Optical Module Internal Model
An optical module is a typically hot-pluggable optical transceiver used in high-bandwidth data communications applications. The form factor and electrical interface are often specified by an interested group using a (MSA). Optical module usually consists of a transmitter assembly (TOSA, containing a laser LD chip), a receiver assembly (ROSA, containing a photodetector PD chip), a driver circuit, an optoelectronic interface, a heat sink (some models), a housing, a pull ring and so on. As an essential component of optical fiber communication, optical modules are optoelectronic devices that facilitate the conversion between optical and electrical signals during the transmission process.
