Abstract:
Provided is a transistor outline (TO)-CAN type optical module and an optical transmission apparatus including the same. The optical module includes a stem, a thermo-electric cooler (TEC) on the stem, a first sub-mount on the TEC, an optical element on the first sub-mount, a plurality of electrode lead wirings inserted from an outside to an inside of the stem and disposed adjacent to the TEC and the optical element, a second sub-mount between the electrode lead wirings and the optical element, radio frequency (RF) transmission lines on the second sub-mount, a plurality of bonding wires connecting the RF transmission lines and the optical element, and the RF transmission lines and the electrode lead wirings, and an impedance matching unit disposed around the RF transmission lines and the electrode lead wirings, and controlling impedances of the RF transmission lines and the electrode lead wires.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an optical transmitter module including a directly modulated laser transmitter based on a directly modulated laser (DML) and an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) chip that is vertically polished. The directly modulated laser transmitter includes a directly modulated laser chip array including one or more directly modulated laser chips, an impedance matching circuit that allows each of the one or more directly modulated laser chips to operate at a critical speed of 100 Gbps per channel or higher, and a radio frequency-flexible printed circuit board (RF-FPCB) that transmits a radio frequency (RF) modulating signal to the directly modulated laser chip array. The arrayed waveguide grating chip includes an optical waveguides that transfer multi-channel optical signals and a wavelength multiplexer that multiplexes the multi-channel optical signals. The directly modulated laser transmitter and the arrayed waveguide grating chip are spaced apart from each other and are optically coupled in chip-to-chip.
