PLUGGABLE OPTICAL MODULE AND OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240118507 titled 'PLUGGABLE OPTICAL MODULE AND OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a pluggable optical connector that can be inserted into and removed from an optical communication apparatus to communicate a modulation signal and a data signal. It includes a wavelength-tunable light source, an optical transmission unit, an optical reception unit, and pluggable optical receptors.
- Wavelength-tunable light source outputs output light and local oscillation light.
- Optical transmission unit modulates the output light to generate an optical signal in response to the modulation signal.
- Optical reception unit demodulates an optical signal using the local oscillation light to the data signal.
- Pluggable optical receptors allow insertion and removal of an optical fiber, capable of outputting the optical signal to the optical fiber and transferring received optical signal to the optical reception unit.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in optical communication systems, data centers, telecommunications networks, and high-speed internet connections.
Problems Solved
The pluggable optical connector solves the problem of easily connecting and disconnecting optical fibers from optical communication apparatus, enabling quick and efficient data transmission.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved flexibility, scalability, and ease of maintenance in optical communication systems. It also allows for faster data transmission and reduced downtime during maintenance.
Potential Commercial Applications
- "Pluggable Optical Connector for High-Speed Data Transmission in Telecommunications Networks"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional fixed optical connectors that require more time and effort to connect and disconnect optical fibers compared to pluggable optical connectors.
What are the potential safety considerations when using this technology?
Potential safety considerations when using this technology include ensuring proper alignment of the optical fibers to prevent signal loss or damage to the equipment. Additionally, proper handling of the pluggable optical connectors to avoid contamination or damage to the connectors is essential for optimal performance.
How does this technology compare to existing optical connector solutions in terms of cost-effectiveness?
This technology offers cost-effectiveness by reducing installation and maintenance time, leading to lower operational costs in the long run. Additionally, the flexibility and scalability of pluggable optical connectors can result in cost savings by allowing for easy upgrades and modifications to the optical communication system.
