Furthermore, the communication interface 93 is further configured to receive an electrical signal output by the PD in the optical transceiver module.
Optionally, the processor 92 is specifically configured to amplify the electrical signal received by the communication interface 93 and output from the PD to obtain the second electrical signal.
Optionally, in specific implementation, if the memory 91, the processor 92, and the communication interface 93 are implemented separately, the memory 91, the processor 92, and the communication interface 93 may be connected by a bus and communicate with each other. The bus may be an industry standard architecture (ISA) bus, a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus, an Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus, or the like. The bus may be classified into an address bus, a data bus, a control bus, or the like. For ease of illustration,
Optionally, in specific implementation, if the memory 91, the processor 92, and the communication interface 93 are implemented on one chip, the memory 91, the processor 92, and the communication interface 93 may communicate with each other through internal interfaces.
The processor 92 may be a central processing unit (CPU) or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or be configured as one or more integrated circuits according to the embodiment of the present invention.
The functional modules of the crosstalk suppression apparatus according to this embodiment may be configured to execute the process of the crosstalk suppression methods shown in
According to this embodiment, by obtaining a first electrical signal indicating a data bit stream of a first optical signal output by a laser diode in an optical transceiver module and a transmission parameter of a photodiode, adjusting the first electrical signal based on the transmission parameter of the photodiode to obtain a third electrical signal indicating an electrical signal transformed by the photodiode from the first optical signal transmitted by the laser diode, and subtracting the third electrical signal from a second electrical signal output by the photodiode in the optical transceiver module, an electrical signal generated by the optical signal transmitted by the LD and reflected or refracted to the PD is removed from the electrical signal output by the PD, thereby suppressing crosstalk and improving the sensitivity of the optical transceiver module.
