A method for designing a high-speed multichannel optical module. Components in an optical module are classified into a circuit part and an optical path part according to functions, and the circuit part and the optical path part are separately processed and then assembled to be an optical module. Thus, modular production is implemented, and multiple parts can be processed at the same time, thereby improving the production efficiency. Moreover, if any fault occurs to either of the parts, the part can be independently replaced and maintained, thereby preventing the entire optical module from being scrapped, facilitating control of the production costs, and improving the yield rate. Also disclosed in the present invention is a high-speed multichannel optical module, which is manufactured according to the design method above. The high-speed multichannel optical module employs a modular structure, and comprises a circuit part and an optical path part which are electrically connected. The structure is simple, and expansion and upgrade are facilitated.

A first optical transceiver outputs a first optical signal while switching the wavelength of the first optical signal to an optical fiber that acts as a medium for carrying single-fiber bi-directional communication between the first optical transceiver and an opposing second optical transceiver. When the wavelength of the first optical signal is switched to a receivable wavelength, the second optical transceiver identifies the wavelength of the received first optical signal, and outputs the second optical signal having a wavelength determined on the basis of the identification result to the optical fiber. When the first optical transceiver receives the second optical signal from the optical fiber, the first optical transceiver stops switching the wavelength of the first optical signal.

A photonic synthesizer includes a multifrequency optical source to produce a signal of interest from a pair of lasers, which may be self-injection locked chip lasers. The signal is referenced to a high frequency clock using a photonic mixer/divider based on an electro-optical modulator and a relatively slow photodiode. The electro-optical modulator produces optical harmonics from the beams from the pair of lasers, where one harmonic from the first laser beam and one harmonic from the second laser beam beat on the photodiode. A phase locked control signal is generated for controlling the output frequency of one or both of the two lasers. The output signal of the photonic synthesizer is generated using a relatively fast photodiode based on a difference in frequencies of the pair of lasers. The output signal may be a millimeter wave-band signal. The photonic synthesizer can be formed as a photonic integrated circuit (PIC).
