Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of optical module, and provides a high-speed optical module for an optical fiber channel. The optical module can be used for 16G optical fiber channel, and comprises parts for emitting, receiving, clock data recovery and controlling. The optical module can be downward compatible with the application of 8G optical fiber channel and 4G optical fiber channel, support the diagnostic tests on optical circuit loopback and electrical circuit loopback, and provide stable receiving alarming. The optical module of the present invention, when serving as the interface between optical fiber channel systems and the interface between optical storage network storage devices, has the characteristics of miniaturization and low power consumption, and can improve port application density; the module supports hot swapping, which facilities the field debugging of the system, and can realize the replacing of the optical module without power down; and the module supports a digital diagnostic interface, and the network administrator can monitor the working state of the optical module by using the communication interface.
