的侧部。开口203为电口,电路板300的金手指从电口伸出,插入上位机(例如,光网络终端100)中;开口204为光口,被配置为接入光纤101,以使光纤101连接光模块200中。
采用上壳体201、下壳体202结合的装配方式,便于将电路板300、透镜组件400等组件安装到壳体中,由上壳体201、下壳体202对这些器件形成封装保护。此外,在装配电路板300、透镜组件400等组件时,便于这些器件的定位部件、散热部件以及电磁屏蔽部件的部署,有利于自动化地实施生产。
在一些实施例中,上壳体201及下壳体202采用金属材料制成,利于实现电磁屏蔽以及散热。
在一些实施例中,光模块200还包括位于其壳体外部的解锁部件600,解锁部件600被配置为实现光模块200与上位机之间的固定连接,或解除光模块200与上位机之间的固定连接。
例如,解锁部件600位于下壳体202的两个下侧板2022的外侧,包括与上位机100的笼子106匹配的卡合部件。当光模块200插入笼子106中时,由解锁部件600的卡合部件将光模块200固定在笼子106中;拉动解锁部件600时,解锁部件600的卡合部件随之移动,从而改变卡合部件与上位机的连接关系,以解除光模块200与上位机的固定,从而可以将光模块200从笼子106中抽出。
电路板300包括电路走线、电子元件及芯片,通过电路走线将电子元件和芯片按照电路设计连接在一起,以实现供电、电信号传输及接地等功能。电子元件例如包括电容、电阻、三极管、金属氧化物半导体场效应管(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor,MOSFET)。芯片例如包括激光器、光电探测器、微控制单元(Microcontroller Unit,MCU)、激光驱动芯片、限幅放大器(Limiting Ampl ifier,LA)、时钟数据恢复(Clock and Data Recovery,CDR)芯片、电源管理芯片、数字信号处理(Digital Signal  Processing,DSP)芯片。
电路板300一般为硬性电路板,硬性电路板由于其相对坚硬的材质,还可以实现承载作用,如硬性电路板可以平稳地承载上述电子元件和芯片;硬性电路板还可以插入上位机100的笼子106中的电连接器中。
电路板300还包括形成在其端部表面的金手指,金手指由相互独立的多个引脚组成。电路板300插入笼子106中,由金手指与笼子106内的电连接器导通。金手指可以仅设置在电路板300一侧的表面(例如图4所示的上表面),也可以设置在电路板300上下两侧的表面,以提供更多数量的引脚,从而适应引脚数量需求大的场合。金手指被配置为与上位机建立电连接,以实现供电、接地、二线制同步串行(Inter-Integrated Circuit,I2C)信号传递、数据信号传递等。当然,部分光模块中也会使用柔性电路板。柔性电路板一般与硬性电路板配合使用,以作为硬性电路板的补充。
在一些实施例中,透镜组件400连接电路板300并罩射在光发射芯片和/或光接收芯片上方;透镜组件400上具有透射面、反射面,以通过透射面和反射面组合调整发射光信号和/或接收光信号的传输方向,使光发射芯片产生的发射光信号能够从光模块输出、以及输入光模块的光信号能够传输至光接收芯片。光发射芯片如激光器,光接收芯片如光电探测器。透镜组件400下方不局限于设置光发射芯片和/或光接收芯片,还可以设置光电监测部件、驱动芯片等。
在一些实施例中,光模块200中包括一个透镜组件400,透镜组件400罩射在光发射芯片和光接收芯片上,用于调整发射光信号和接收光信号的传输方向。当然在一些实施例中,光模块200中透镜组件400的个数不局限于一个,还可以包括两个透镜组件400,每个透镜组件400的下方设置光发射芯片和/或光接收芯片。
在一些实施例中,透镜组件400设置在电路板300的端部,如靠近光口的位置;但本公开一些实施例不局限于将透镜组件400设置在电路板300的端部,还可以将透镜组件400设置在电路板300的中部。
图5为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种透镜组件与电路板的装配示意图。在一些实施例中,如图5所示,透镜组件400包括第一光纤适配器410、第二光纤适配器420和透镜组件本体430。第一光纤适配器410连接透镜组件本体430的第一端的一侧,第二光纤适配器420连接透镜组件本体430的第一端的另一侧,即第一光纤适配器410和第二光纤适配器420并排设置在透镜组件本体430的第一端。第一光纤适配器410和第二光纤适配器420分别被配置为连接光纤101,以向光纤101传输发射光信号或向透镜组件本体430传输接收光信号。示例性的,第一光纤适配器410被配置为向光纤101传输发射光信号,第二光纤适配器420被配置为向光纤101传输接收光信号。当然在一些实施例中,透镜组件400上设置一个光纤适配器,光模块200内设置两个透镜组件400。
在一些实施例中,第一光纤适配器410的光轴线和第二光纤适配器420的光轴线之间的间距为预设值,如第一光纤适配器410的光轴线和第二光纤适配器420的光轴线之间的间距L为6.25mm。即使光模块200内设置两个透镜组件400,两个透镜组件400上光纤适配器的光轴线之间的距离也应为固定值。
图6为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种电路板的局部结构示意图。在一些实施例中,如图6所示,电路板300的顶面设置有光发射芯片310和光接收芯片320,光发射芯片310的中心位于第一光纤适配器410的光轴线在电路板300的顶面的投影直线上,光接收芯片320的中心位于第二光纤适配器420的光轴线在电路板300的顶面的投影直线上,使光发射芯片310的中心和光接收芯片320的中心之间的距离为预设值。需要说明的,光发射芯片310的中心主要指有效发光面的中心,光接收芯片320的中心主要指有效探测面的中心。
在一些实施例中,光发射芯片310和光接收芯片320需要共用驱动芯片,且驱动芯片的长度小于间距L,而为了保证信号传输的性能,光发射芯片310与驱动芯片之间打线以及光接收芯片320驱动芯片之间的打线不可过长,如需控制在0.1mm以内等,因此导致光发射芯片310的中心和光接收芯片320的中心之间的距离需要小于间距L。
在一些实施例中,即使光发射芯片310和光接收芯片320不共用驱动芯片,为了方便其他器件的布局设置,也需要缩小光发射芯片310的中心和光接收芯片320的中心之间距离至小于间距L。为了满足光发射芯片310的中心和光接收芯片320的中心之间的距离小于间距L,本申请实施例中提供了一种透镜组件。
图7为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种透镜组件与电路板的分解示意图。如图7所示,电路板300上设置光发射芯片310和光接收芯片320,光发射芯片310的中心和光接收芯片320中心的距离小于间距L,透镜组件400设置在光发射芯片310和光接收芯片320上方。示例性的,透镜组件400的底部连接电路板300,透镜组件400的底部与电路板300的表面形成容纳腔,光发射芯片310和光接收芯片320位于容纳腔中。透镜组件400不仅能够调整光发射芯片310发射光信号和光接收芯片320接收光信号的传输方向,还能保护光发射芯片310和光接收芯片320。
