Abstract: A system and method for safe use of an optics assembly with an external light source and an optically coupled optics module is disclosed. The system includes an external light module emitting a continuous wave laser through an output port. An optics module has an input port and a memory. The optics module generates a modulated optical signal. The memory stores the power level of the continuous wave laser signal received by the optics module. An optical jumper is provided for coupling the output port with the input port. A communication bus is coupled between a controller and the external light source module. The controller sets the external light source at a low power level and transitions the external light source to a high power level when the stored power level of the continuous wave laser signal received by the optics module exceeds a predetermined level.

Abstract: An optical input/output tray for management of optical fibers installed in a switch assembly is disclosed. The switch assembly has a co-packaged optics module with an optical data signal input and a laser input, and a front panel. The optical input/output tray includes a housing insertable in the switch assembly. A first set of adapters are connectable to the co-packaged optics module. A second set of adapters is connectable to the front panel. WDM components convert a plurality of multi-wavelength signals from the first set of adapters to a single multiplexed signal coupled to the second set of adapters. The WDM components converts a single multiplexed signal from the second set of adapters to multi-wavelength signals coupled to the first set of adapters. A fiber management structure in the housing communicates optical signals between the first set of adapters, the WDM components, and the second set of adapters.

Abstract: An optical fiber routing assembly for interfacing with co-package optical (CPO) modules is disclosed. The optical fiber routing assembly includes a housing, a plurality of terminated optical fibers routed within the housing, a first set of adapters, and a second set of adapters. The first set of adapters is arranged vertically on an upper panel of the housing and facilitates connecting the plurality of terminated optical fibers to the CPO modules via terminated jumper optical fibers. The second set of adapters is arranged horizontally and configured to facilitate connecting the plurality of terminated optical fibers to one or more electronic systems. A combination of the first set of adapters and the second set of adapters facilitates communication between the CPO modules and the electronic systems. The optical fiber routing assembly provides fiber management to alleviate maintenance or heat issues associated with dense fiber routing around electronic components.
