为了方便理解本申请实施例提供的光收发组件,下面首先介绍一下其应用场景。
在光电通信系统中的数据传输阶段,数据信息通常以光信号的形式在光纤或波导等介质中进行传输。而在数据处理阶段,由于处理器等使用的是电信号。因此,为了便于对数据信息进行处理,需要将光信号形式的数据信息转化为电信号的形式。光收发组件的主要功能是实现上述光信号和电信号的相互转换,因此,在光电通信系统中,光收发组件的作用尤为重要。
例如,如图1所示,以通信设备为光猫(也称为光调制解调器)为例。在光猫中可以包括壳体01,设置在壳体01内的电路板02、控制器03和光收发组件04等器件。光收发组件04和控制器03可以设置在电路板02上,并与电路板02中的导电线路(图中未示出)电连接,光收发组件04可以通过电路板02中的导电线路与控制器03导电连接,从而实现光收发组件04与控制器03之间电信号的传输。光收发组件04还可以与光纤05进行连接,从而实现光收发组件04与光纤05之间光信号的传输。光收发组件04可以将电信号转换为光信号后输送至光纤05中进行传输,从而可以实现光猫与其他远端设备之间的信号传输。另外,光收发组件04还可以将在光纤05中传输的光信号转换为电信号后输送给控制器03。
在目前的光收发组件04中,通常采用插件式同轴管壳封装架构(transistor-outline,TO),使得光收发组件04的厚度尺寸H较大,制约了通信设备的轻薄化设计。
为此,本申请实施例提供了一种有利于实现轻薄化设计的光收发组件。
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图和具体实施例对本申请作进一步地详细描述。

如图2所示,在本申请提供的一种示例中,光收发组件10可以包括平面结构11、光发射器12、光接收器13、波导结构14和光纤15。平面结构11具有安装面110,可以为光发射器12和光接收器13等器件提供有效的安装位置。另外,平面结构11中具有导电线路(图中未示出),光收发组件10中的一些有源器件(如光发射器12和光接收器13)可以与导电线路导电连接,从而实现有源器件的供电或电信号的传输需求。光发射器12可以将电信号转化为光信号向外传输。光发射器12设置于安装面110,并与导电线路电连接。光接收器13用于接收光信号,并将光信号转化为电信号。波导结构14与光发射器12、光接收器13和光纤15耦合,用于实现光发射器12、光接收器13和光纤15之间光信号的传输。
在本申请提供的光收发组件10中,光发射器12和光接收器13均设置于平面结构11,从而有利于采用平面封装的形式对光收发组件10进行封装,有利于降低光收发组件10的厚度尺寸。例如,采用同轴管壳封装架构(transistor-outline,TO)的光收发组件10中,其厚度尺寸通常大于8mm。在本申请提供的示例中,通过采用平面结构11,可以采用板上芯片(chip on board,COB)封装、扇出封装(fanout,FO)等工艺对光收发组件10进行封装,可明显降低光收发组件10的厚度尺寸(如2mm以下)。
在具体实施时,光收发组件10的具体封装形式、波导结构14的具体类型和设置方式可以是多样的。
例如,如图3所示,在本申请提供的一种示例中,光收发组件10可以采用板上芯片(chip on board,COB)的方式进行封装,波导结构14具体可以包括波导桥。
具体来说,平面结构11具体为基板。其中,基板可以是印制电路板也可以是柔性电路板等。另外,基板可以是多层板也可以是单层板。在实际应用时,可以对基板的类型和结构进行合理选择,本申请对此不作限制。
另外,在本申请提供的示例中,光收发组件10中可以包括光发射器12、透镜16(lens)、分光片17(filter)、光接收器13、光探测器18、跨阻放大器19和光纤15。其中,光发射器12、光接收器13、光探测器18和跨阻放大器19均为有源器件,并与平面结构11中的导电线路电连接,以便于实现电信号的传输。
光发射器12用于接收电信号,并根据所接收到的电信号发射对应功率的光信号,光接收器13可用于接收光信号,并将光信号转化为电信号。在以下的示例中,为了便于对光发射器12发出的光信号和光接收器13接收的光信号进行区分,将光发射器12发出的光信号定义为第一波长的光信号λ1,将光接收器13接收的光信号定义为第二波长的光信号λ2。其中,第一波长和第二波长的具体数值不同。
概括来说,在本申请提供的光收发组件10中,可以利用波分复用技术(wavelength division multiplexing,WDM)在一根光纤15中实现双向信息的传输,可有效节省光纤15资源。
其中,光发射器12可通过波导结构14与光纤15间接耦合,光接收器13可通过波导结构14与光纤15间接耦合。
具体的,光纤15结构包括第一波导桥141和第二波导桥142。第一波导桥141的一端与分光片17耦合,另一端与光纤15的第一端(如图中的左端)耦合。光发射器12可发射第一波长的光信号λ1,第一波长的光信号λ1在空间中传播时,可依次通过透镜16、分光片17、第一波导桥141传输至光纤15中。
光纤15中传播的第二波长的光信号λ2可经第一波导桥141、分光片17和第二波导桥142传输至光接收器13中。
在具体应用时,光发射器12具体可是激光二极管(laser diode,LD),光发射器12可以通过基座101a设置于平面结构11上,以便于将光发射器12固定在所需的位置。光发射器12的出光方向朝向透镜16,使得光发射器12产生的光信号能够经透镜16进行聚焦等处理后传播至分光片17。
其中,分光片17可以使第一波长的光信号λ1有效透射,并对第二波长的光信号λ2进行有效反射。
光探测器18具体可以是监控激光二极管(monitor photo diode,MPD),光探测器18可以通过基座101c设置与平面结构11上。光探测器18设置在光发射器12的后方,可用于接收光发射器12产生的部分(如3%)光信号,可用于对光发射器12的发光功率进行有效监测。另外,光探测器18和光发射器12之间可以通过控制电路进行连接,控制电路可以根据光探测器18所监测到的光功率信息对光发射器12的功率进行有效调整,从而实现对光发射器12的反馈调节,有利于保证光发射器12的功率。
光接收器13具体可以是光电二极管(photo diode,PD),光接收器13可以通过基座101b设置在平面结构11上,并与平面结构11中的导电线路电连接。
跨阻放大器19(trans-impedance amplifier,TIA)可通过平面结构11中的导电线路与光接收器13进行连接,用于对光接收器13的电信号进行放大等处理。
其中,在光探测器18、光发射器12、透镜16和分光片17之间,第一波长的光信号λ1是在空间(如空气介质)中传播的,并且,光探测器18、光发射器12、透镜16和分光片17之间的位置精度要求较低,因此,在进行制作时,可以将光探测器18、光发射器12、透镜16和分光片17采用贴片等工艺设置在安装面110的预设位置,具有便于制作的优势。另外,在本申请提供的示例中,分光片17与光纤15之间通过第一波导桥141耦合,分光片17与光接收器13之间通过第二波导桥142耦合,能提升光接收器13和光纤15的位置设置的灵活性,且无需人工校准耦合,有利于降低制备难度并简化工艺流程。或者可以理解的是,若取消第一波导桥141和第二波导桥142,则在分光片17与光纤15之间的光信号是在空间中传播的、在分光片17与光接收器13之间的光信号也是在空间中传播的。若分光片17与光纤15之间的相对位置存在偏差时,则不能保证光信号在分光片17与光纤15之间的有效传输,因此,需要进行复杂的人工对准流程。相应的,若分光片17与光接收器13之间的相对位置存在偏差时,则不能保证光信号在分光片17与光接收器13之间的有效传输,因此,需要进行复杂的人工对准流程。
概括来说,在本申请提供的示例中,通过采用波导结构14(如第一波导桥141和第二波导桥142)可有效实现不同器件之间的有效耦合,可避免因校准误差导致的光信号传输不良等问题。另外,还能有效减低耦合校准的次数,有利于降低制备时的难度并简化工艺流程。
如图4所示,在对光收发组件10进行制备时,可以采用贴片、封壳、制作波导桥的工序进行制作。
具体的,如图5所示,可采用贴片工艺将光探测器18、光发射器12、透镜16、分光片17、光接收器13和跨阻放大器19设置在平面结构11的安装面110。

如图7所述,最后可以采用光诱导自写波导(light-induced self-written,LISW)工艺制备第一波导桥141和第二波导桥142,并实现第一波导桥141与分光片17和光纤15之间的耦合,以及第二波导桥142与分光片17和光接收器13之间的耦合。
需要说明的是,在本申请提供的示例中,为了便于对光发射器12、光接收器13和光探测器18的姿态(如朝向)进行合理设置,并满足光信号在空间传播时的耦合要求,光发射器12、光接收器13和光探测器18分别通过基座101设置于平面结构11。
