The application relates to the photovoltaic conversion technology, and in particular, to a film-coated optical fiber photovoltaic conversion module based on a multi-chip package technology.
In the field of communication, electrical interconnection transmission based on metal wires is greatly limited due to factors such as electromagnetic interference, inter-symbol interference and loss and wiring cost, which consequently gives rise to optical transmission having advantages such as high bandwidth, large capacity, easy integration, low loss, good electromagnetic compatibility, no crosstalk, light weight and small size. Hence, the optical transmission is widely applied to digital signal transmission. As a core device in the optical fiber transmission, an optical module determines the overall performance of transmission by virtue of its various indicators. The optical module is a carrier for transmission between a switch and an apparatus, and mainly functions to convert electrical signals from the apparatus into optical signals by an emitter. Its basic structure consists of two parts, including “an optical emission assembly and a drive circuit thereof” and “an optical receiving assembly and a receiving circuit thereof”. The optical module includes two channels, namely an emission channel and a receiving channel.
For an existing photovoltaic conversion module that is put into use, an optical module structure and a process matched therewith are complex with numerous components, and need to be processed and completed using a high-precision optical coupling system. Optical and electrical channels are implemented by optical fibers and cables, respectively. The wires and cables have a complex sectional structure and cannot be further reduced in diameter and weight, leading to relatively high cost. The hybrid structure consisting of optical fibers and copper wires is not conducive to wire processing or the like.

Referring to
The lasers 6 are Vcsel lasers.
The bevel is disposed at 45° with respect to the plane at the top portion of the multi-chip package 1. In such a configuration, the top portion of each optical fiber is beveled at 45°, and light can be refracted into the optical fiber by means of the bevel of 45°, such that the conventional coupling process can be omitted.
The coatings 5 are metal coatings and are welded to the multi-chip package 1 by means of the laser welding spots 2. In such a configuration, the metal coatings 5 are disposed not only to protect the optical fibers to make them firmer and more flexible, but also to endow the optical fibers with properties of conduction and power supply, such that the wire bonding for conventional copper wires is omitted; and the processing precision of high-precision laser welding or ultrasonic welding can reach a micron level, and metal welding and fixing can allow extremely high stability, such that an aging allowance does not need to be reserved for a later stage during processing. Therefore, the precision required for connecting optical circuits can be met easily.
Output ends of the lasers 6 point to the bevels. In such a configuration, light can be refracted into the optical fibers directly by means of the bevel of 45°, such that an optical article jumper can be omitted to save the cost.
The gratings 7 are etched in the bevel ends of the film-coated optical fibers 4 by an etching technology and are above the lasers 6. In such a configuration, light can be refracted directly by means of the gratings.
Working principle: When in use, the multi-chip package and the film-coated optical fibers are combined to omit the conventional COB process, such that products can be standardized and produced in mass. The structural design is reasonable such that the optical fiber with the bevel of 45° is docked with the Vcsel lasers to allow direct refraction of the light into the optical fibers, and an optical article jumper can be omitted. The metal protecting the optical fiber can act as a power cord to supply power to the module, such that the wire bonding for conventional copper wires is omitted, allowing the photovoltaic conversion module to become more lightweight.
