A kind of light back board interface
Technical field
The present invention relates to optical communication fields, more particularly, to a kind of light back board interface.
Background technique
With increasingly popularizing for optical communication network and the 4G communication technology, when network transmission speed marches toward Gbps by Mbps
The transmission rate in generation, core network will even march toward the Tbps epoch.However the interchanger as network core and high-performance are simultaneously
Row computer, internal chip interconnect but still in " copper interconnection " epoch.Although in recent years, the processing of the chips such as microprocessor
Ability is greatly improved, but the hump speed of " copper interconnection " only has 100Gbps, for the Terahertz net that can be looked forward to,
" copper interconnection " certainly will become bottleneck therein, and what is thus come into being is exactly light back board interconnection technique.
Early in May, 2011, Hewlett-Packard Corporation just discloses a light back board concept product in InterOp exhibition, and core is
The transmission array of 12 road plastic light conduits composition, constitutes R-T unit by 4 road 850nm 6.25Gbps VCSEL, realizes each board
Between interconnection, this product is successfully applied on HP8212 interchanger.Since electricity interconnection at that time is fully able to meet user's
Most of demand, and the product is not yet mature, and light back board technology does not have significant breakthrough so far.
Nearly 2 years, especially domestic, with further universal and network rate the downward of fiber optic network, resident is to net
The demand growth of network bandwidth is obvious, and the growth of the market demand have stimulated the quickening of technological innovation.More and more scientific research machines at present
Structure and enterprise have carried out positive concern to light back board technology.
Currently used light back board system, there are two types of main embodiments: one is use optical fiber to be fixed on substrate,
Backboard interconnection is realized by the fibre system on substrate, substantially still falls within optical fiber interconnection, and the program implements complexity, and optical fiber is numerous
More, there are security risks, and optical-fiber type device size is larger, it is difficult to integrated;Another kind is returned using integrated-type plane light wave
Road (PLC) light back board, program compact, integrated level is high, can be by reasonably designing realization multiple functions, but the program
Connection with equipment needs to design reasonable interface.
The PLC light back board being designed or implemented at present, there are mainly two types of interfaces, and a kind of Interface integration is on light back board, light
The waveguide input of backboard output section directly docked with the fiber array of equipment, the program requires light back board to keep horizontal positioned,
This is unfavorable for the spatial arrangement inside optical communication equipment;If passing through the band fibre of extended fiber array and being bent band fibre and enable PLC light
Backboard is vertical, and this aspect is unfavorable for integrating, and on the other hand increases the risk that optical fiber fractures, and deteriorates the antidetonation energy of system
Power;Another interface considers space problem, and 45 ° of micro-reflectors are increased between fiber array and light back board as interface, in fact
The vertical arrangement of light back board is showed, system compact is reliable.But the program implements complicated, design and reflecting mirror to space optical path
Production assembly has very high requirement.
