Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

Field of Invention

The present invention relates to an optical module, in particular a direct guided optical module in which optical fiber signals in a plastic optical fiber are guided directly into a functional optical module.

Description of Related Arts

The optical module is referred to optical transceiver module, which is a core device in optical communication, and can complete the conversion of optical signals into electrical signals and the conversion of electrical signals into optical signals. The optical module is mainly consisted of optoelectronic devices, functional circuits and optical interfaces, wherein the optoelectronic device comprises a receiving part and an emitting part. Simply speaking, the receiving part can convert optical signals into electrical signals and the transmitting part can convert electrical signals into optical signals.

In order to guarantee the quality of signal transmission over long distances, the optical transmission part of optical module is mainly made of quartz optical fiber (GOF) at present. Because GOF has disadvantage of being less prone to bending, an optical path switching components must be provided in the optical module.

As shown in FIG. 1, a glass optical fiber (GOF) 1 is arranged obliquely, and a functional module 3 is provided on the circuit board 2 arranged horizontally. The functional module 3 may be a light emitting module or a light receiving module. In order to project the light beam in the glass optical fiber 1 onto the functional module 3, a light converter 4 must be provided between the glass optical fiber 1 and the functional module 3, and the light converter 4 typically comprises a plurality of light lenses and light mirrors. In addition, when the glass optical fiber 1 is being assembled, the structures in contact with the glass optical fiber 1 need to be ground and polished in order to ensure the flatness of the glass optical fiber 1.

The optical module mentioned above mainly has the following disadvantages. First, the optical module needs light converters 4 to change the light direction, thus results in not only complex structure and inefficient processing, but also increased light energy loss of the transmission process. Second, the assembling precision between various components is higher, so the technical difficulty and cost are higher. Third, due to the light path design of the optical lens and mirror, the coupling process is difficult, thus results in lower coupling accuracy and inefficiency.

The disadvantage said above is a major drawback of producing optical modules by quartz glass optical fibers.

There are also cases making optical modules by plastic optical fiber (POF). POF can transmit light because it has core-sheath structure, and light is transmitted through POF by total reflection. POF is characterized by great fiber core, lighter weight, simple fabrication, convenient attachment, good flexibility, easy deployment, and durable material. POF can be classified into step index (SI) plastic optical fiber and graded index (GI) plastic optical fiber, which are abbreviated as SI-POF and GI-POF.

Because the features of GI-POF are similar to GOF, there is a trend to replace GOF with GI-POF in many fields.

As shown in FIG. 2, GI-POF has a small core aperture 5 and common aperture can be as small as 100 microns or so. Similar to GOF, the transmission rate of GI-POF multiplied by distance is larger, and the effect of transmission is better, but GI-POF is rather expensive due to the difficult process of the small core aperture 5, therefore the cost of optical module produced by GI-POF is very high.

SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

The technical solution of the present invention is that an optical fiber signal direct guided optical module comprises a connector, a control circuit board and a plastic optical fiber.

The control circuit board is connected to the connector and is provided with a functional optical module. The plastic optical fiber is provided with an optical fiber end face corresponding to the functional optical module.

The distance L between the end face of the optical fiber and the top face of the functional optical module is in range 0f 50 µm to 150 µm.

Optical signals emitted by the end face of the optical fiber can be directly received by the functional optical module, and optical signals emitted by the functional optical module can also directly penetrate through the end face of the optical fiber to be received by the plastic optical fiber.

The plastic optical fiber comprises an optical fiber core and a wrapping layer wrapping the optical fiber core, and an optical transmission reflecting surface is formed between the optical fiber core and the wrapping layer.

The ratio D1/D2 between the aperture D1 of the optical fiber core and the aperture D2 of the wrapping layer is more than or equal to 0.6 and less than 1.

The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows. First, the functional optical modules provided on a general control circuit board are all placed horizontally, and the glass optical fiber (GOF) may be bent and break, so in order to transmit optical signal, light converters are required, thus the cost must be increased and at same time the size is greatly increased. The greatest advantage of optical transmission using a glass optical fiber (GOF) is the weaker attenuation of optical signals transmitted over long distances, however, most signal transmissions are done within 1 meter in practical applications, such as connecting a display screen to a host computer, connecting a television to a set-top box, and so on, and in the above-described use scenarios, there is an overabundance of transmission if glass fiber optic modules are used. The inventors targeted the present application according to the transmission characteristics of glass optical fibers and plastic optical fibers. In the present invention, the aperture of the fiber core is larger, so the cost is lower, and the drawback is also significant, that is not accommodating transmission of optical signals over long distances, but the total length of the plastic optical fiber is controlled to within 3 meters in this application, so the present application can properly transmit the optical signal over a limited distance, thus drastically reduces the cost and greatly expands the field of applicability. In practice, cost of the products produced according to the present application can be reduced seven to ten times. Second, when the ratio between the aperture of the fiber core and the aperture of the wrapping layer is less than 0.6, the characteristics of plastic optical fibers are close to glass optical fibers, but such plastic optical fibers are complicated to be processed and costly to be produced, although having characteristics of bending, such optical fibers lose value in replacing glass optical fibers as the costs are increased drastically even beyond glass optical fibers. The present invention target the present application by controlling the ratio to a reasonable range and taking into account the total length of the plastic optical fiber. Third, in the present invention, the fiber end face is directly corresponded to the functional optical module, thereby the light converter is eliminated, furthermore, the cost and the volume are simultaneously reduced.

As shown in FIG. 3, the control circuit board 20 is connected to the connector 10 and is provided with a functional optical module 21, and the plastic optical fiber 30 has an optical fiber end face 31 corresponding to the functional optical module 21.

The distance L between the optical fiber end face 31 and the top face of the functional optical module 21 is controlled to be 50 µm to 150 µm to ensure the optical signals can be received.

Optical signals emitted from the optical fiber end face 31 can be received directly by the functional optical module 21, and optical signals emitted from the functional optical module 21 can also directly penetrate through the end face 31 of the optical fiber to be received by the plastic optical fiber 30.

That is to say, in practice, when the functional optical module 21 is a receiving optical module, optical signals emitted from the plastic optical fiber 30 by the fiber end face 31 can be received directly by the receiving optical module, and when the functional optical module 21 is a transmitting optical module, optical signals emitted from the transmitting optical module can penetrate directly through the optical fiber end face 31 to be received by the plastic optical fiber 30.

As shown in FIG. 4, the plastic optical fiber 30 comprises an optical fiber core 32 and a wrapping layer 33 wrapping the optical fiber core 32, and an optical transmission reflecting surface 34 is formed between the optical fiber core 32 and the wrapping layer 33, during transmission of the optical signal, the optical signal is mainly transmitted in the optical fiber core 32 by reflection of the optical transmission reflecting surface 34.

The ratio between aperture D1 of fiber core 32 and aperture D2 of wrapping layer: D1/D2 is greater than or equal to 0.6 and less than 1.

In the specific implementation, the ratio between aperture D1 of fiber core 32 and aperture D2 of wrapping layer 33 may also be set as follow, D1/D2 is greater than or equal to 0.8 and less than 1.

In practice, the aperture D2 of wrapping layer 33 is typically about 500 µm, while the aperture D1 of the core 32 is typically about 485 µm.

The total length of the plastic optical fiber 30 is less than (2 mm/L)*(D2/D1)*10-D2/250 µm m.

As for the formula for the total length of the plastic optical fiber 30 of the present invention, the following example data is illustrated when be implemented.

Example 1: L = 150 µm, D1/D2=0.8 (D2/D1=1/0.8), D2=750 µm, the total length of plastic optical fiber 30 is less than 0.016 meters, (2 mm/150 m)*(1/0.8)*10-750 µm/250 µm m = 0.016 m.

Example 2: L=50 µm, D1/D2 =0.9 (D2/D1=1/0.9), D2=500 µm, the total length of plastic optical fiber 30 is less than 0.44 m, (2 mm/50 m)*(1/0.9)*10-500 µm/250 µm m=0.44 m.

Example 3: (Most typical applied parameters) L=100 m, D1/D2=0.95 (D2/D1=1/0.95), D2=250 µm, the total length of plastic optical fiber 30 is less than 2.11 m, (2 mm/100 µm)*(1/0.95)*10-250 µm/250 µmm=2.11 m.

The core design idea of the present invention is as follows.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, first, the functional light modules 21 provided on the control circuit board 20 are all horizontally positioned, and the glass optical fiber (GOF) 1 may be bent and break, so in order to transmit optical signal, light converters 4 are required, thus the cost must be increased and at same time the size is greatly increased.

The biggest advantage of optical transmission using a glass optical fiber (GOF) 1 is the weaker attenuation of optical signals transmitted over long distances, however, most signal transmissions are done within 1 meter in practical applications, such as connecting a display screen to a host computer, connecting a television to a set-top box, and so on, and in the above-described use scenarios, there is an overabundance of transmission if glass fiber optic modules are used.

The inventors targeted the present application according to the transmission characteristics of glass optical fibers and plastic optical fibers. In the present invention, the aperture D1 of the fiber core 32 is larger, so the cost is lower, and the drawback is also significant, that is not accommodating transmission of optical signals over long distances, but the total length of the plastic optical fiber 30 is controlled to within 3 meters in this application, so the present application can properly transmit the optical signal over a limited distance, thus drastically reduces the cost and greatly expands the field of applicability. In practice, cost of the products produced according to the present application can be reduced seven to ten times.

Secondly, as shown in FIG. 4, when the ratio between the aperture D1 of the fiber core 32 and the aperture D2 of the wrapping 33 D1/D2 is less than 0.6, the characteristics of plastic optical fibers are close to glass optical fibers, but such plastic optical fibers are complicated to be processed and costly to be produced, although having characteristics of bending, such optical fibers lose value in replacing glass optical fibers as the costs are increased drastically even beyond glass optical fibers.

The present invention will target the present application by controlling the ratio between D1 and D2 to a reasonable range and taking into account the total length of the plastic optical fiber 30.

Thirdly, in the present invention, the fiber end face 31 is directly corresponded to the functional optical module 21, thereby the light converter 4 is eliminated, furthermore, the cost and the volume are simultaneously reduced.

As shown in FIG. 5, the plastic optical fiber 30 comprises an optical signal straight guide section 41, a bend section 42, an inclined fixed section 43 and an epitaxial section 44, the four sections said above are connected together to form a plastic optical fiber 30.

Wherein the optical signal straight guide section 41 is in correspondence with the functional optical module 21, and the optical fiber end face 31 is positioned at the front end of the optical signal straight guide section 41, the bend section 42 is connected between the optical signal straight guide section 41 and the inclined fixed section 43, a transition angle 45 is determined by the bend section 42 between the optical signal straight guide section 41 and the inclined fixed section 43,so that the optical signal straight guide section 41 can be in correspondence with the functional optical module 21, and the degree of bending of the bend section 42 determines the value of the transition angle 45.

In the specific implementation, the transition angle 45 is controlled to be 180° to 90°, preferably 80° to 70° .

It is emphasized that the present invention targets the design of the bend section 42 by virtue of the bendable nature of the plastic optical fiber 30.The bend section 42 can make the optical signal straight guide section 41 directly in correspondence with the functional optical module 21, thereby omits the light converter 4 of the prior art.

The conventional glass fibers may be broken under bending, so the optical modules produced by glass fibers do not have bend section 42.

In the specific implementation, the functional optical module 21 is arranged horizontally and optical signal straight guide section 41 is directly above the functional optical module 21.

The inclined fixed section 43 is fixed in the optical fiber connector 100 to position the optical signal straight guide section 41 and the bend section 42.

The epitaxial section 44 is externally wrapped with optical fiber and is disposed outside of the optical module, and the total length of the epitaxial section 44 is smaller than (2 mm/L)*(D2/D1)*10-D2/250 µmm.

The docking and position fixing between the optical fiber 1 and the functional module 3 in the prior art is realized by an encapsulating glue and an encapsulating process. In general, first, fixing the functional module 3 on the circuit board 2, after that, fixing the optical fiber 1 and the light converter 4 on the circuit board 2, and finally, packaging and fixing the elements said above by the encapsulating glue. The elements need to be fixed are more, and the manufacturing process is cumbersome, so the cost is high, the positions need to be aligned are more, and the alignment is less effective.
