Home / Main optical wavelengths of optical modules
Many different forms of optical modulation and multiplexing have been employed in optical modules. Currently, the three main center wavelengths for commonly used optical modules are the 850nm band, 1310nm band, and 1550nm band. An optical module usually consists of an optical transmitting device (TOSA, including a laser), an optical receiving device (ROSA, including a photodetector), functional circuits,main control circuit board (PCBA), housing and optical (electrical) interface and other components. Optical modules typically have an electrical interface on the side that connects to the inside of the system and an optical interface on the side that connects to the outside.
