In this paper, we propose a tunable optical filter with a high Q factor based on photonic crystal technology, achieving a Q factor of 442.85 using thin film lithium niobate technology. By proportionally adjusting the dimensions of the unit structure, this filter enables coarse tuning across the 1520–1570 nm range (C band). Furthermore, by utilizing the thermo-optic effect of lithium niobate, we can achieve fine-tuning of the optical filter within a temperature range of 300 K to 600 K, allowing for a center wavelength tuning capability of up to 3.7 nm. This design not only enhances the filter’s performance but also broadens its potential applications in optical communication and optical signal processing.
In this paper, a four-channel optical emission module is developed using hybrid integration technology that integrates directly modulated laser (DML) chips, low-noise amplifier (LNA) chips, and control circuits, with dimensions of 24.4 mm × 21 mm × 5.9 mm. This module enables high-gain signal output and minimizes crosstalk between neighboring channels while improving integration. An equivalent circuit model of radio frequency (RF) signal transmission is established, and the accuracy of the model and the effectiveness of the approach to improve signal gain are verified using simulations and experiments. With optimized thermal management, the module has the ability to operate at stable temperatures across an ambient range of −55 °C to 75 °C. The module has a channel wavelength spacing of approximately 1 nm, and the −3 dB bandwidth of each channel exceeds 20 GHz. The crosstalk between neighboring channels is less than −65 dB. In the range of 0.8~25 GHz, the four-channel gain is approximately 15 dB through the integration of the LNA chip. The module achieves a noise figure (NF) of less than 30 dB.
