As an important part of optical network equipment, Interconnection Devices & Components are widely used in modern networks such as communications, medical, industrial, military, data center and cloud computing. The optical device is the core of the optical module, is the optical communication system to convert the electrical signal into the optical signal, or the optical signal into the electrical signal of the key device, the need for additional energy drive work, is the heart of the optical transmission system. At the same time, the conversion ability and efficiency of optical devices determine the communication speed.
Compared with copper cable products, the energy consumption efficiency of optical devices & components is high, whether active optical devices or passive optical devices, their energy consumption and heat output are far lower than that of copper cable products of the same level.
The research and development of the new generation of optical communication devices will pay more attention to reducing the transmission cost per unit bandwidth. The integrated optical communication devices are the key to reduce the operation and maintenance cost and improve the efficiency of optical network equipment.
Due to the increase of channel integration and integration functions, the device dense afterheat will become a new challenge, and the miniaturization and low power consumption of optical devices & components are the new trend of future development.
