Types of Optics
To efficiently transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) data in such networks, optical transceivers utilize various types of optics. The following sections provide an overview of these different optics types.

An optical module typically consists of an optical transmitter (TOSA, Transmitter Optical Sub-Assembly, containing a laser diode), an optical receiver (ROSA, Receiver Optical Sub-Assembly, containing a photodetector), functional circuits, and optical (electrical). Optical modules typically have an electrical interface on the side that connects to the inside of the system and an optical interface on the side that connects to the outside. 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. AI clusters and cloud data centers demand faster, more efficient data transmission with minimal power loss.
