Optical transceiver
To provide an optical transceiver with which a plurality of optical transmitters and receivers constituting the optical transceiver can be detached individually and exchanged/repaired easily, so that waste of components can be avoided. The optical transceiver includes: an optical transceiver main body; a plurality of pairs of optical transmitters and optical receivers housed inside the optical transceiver main body by being disposed in parallel; optical transmitter substrates and optical receiver substrates, which individually hold each of the optical transmitters and the optical receivers; an optical transceiver substrate which holds each of the optical transmitter substrates and the optical receiver substrates; and connectors which connect each of the optical transmitter substrates as well as the optical receiver substrates to the optical transceiver substrate detachably.
1. An optical transceiver, comprising:
an optical transceiver main body;
a plurality of pairs of optical transmitters and optical receivers housed inside the optical transceiver main body by being disposed in parallel;
optical transmitter substrates and optical receiver substrates, which individually hold each of the optical transmitters and the optical receivers;
an optical transceiver substrate which holds each of the optical transmitter substrates and the optical receiver substrates; and
connectors which connect each of the optical transmitter substrates as well as the optical receiver substrates to the optical transceiver substrate detachably, wherein:
each of the optical transmitters includes a laser diode that outputs a laser beam;
each of the optical transmitter substrates includes a memory that stores a driving condition of each of the optical transmitters; and
the optical transceiver substrate includes a laser diode driving section that drives the laser diode and a driving section controller that controls drive of the laser diode driving section.
