Abstract

An optical receiving device includes a substrate; an optical receiving chip arranged on the substrate; an optical demultiplexer arranged on the substrate and used to distinguish optical signals into optical signals with different wavelengths; an optical transmission structure optically coupled to the optical demultiplexer and providing the optical signals to the optical demultiplexer; and an optical fiber array fused with optical fibers of the optical demultiplexer, and transmitting the optical signals with different wavelengths to the optical receiving chip. According to the optical receiving device, the optical fiber cable of the optical demultiplexer is directly fused with the optical fiber cable of the optical fiber array, so that the optical signal coming out from the optical fiber cable is directly coupled to the optical receiving chip, which not only improves the coupling efficiency, but also avoids the damage caused by the optical receiving chip colliding with external devices.
