Abstract
An N×N parallel optical transceiver includes a printed circuit board, a laser driving control chip, one or more lasers, two GRIN lenses, an optical band-pass filter, a multimode fiber array and a photodiode array. In the transmitter, laser beams of the same wavelength simultaneously output from the laser chip are first focused by the first GRIN lens, then the beams pass through a wavelength band-pass filter and are refocused by the second GRIN lens, and enter the channels in the multimode fiber array. In the receiver, laser beams of a different wavelength from the multimode fiber array are focused by the second GRIN lens, then reflected by the band-pass filter, refocused by the second GRIN lens, and received by the photodiode array. The multi-channel parallel transceiver has a small form, and can integrate a DFB or FP laser chip and GRIN lenses.
