Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a high speed optical module having a PCBA component and a passive optical element. The PCBA component includes a receiver and a transmitter. The transmitter includes an amplifier chip and a photodiode array connected to pins of the amplifier chip. The transmitter includes a laser driving chip and a base. Multiple lasers are arranged side by side in the base. The lasers are connected to the laser driving chip. A plurality of fiber interfaces are arranged on output light paths corresponding to the plurality of lasers. The passive optical element includes ferrules corresponding to the plurality of fiber interfaces, and the ferrules are correspondingly inserted into the plurality of fiber interfaces in a one-to-one relationship. The passive optical element is inserted into the PCBA component by fiber interfaces arranged on the PCBA component.

Claims (16)

1. A high-speed optical transceiver module, comprising:

a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) component having a receiver and a transmitter; and

a passive optical element, wherein

the receiver comprises an amplifier chip and a photodiode array connected to pins of the amplifier chip;
