2. Description of the Related Art
As science and technology are updated rapidly, processing speed and capacity of the computer increase correspondingly. The communication transmission using the traditional cable is limited to bandwidth and transmission speed of the traditional cable and mass information transmission required in modern life causes the traditional communication transmission overload. To correspond to such requirement, the optical fiber transmission system replaces the traditional communication transmission system gradually. The optical fiber transmission system does not have bandwidth limitation, and also has advantages of high speed transmission, long transmission distance, its material not interfered by the electromagnetic wave. Therefore, present electronic industrial performs research toward optical fiber transmission which will become the mainstream in the future. Said optical communication is a technology in that light wave functions as signal carrier and transmitted between two nodes via the optical fiber. Field of the optical communication can be divided into optical communication side and electric communication side according to transmission medium. By the optical transceiver, the received optical signal can be converted to an electrical signal capable of being processed by an IC, or the processed electrical signal can be converted to the optical signal to be transmitted via optical fiber. Therefore, objective of communication can be achieved.
Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is a multitask technology of processing multiple optical carrier signals transmitted by the optical fiber, and this technology is applied on the different wavelength signal or transmission of laser optical signal. This technology is implemented in bidirectional transmission of signal on the optical fiber to double transmission capacity. Besides, the term “wavelength-division multiplexing” is mostly applied in optical carrier, and frequency-division multiplexing is applied in radio carrier. Moreover, both of wavelength and frequency are in reciprocal relationship, so their concept can be applied to each other.
Actually, wavelength-division multiplexing is implemented by dividing the work wavelength of optical fiber into multiple channels to enable mass data transmission in one optical fiber. A whole wavelength-division multiplexing system can be divided into a wavelength division multiplexer at transmitting end and a wavelength division demultiplexer at receiving end. At present, there are commercial wavelength division multiplexer/demultiplexer which can divide 80 channels in the optical fiber communication system, so that the data transmission speed can exceed grade of Tb/s effectively.
In the transmitting module adapted for WDM technology, the connector usually has single light transmitter structure. However, such light transmitter structure can emit optical signals with different frequencies, but cannot be repaired for individual frequency. Therefore, whole light transmitter must be replaced if being damaged, and it causes larger consumption in cost.

In order to illustrate the z-axis calibration in this embodiment easily, a distance from the transmitting module 12 to the coupling lens 151 is defined as L1, and a distance from the coupling lens 151 to the isolator 1523 is defined as L2. In this embodiment, the coupling lens 151 is disposed on the disposal slot 114 of the base 11, the distance L1 from the transmitting module 12 to the coupling lens 151 is a fixed value, and the distance L2 from the coupling lens 151 to the isolator 1523 is adjusted according to the inserted part 15222 of the light distance adjusting mechanism 1522 and the groove track 15213 of the plane adjusting mechanism 1521. As L1 is fixed, for better coupling efficiency, length of L2 tends towards a fixed value due to convergence characteristic of the coupling lens 151. Therefore, the length of L2 depends on the length of L1. For biconvex lens, such configuration may increase the tolerance between the light distance adjusting mechanism 1522 and the plane adjusting mechanism 1521 since L2>L1, so that difficulty in process can be reduced.

In this embodiment, the coupling lens 6522 is disposed on the disposal slot 65123 of the optical fiber connection mechanism 6512, therefore, the distance L4 from the coupling lens 6522 to the light coupling channel 65124 is a fixed value, and the distance L3 from the transmitting module 62 to the coupling lens 652 is adjusted according to the light distance adjusting part 65122 of the optical fiber connection mechanism 6512 and the through slot 65112 of the plane adjusting mechanism 6511.
