Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2, wherein FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the optoelectronic submodule, the slave microprocessor, and the master microprocessor of FIG. 1 disposed on a carrier board. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 comprises an optoelectronic submodule 11, a slave microprocessor 12, a master microprocessor 13 and a carrier board 14. The optoelectronic submodule 11, the slave microprocessor 12, and the master microprocessor 13 are disposed on and electrically connected to the carrier board 14, which can be, but is not limited to, a printed circuit board. Specifically, the electrical connection lines among the optoelectronic submodule 11, the slave microprocessor 12 and the master microprocessor 13 can be disposed on the surface or inside of the carrier board 14. The optoelectronic submodule 11, the slave microprocessor 12, and the master microprocessor 13 and the carrier board 14 are integrated and packaged together to form the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1.

In this embodiment, the optoelectronic submodule 11 includes a digital signal processing chip 111, an optoelectronic signal analog conversion chip 112, and an optical transceiver chip 113. The optoelectronic signal analog conversion chip 112 is connected to the digital signal processing chip 111, and the optical transceiver chip 113 is connected to optoelectronic signal analog conversion chip 112. The digital signal processing chip 111 is configured to convert an electrical analog signal, which is received, into an electrical digital signal, and process the electrical digital signal to output a high-speed digital signal. The optoelectronic signal analog conversion chip 112 is configured to convert an optical analog signal into the electrical analog signal to the digital signal processing chip 111. The optical transceiver chip 113 is configured to receive and transmit the optical analog signal to the optoelectronic signal analog conversion chip 112, and transmit another optical analog signal. The digital signal processing chip 111 may include but is not limited to a clock and data recovery circuit (CDR) and a digital signal processor (DSP), and the optical transceiver chip 113 may be, but not limited to, a photonic integrated circuit (PIC). Specifically, the digital signal processing chip 111, the optoelectronic signal analog conversion chip 112, and the optical transceiver chip 113 are integrated together to form the optoelectronic submodule 11.

It should be noted that the optical transceiver chip 113 is a multi-channel optical transceiver chip, and each channel can have the same transmission rate or the different transmission rates. The number of channels of the optical transceiver chip 113 and the transmission rate of each channel can be adjusted based on the actual transmission rate of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1. For example, the transmission rate of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 may be 800 Gbps, the number of channels of the optical transceiver chip 113 may be eight, and the transmission rate of each channel may be 100 Gbps. In addition, the optical transceiver chip 113 can communicates with the outside using the optical analog signals through multiple optical fibers and optical connectors, wherein one optical fiber corresponds to one channel.

In this embodiment, the slave microprocessor 12 is connected to the optoelectronic submodule 11 and is configured to monitor the operation of the optoelectronic submodule 11. The master microprocessor 13 is connected to the optoelectronic submodule 11 and is configured to process a low-speed digital signal transmitted from the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 to the outside, monitor operation of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1, and perform initialization of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1. Specifically, the slave microprocessor 12 can be used to monitor and control the operation of the internal components of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1, and the master microprocessor 13 can be used to monitor and control the overall operation of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1, and control the signals of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 which is output to the outside. The slave microprocessor 12 can perform the digital control of general-purpose input and output of the optoelectronic submodule 11, and the master microprocessor 13 can perform digital monitoring on the overall operation of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1. Specifically, through the setting of the slave microprocessor 12 and the master microprocessor 13, the overall operation of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 can be effectively monitored and controlled.

It should be noted that, in order to avoid the complexity of the drawings in FIGS. 1 and 2, the connection lines between the slave microprocessor 12 and the components in the optoelectronic submodule 11 and the connection lines between the master microprocessor 13 and the components and the modules in the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 can be omitted from drawing. In addition, the slave microprocessor 12 may include, for example, a general purpose microprocessor, an instruction set processor and/or a related chipset, and/or a special purpose microprocessor (e.g., an ASIC). When the slave microprocessor 12 is an ASIC, the performance of the slave microprocessor 12 is more optimized and the processing speed is faster since the ASIC is designed for the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1.

In an embodiment, the number of optoelectronic submodules 11 may be one (as shown in FIG. 1) or an even number (as shown in FIG. 3, which is a block diagram of a co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure). The number of optoelectronic submodules 11 can be adjusted according to the transmission rate of the actual co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1, the number of channels of the optical transceiver chip 113 and the transmission rate of each channel. For example, the transmission rate of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 in FIG. 2 can be 800 Gbps, the number of optoelectronic submodules 11 of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 can be two, the number of channels of the optical transceiver chip 113 of the optoelectronic submodule 11 can be four, and the transmission rate of each channel can be 100 Gbps. In another example, the transmission rate of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 can be 1.6 Tbps, the number of optoelectronic submodules 11 of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 can be four, the number of channels of the optical transceiver chip 113 of the optoelectronic submodule 11 can be four, and the transmission rate of each channel can be 100 Gbps. In another example, the transmission rate of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 can be 1.6 Tbps, the number of optoelectronic submodules 11 of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 can be two, and the number of channels of the optical transceiver chip 113 of the optoelectronic submodule 11 can be eight, and the transmission rate of each channel can be 100 Gbps.

In an example, when the number of optoelectronic submodules 11 of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 can be an even number, the number of slave microprocessors 12 of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 can be one, and the slave microprocessor 12 monitors the even number of optoelectronic submodules 11 (that is, there is a many-to-one correspondence between the optoelectronic submodules 11 and the slave microprocessor 12) (as shown in FIG. 3). In another example, the number of optoelectronic submodules 11 of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 is the same as the number of slave microprocessors 12 of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1, and one slave microprocessor 12 monitors one optoelectronic submodule 11 (that is, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the optoelectronic submodules 11 and the slave microprocessors 12).

It should be noted that, in the above-mentioned embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 3, the another optical analog signal sent by the optical transceiver chip 113 may come from an external light source unit. Therefore, the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 of FIGS. 1 to 3 does not include a light source unit.

In one embodiment, please refer to FIG. 4, which is a block diagram of a co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 may further comprise a light source unit 15 connected to the optical transceiver chip 113 and the slave microprocessor 12. The light source unit 15 may be configured to output the another optical analog signal to the optical transceiver chip 113 for transmission based on a control signal from the slave microprocessor 12. In other words, the light source unit 15 can be integrated and packaged with the optoelectronic submodule 11, the slave microprocessor 12, the master microprocessor 13, and the carrier board 14, and the slave microprocessor 12 can control the light source unit 15 to transmit the another optical analog signal to the optical transceiver chip 113.

In an example, when the number of optoelectronic modules 11 of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 can be an even number, the number of light source units 15 can be one, and the light source unit 15 outputs the another optical analog signal to the optical transceiver chip 113 of each optoelectronic module 11 (that is, there is a many-to-one correspondence between the optoelectronic modules 11 and the light source unit 15) (as shown in FIG. 5, which is a block diagram of a co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure). In another example, the number of optoelectronic modules 11 of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 is the same as the number of light source units 15 of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1, and one light source unit 15 outputs the another optical analog signal to one optoelectronic submodule 11 (that is, there is a one-to-one correspondence between optoelectronic modules 11 and light source units 15) (as shown in FIG. 6, which is a block diagram of a co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure).

In one embodiment, since the optical transceiver chip 113 is a multi-channel optical transceiver chip, the light source unit 15 may include one or an even number of lasers 151, and the light source unit 15 may be configured to output the another optical analog signal having a single wavelength through the one or the even number of lasers 151. Specifically, the one or the even number of lasers 151 included in the light source unit 15 can output optical analog signals of the same wavelength, and the optical analog signal output by the one laser 151 can be transmitted through one or more channels of the optical transceiver chip 113 (i.e., one laser 151 corresponds to one or more channels of the optical transceiver chip 113). The number of lasers 151 included in the light source unit 15 may be but not limited to one (as shown in FIG. 5), and the number of lasers 151 included in the actual light source unit 15 may be adjusted according to actual requirements.

In another embodiment, since the optical transceiver chip 113 is a multi-channel optical transceiver chip, the light source unit 15 may comprise an even number of lasers 151, and the light source unit 15 may be configured to output the another optical analog signal having different wavelengths through the even number of lasers 151. Specifically, the even number of lasers 151 included in the light source unit 15 can respectively output optical analog signals of different wavelengths, and the optical analog signal output by one laser 151 can be transmitted through one or more channels of the optical transceiver chip 113 (that is, one laser 151 corresponds to one or more channels of the optical transceiver chip 113). The number of lasers 151 included in the light source unit 15 may be but not limited to two (as shown in FIG. 7, which is a block diagram of a co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module according to a sixth embodiment of the present disclosure). The number of lasers 151 included in the actual light source unit 15 can be adjusted according to actual requirements. For example, the optical transceiver chip 113 is a four-channel optical transceiver chip, the number of lasers 151 included in the light source unit 15 can be four, and one channel of the optical transceiver chip 113 corresponds to one laser 151.

In an embodiment, the slave microprocessor 12 may be further configured to output a control current matching the control signal to the light source unit 15 in a current-type digital-to-analog conversion manner, or output a control voltage matching the control signal to the light source unit 15 in a voltage-type digital-to-analog conversion manner. Specifically, the slave microprocessor 12 may comprise a current-type digital-to-analog conversion unit 121 and/or a voltage-type digital-to-analog conversion unit 122, and the slave microprocessor 12 may output the control current through the current-type digital-to-analog conversion unit 121 or output the control voltage through the voltage-type digital-to-analog conversion unit 122, to control the light source unit 15 to output the optical analog signal (as shown in FIG. 8, which is a block diagram of a co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module according to a seventh embodiment of the present disclosure).

In an embodiment, the slave microprocessor 12 may be further configured to perform closed loop control of the optoelectronic submodule 11 and the light source unit 15 according to digital monitoring data of the optoelectronic submodule 11 and the light source unit 15. Specifically, since the slave microprocessor 12 can monitor the operation of the optoelectronic submodule 11 and the light source unit 15, the slave microprocessor 12 can perform feedback control of the operation of the optoelectronic submodule 11 and the light source unit 15 according to the monitoring result of the optoelectronic submodule 11 and the light source unit 15 (i.e., the digital monitoring data). In an example, the slave microprocessor 12 may perform feedback control of the optoelectronic submodule 11 and the light source unit 15 according to the temperature of the optoelectronic submodule 11 and the optical power of the light source unit 15, to maintain the operational stability of the optoelectronic submodule 11 and the light source unit 15.

The power chip 16 can provide different voltage levels required by the optoelectronic submodule 11, the slave microprocessor 12 and the master microprocessor 13.

In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 10, the slave microprocessor 12 may be further configured to perform power management on the optoelectronic submodule 11 through the power chip 16 based on the digital monitoring data of the optoelectronic submodule 11. Specifically, since the slave microprocessor 12 can monitor the operation of the optoelectronic submodule 11, the slave microprocessor 12 can control and manage the step-up/step-down of the power of the optoelectronic submodule 11 through the power chip 16 according to the monitoring result of the optoelectronic submodule 11 (i.e., the digital monitoring data).

In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 10, the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1 may further comprise a non-volatile memory 17 connected to the master microprocessor 13 and configured to store a initialization program required by the master microprocessor 13 to perform initialization of the co-packaged integrated optoelectronic module 1.
