Main optical wavelengths of optical modules

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.

Optical components of WSS optical modules

Optical components of WSS optical modules

Wavelength selective switching components are used in optical communications networks to route (switch) signals between optical fibres on a per-wavelength basis. The optical system for a WSS can be broadly divided into two sections: the wavelength section, which separates the input wavelengths using a dif-fraction grating, and the switch section, with its array of ports. A WSS comprises a switching array that operates on light that has been dispersed in wavelength without the requirement that the. Molex offers WSS products in Single- and Twin- formats, with port counts ranging from Single 1x2 to Twin 1x32+ products. To solve this problem, we propose a three-phase approach to construct a modular WSS-based OXC.
