Abstract
An optoelectronic integrated apparatus, including a plurality of working optical source links, at least one spare optical source link, at least one spare data channel, and a protection control unit for detecting whether there is any working optical source link faulty. When detecting that a working optical source link is faulty, controlling a spare optical source link whose emission wavelength is the same as the faulty working optical source link to fulfill the functions of the faulty working optical source link and switching a data signal from the working data channel to a spare data channel. The spare optical source link is adapted to modulate the optical signal using the data signal from the spare data channel, and transmits the modulated optical signal. Reliability of the optoelectronic integrated apparatus is enhanced without increasing the maintenance cost.
