Abstract: This application provides a light source module, an optical communications board, and an optical communications system. The light source module includes a light source emission module configured to emit a laser and a housing configured to protect the light source emission module. The light source emission module is connected to a first connector and a second connector, the first connector is an optical signal connector, and the second connector is an electrical signal connector. When the first connector and the second connector are specifically disposed, the first connector and the second connector are located on a same side of the housing. In addition, both the first connector and the second connector are pluggable connectors. When being connected to a backplane, the first connector and the second connector may be separately connected to a board body in a pluggable manner.

Abstract: This application provides an example light source switching apparatus. The apparatus includes first and second multi-mode interference (MMI) couplers, and a phase modulator. The first MMI coupler includes four ports, where first and second ports are located on one side, and third and fourth ports are located on the other side. The second MMI coupler includes three ports, where fifth and sixth ports are located on one side, and a seventh port is located on the other side. The first and the second ports connect to the fifth and the sixth ports, respectively, to form two connections. The phase modulator is disposed on one of the two connections, and the seventh port connects to an optical modulator. Both the third and the fourth ports connect to a light source emitting continuous light, and the phase modulator selects one of the two light sources for output from the seventh port.
