1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates an optical module configured to carry out transmission of a signal via an optical fiber, an optical transmission device including the optical module, and a method of manufacturing the optical transmission device.
2. Description of the Related Art
Conventionally, an optical module is known, the optical module including a photoelectric conversion element configured to convert electric energy to optical energy or optical energy to electric energy, and carrying out transmission or receipt of signal via an optical fiber (for example, refer to JP-A-2011-095295).
The optical module disclosed in JP-A-2011-095295 includes plate-shaped first to fourth substrates, an IC substrate, and a connector configured to electrically connect the optical module the circuit device. A light emitting element or a light receiving element is mounted in the first substrate. A circuit configured to transmit an electric signal to the light emitting element or a circuit configured to amplify an electric signal of the light receiving element is formed in the IC substrate. An insertion guide groove into which the optical fiber is inserted is formed in the second substrate, and the optical fiber inserted into the insertion guide groove is sandwiched between the second substrate and the third substrate. The first substrate and the IC substrate are mounted on the top surface of the fourth substrate. In addition, the IC substrate is situated opposite the second substrate and the third substrate in relation to the first substrate.
In recent years, with the spread of optical communication, an optical module has been installed in various devices. In addition, depending on the device, it may be strongly desired that the optical module is desired in size and weight. The use application of the optical module includes, e.g., communications between an operating portion (i.e., a keyboard mounting portion) and a display portion (i.e., a display mounting portion) of a folding or sliding mobile phone.
If the optical module disclosed in JP-A-2011-095295 needs to be reduced in the whole length (i.e., the length in the extension direction of the optical fiber), it may be predictable to shorten the insertion guiding member by, e.g., downsizing the second substrate and the third substrate. However, if the insertion guiding member is shortened, the optical fiber may be reduced in retention rigidity so that the optical fiber may be easily removed therefrom. Thus, there is a structural restriction in shortening the whole length of the optical module.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide an optical module that can be downsized while securing the retention rigidity for the optical fiber, as well as an optical transmission device including the optical module and a manufacturing method of the optical transmission device.

The electrode for test 221b is an electrode configured to carry out an operation test of the optical module 1 in a state of a single body that the optical module 1 is not mounted on the electronic circuit board 8, and directly connected to the electrodes 222 via through holes 23 respectively. A probe for the operation test has contact with the electrode for test 221b, so as to supply the power source and input and output the test signal via the probe. In the embodiment, plural (six) electrodes for test 221b are arranged on the periphery of the photoelectric conversion element 31. The electrodes for test 221b are electrically connected to any of the electrodes for connection 221a by wiring electrodes (not shown).
The optical connection member 4 includes a retaining member 40 configured to retain the optical fiber 9 and an optical guiding member 41 configured to guide an emission light emitted from the optical fiber 9. Both of the retaining member 40 and the optical guiding member 41 have translucency in a wavelength of the propagation light propagating the optical fiber 9, and the optical guiding member 41 has refractive index higher than the retaining member 40. The retaining member 40 and the optical guiding member 41 are comprised of, for example, a polyimide resin, an acrylic resin or an epoxy resin.
The retaining member 40 is shaped like a flat plate, and includes a front surface 40a that is flat and faces to the coverlay 20 and a rear surface 40b that is parallel to the front surface 40a and faces to the supporting member 5. The retaining member 40 has a groove 401 on the side of the rear surface 40b, the groove 401 being configured to open at the side of the supporting member 5 so as to house the tip of the optical fiber 9. The groove 401 is formed so as to extend along a direction that the semiconductor circuit element 32 and the photoelectric conversion element 31 are aligned, and to become depressed toward the front surface 40a from the rear surface 40b of the retaining member 40 in a thickness direction of the retaining member 40.
The groove 401 has an opening 401a that is formed in a band-like shape, into which the optical fiber 9 is pushed, at the side of the rear surface 40b (at the side of the supporting member 5). The optical fiber 9 is pushed into the retaining member 40 from the opening 401a in a thickness direction of the retaining member 40 so as to be housed in the groove 401. In addition, as shown in
Furthermore, the retaining member 40 includes a notch 403 formed at the side of the rear surface 40b. The notch 403 is formed so as to cross over from one side surface to another side surface of the retaining member 40, and the extension direction thereof is perpendicular to the central axis of the electric conductor 6. In addition, the notch 403 has a triangle shape in a side view, and the optical guiding member 41 is terminated by the notch surface 403a thereof. The notch surface 403a forms an angle of for example, 45 degrees with the rear surface 40b.
The optical guiding member 41 has an input/output surface 41a corresponding to an opening of the side of the groove 401 and a reflection surface 41b corresponding to a slope terminated by the notch surface 403a of the notch 403. The input/output surface 41a is disposed at a location that faces the core 90 configured to be surrounded by the clad layer 91 of the optical fiber 9 retained by the groove 401 as shown in
In the embodiment, if the optical module 1 is viewed from a side of the mounting surface 2a, the input/output surface 41a is located between the photoelectric conversion element 31 and the semiconductor circuit element 32. Namely, the groove 401 is formed so as to pass through between the semiconductor circuit element 32 and the supporting member 5 in a longitudinal direction of the circuit board 2 (in an extension direction of the optical fiber 9).
As shown in
The coverlay 20 is an insulating material that is shaped like a flat plate, comprised of, for example, a polyimide resin, an acrylic resin or an epoxy resin, and has a through hole 201 formed at a location corresponding to the reflection surface 41b of the optical connection member 4. The coverlay 20 is formed so as to have a size and a shape that cover the whole surface of the surface 40a of the optical connection member 4 (the retaining member 40). In the embodiment, one flat surface of the coverlay 20 that faces the surface 40a is congruent to the surface 40a except for the through hole 201.
The electric conductor 6 is supported by the side surface 50b of the main body 50. In the embodiment, plural (six) electric conductors 6 are formed by a mold forming so as to be integrated with the main body 50, and the side surfaces 6b of the electric conductors 6 are exposed at the side of the side surfaces 50b of the main body 50. In addition, one end part of the electric conductor 6 projects from the top surface 50a of the main body 50 toward the side of the circuit board 2.
The end surface 6a of the electric conductor 6 projecting from the top surface 50a faces the electrode 222 of the circuit board 2. In addition, one end part of the electric conductor 6 projecting from the top surface 50a functions as a positioning member configured to carry out positioning of the optical connection member 4 and the coverlay 20 when the optical module 1 is assembled.
The main body 50 has a thickness of, for example, not more than 0.5 mm, and has a certain level of optical transparency, thus the optical fiber 9 housed in the groove 401 can be visually confirmed from the rear surface opposite to the top surface 50a. This makes it possible to carry out a work for disposing the optical fiber 9 while confirming the position of the optical fiber 9.
The storage part 51 is formed in conjunction with the side surface of the main body 50. The storage part 51 is formed to have a U-like shape that has an opening on the side of the top surface 50a of the main body 50, and includes a bottom wall 510 and a pair of side walls 511 having a quadrangular prism shape that project from both end parts of the bottom wall 510 toward the side of the top surface 50a. The space (S) formed between the pair of side walls 511 is a storage space configured to accept an adhesive (not shown) for fixing the optical fiber 9 after it is inserted into the groove 401 of the optical connection member 4, and store the adhesive until it is solidified.
The semiconductor circuit element 32 includes twelve terminals 321a to 321d, 322a to 322d, 323a, 323b, 324a, and 324b in the side of the bottom surface 32b. In an example shown in
Further, in the embodiment, the whole of the surface of each terminal becomes a connection point connected to the electrode 221a, but in case of a hemispherical shape, the tip thereof becomes the connection point with the electrode 221a. In addition, if each terminal has a shape formed so as to be inflected from the side surface of the semiconductor circuit element 32 toward the side of the circuit board 2, the tip thereof becomes the connection point with the electrode 221a.
In the bottom surface 32b of the semiconductor circuit element 32, plural (four) terminals 321a to 321d arranged linearly constitute a first terminal row 321. In addition, similarly, plural (four) terminals 322a to 322d arranged linearly constitute a second terminal row 322. The first terminal row 321 and the second terminal row 322 are configured to be parallel to each other. As shown in
In detail, as shown in
As shown in
The intermediate position of the first terminal row 321 and the second terminal row 322 (the position obtained when one-half of the distance (d1) is displaced from the first terminal row 321 to the side of the second terminal row 322, or from the second terminal row 322 to the side of the first terminal row 321) is a position corresponding to the groove 401. Namely, a straight line (SL) that passes through the intermediate position and is perpendicular to the circuit board 2 intersects with the groove 401.
In addition, the terminals 323a and 323b disposed between the first terminal row 321 and the second terminal row 322 constitute a third terminal row. Similarly, the terminals 324a and 324b disposed between the first terminal row 321 and the second terminal row 322 constitute a fourth terminal row 324. Namely, the third terminal row 323 is configured such that the terminals 323a and 323b are arranged between the first terminal row 321 and the second terminal row 322. In addition, similarly, the fourth terminal row 324 is configured such that the terminals 324a and 324b are arranged between the first terminal row 321 and the second terminal row 322.
The terminals 323a and 323b are arranged so as to sandwich the groove 401. In addition, the terminals 324a and 324b are arranged so as to sandwich the groove 401, at the location closer to the storage part 51 than the terminals 323a and 323b. Further, the positional relationship between the third terminal row 323 and the fourth terminal row 324 can be reversed with each other. Namely, the terminals 323a and 323b can be arranged at the location closer to the storage part 51 and the terminals 324a and 324b can be arranged at the location closer to the photoelectric conversion element 31 respectively.
As shown in
In addition, as shown in
Operation of Optical Module 1
Next, the operation of the optical module 1 will be explained referring to
The optical module 1 configured to operate when the operation power source is supplied from the electronic circuit board 8. The operation power source is input to the photoelectric conversion element 31 and the semiconductor circuit element 32 via the electric conductor 6 and the circuit board 2. In addition, a signal to be transmitted by using the optical fiber 9 as a transmission medium is input to the semiconductor circuit element 32 from the electronic circuit board 8 via the electric conductor 6 and the circuit board 2. The semiconductor circuit element 32 is configured to drive the photoelectric conversion element 31 based on the signal input.
The photoelectric conversion element 31 is configured to emit a laser light from the light receiving/emitting part formed in the surface facing the circuit board 2 toward the mounting surface 2a of the circuit board 2 in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 2a. In
The laser light permeates through the substrate 21 of the circuit board 2, passes through the through hole 201 of the coverlay 20 and enters into the optical connection member 4. The laser light that has entered into the optical connection member 4 reflects at the reflection surface 41b, so as to enter into the core 90 of the optical fiber 9 from the input/output surface 41a while being led by the optical guiding member 41.
Further, in case that the photoelectric conversion element 31 is, for example, a photo diode, and the semiconductor circuit element 32 is a pre-amplifier IC, the travelling direction of the light is reversed in comparison with the above-mentioned case, and the photoelectric conversion element 31 converts the light signal received to electric signal so as to output to the semiconductor circuit element 32. The semiconductor circuit element 32 amplifies the electric signal so as to output to the side of the electronic circuit board 8 via the electric conductor 6 and the circuit board 2.
Configuration of Optical Transmission Device 10
The photoelectric conversion element 31 of the transmitting end optical module 1A is, for example, VCSEL, and similarly the semiconductor circuit element 32 of the transmitting end optical module 1A is a driver IC configured to supply the electric power for allowing the photoelectric conversion element 31 to emit the laser light.
In addition, the photoelectric conversion element 31 of the receiving end optical module 1B is, for example, a photo diode, and similarly the semiconductor circuit element 32 of the receiving end optical module 1B is a pre-amplifier IC configured to amplify the signal converted to the electric signal by the photoelectric conversion element 31.
The optical transmission device 10 is configured such that the transmitting end optical module 1A converts the signal input from the electronic circuit board 8 (not shown) in the side of the transmitting end optical module 1A to an optical signal so as to enter into the optical fiber 9, and the receiving end optical module 1B converts the optical signal to an electric signal, and amplifies the electric signal so as to output to the electronic circuit board 8 (not shown) in the side of the receiving end optical module 1B. This makes it possible to carry out an optical communication among plural electronic circuit boards 8, 8.
Manufacturing Method of Optical Transmission Device 10
The optical transmission device 10 is manufactured by assembling a first assembly 11 configured such that the supporting member 5 and the electric conductors 6 are integrated with each other, and a second assembly 12 configured such that the coverlay 20 and the optical connection member 4 are integrated with the circuit board 2 in which the photoelectric conversion element 31 and the semiconductor circuit element 32 are mounted, while sandwiching the optical fiber 9 in a radial direction. Since the first assembly 11 and the second assembly 12 are respectively assembled by a well-known method, hereinafter, a process for assembling the first assembly 11 and the second assembly 12 with each other will be explained.
As shown in
In the arrangement step, the first assembly 11 is mounted on a mounting surface 800a of a supporting platform 800, and the optical fiber 9 is positioned on the top surface 50a of the supporting member 5 so as to face the opening 401a.
In the pushing step, the pushing surface 801a of the pushing member 801 is brought into surface-contact with the top surface 32a of the semiconductor circuit element 32, and the pushing member 801 is moved to the side of the supporting platform 800, while the pushing surface 801a maintains the attitude of becoming parallel to the mounting surface 800a of the supporting platform 800. Due to this, the optical connection member 4 is pushed to the side of the supporting member 5 by a pushing force of the pushing member 801, and the optical fiber 9 is pushed into the groove 401 from the opening 401a. At this time, the optical connection member 4 and the circuit board 2 try to be distorted in shape so as to be bent with focus on the groove 401 based on a reaction force from the optical fiber 9, but this distortion in shape is prevented by the semiconductor circuit element 32.
Further, before the pushing step, the top surface 50a of the supporting member 5 and the peripheral surface of the optical fiber 9 can be coated with an adhesive.
According to the embodiment, the following effects and advantages can be obtained.
(1) The semiconductor circuit element 32 and the optical fiber 9 are arranged so as to be overlapped with each other in a thickness direction of the circuit board 2, while sandwiching the circuit board 2, thus the length of the groove 401 in which the optical fiber 9 is housed can be ensured while the whole length of the optical module 1 is prevented from enlargement, consequently the optical module 1 can be reduced in size while the retention rigidity of the optical fiber 9 is maintained.
(2) The circuit board 2 and the semiconductor circuit element 32 are stacked in a direction that the optical fiber 9 is pushed into the groove 401 of the optical connection member 4, thus the distortion in shape of the circuit board 2 due to pushing the optical fiber 9 into the groove 401 can be prevented by the semiconductor circuit element 32. Namely, even if the circuit board 2 is pushed up to the side of the semiconductor circuit element 32 due to the pushing of the optical fiber 9, the electrodes 221a of the circuit board 2 are respectively connected to each terminal of the first and the second terminal rows 321, 322 of the semiconductor circuit element 32, thus the distortion in shape of the circuit board 2 can be prevented by tension due to the above-mentioned terminals.
(3) The intermediate position of the first terminal row 321 and the second terminal row 322 is a position corresponding to the groove 401, thus the distortion in shape of the circuit board 2 can be prevented in a balanced manner, namely without being extremely biased toward any one of the first terminal row 321 and the second terminal row 322.
(4) The terminals 323a, 323b of the third terminal row 323 and the terminals 324a, 324b of the fourth terminal row 324 are configured such that parts of the terminals face the groove 401 via the circuit board 2, thus the distortion in shape of the circuit board 2 due to pushing the optical fiber 9 into the groove 401 is pushed back by the terminals 323a, 323b, 324a and 324b, consequently it can be further prevented.
(5) The distance between the centers of the terminal 323a and the terminal 323b of the third terminal row 323, and the distance between the centers of the terminal 324a and the terminal 324b of the fourth terminal row 324 are not less than the width of the groove 401, thus the distortion in shape of the circuit board 2 can be prevented in a further balanced manner.
(6) The groove 401 is formed so as to pass through between the semiconductor circuit element 32 and the supporting member 5 in a longitudinal direction of the circuit board 2, thus, for example, in comparison with a case that the groove 401 is formed so as not to pass through between the semiconductor circuit element 32 and the supporting member 5, and the input/output surface 41a is formed between the semiconductor circuit element 32 and the supporting member 5, the length of the optical fiber 9 that is retained by the groove 401 can be lengthened, consequently the retention rigidity thereof can be heightened.
(7) The height (h2) of the semiconductor circuit element 32 from the mounting surface 2a of the circuit board 2 is higher than the height (h1) of the photoelectric conversion element 31 from the mounting surface 2a of the circuit board 2, thus the pushing surface 801a can be brought into surface-contact with the top surface 32a of the semiconductor circuit element 32, without bringing the pushing surface 801a into contact with the top surface 31a of the photoelectric conversion element 31, when the pushing member 801 is moved to the side of the supporting platform 800. This makes it possible to push the optical fiber 9 arranged on the lower side of the semiconductor circuit element 32 (in the side of the supporting platform 800) into the groove 401 appropriately while preventing it from being inclined. Further, even if the height (h2) of the semiconductor circuit element 32 is lower than the height (h1) of the photoelectric conversion element 31, it is not impossible to position the pushing member 801 with a high degree of accuracy and bring the pushing surface 801a into contact with only the top surface 32a of the semiconductor circuit element 32, but as mentioned above, the whole length of the optical module 1 is extremely short (for example, 1.3 mm), thus the above-mentioned positioning is practically difficult.
Although the invention has been described with respect to the specific embodiments and Examples for complete and clear disclosure, the appended claims are not to be thus limited. In particular, it should be noted that all of the combinations of features as described in the embodiment and Examples are not always needed to solve the problem of the invention.
The invention may be carried out by being appropriately modified without departing from the scope thereof. For example, in the embodiment, a case that one optical fiber 9 is mounted in the optical module 1 has been explained, but not limited to this, the optical module 1 can be configured such that the optical fibers 9 are plurally mounted therein.
