Functions of an optical demultiplexer
The main function of an optical demultiplexer is to receive from a fiber a beam consisting of multiple optical frequencies and separate it into its frequency com-ponents, which are coupled in as many individual fibers as there are frequencies. In optical communications, DEMUX devices separate different wavelength channels (WDM) or time-division multiplexed signals. DEMUX (demultiplexer): It is used to separate multiple wavelength signals transmitted over an optical fiber. Multiplexers can easily replace logic gates and implement logic with the advantage of changing the function whenever required. They do this by using control signals to route data across different channels. -

Optical module heat dissipation VC liquid cooling
A liquid-cooled optical transceiver is a high-speed module that incorporates liquid cooling technologies (such as cold plates or microchannels) into traditional optical modules to achieve efficient heat dissipation. It not only effectively reduces energy consumption. As pluggable modules scale to 400G and beyond, thermal management becomes a primary reliability constraint. This article explains contemporary thermal strategies for OSFP modules — from fin geometry tuning to detachable heatsink covers — and maps measured performance to practical deployment steps. In highly integrated environments like NVIDIA's GB200/GB300, high-speed optical modules are not only vital for data transmission but also major heat sources. The liquid cooling structure comprises a heat dissipation plate (100) and a heat conduction layer (200), wherein the heat dissipation plate (100) comprises a cooling liquid input port (110) and a cooling liquid output port. -
