OPTICAL COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND OPTICAL SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17958839 titled 'OPTICAL COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND OPTICAL SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an optical communication device that simplifies the optical path and reduces costs by using fewer lenses and optical coupling dimensions. The device includes optical transmitting and receiving devices, an optical path component, and an optical fiber adapter.
- The device includes two optical transmitting devices and two optical receiving devices.
- Each optical transmitting device has a first converging lens that converges a light beam emitted by a light source.

Original Abstract Submitted
An optical communication device includes two optical transmitting devices, two optical receiving devices, an optical path component, and an optical fiber adapter. A first converging lens packaged in each of the optical transmitting devices converges a light beam emitted by a light source, and provides the converged light beam for the optical path component. A second converging lens packaged in each of the optical receiving devices converges a light beam from the optical path component, and provides the converged light beam for a photoelectric detection element. The optical path of the optical communication device is simplified and the process costs are reduced. In addition, the quantity of used lenses is reduced, correspondingly reducing the quantity of optical coupling dimensions between mechanical parts and improving production efficiency of combined passive optical network (Combo PON) products.
