I believe this problem will stump many people, why? Although we usually come into contact with optical communication and optical networks; however, you have not seen the optical module. in fact. The optical module should be in the optical communication, data center and other places. So, what exactly is the optical module?
The optical module is composed of an optoelectronic device, a functional circuit, an optical interface, and the like, and the optoelectronic device includes two parts, a transmitting and receiving.
Simply put, the function of the optical module is photoelectric conversion, and the transmitting end converts the electrical signal into an optical signal. After transmitting through the optical fiber, the receiving end converts the optical signal into an electrical signal. Moreover, according to the package classification, the optical module can be divided into: XFP optical module, which is a heat-exchangeable optical transceiver independent of the communication protocol, used for 10G bps Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and Fibre Channel.
