ʻO ka ʻōpona ʻōpika ua haku ʻia me nā mea hana optoelectronic, nā kaapuni hana a me nā interface optical.Loaʻa i ka mea optoelectronic nā ʻāpana ʻelua: hoʻouna a loaʻa.ʻO ka'ōlelo maʻalahi,ʻo ka hana o ka module optical ka hoʻololiʻana i ka hōʻailona uila i kahi hōʻailona maʻamau i ka hopena o ka hoʻounaʻana, a ma hope o ka hoʻounaʻiaʻana ma o ka fiber optical, hoʻololi ka hopena i ka hōʻailona opi i kahi hōʻailona uila. Hoʻohana ʻia ka module optical no ka mea lawe lawe ma waena o ka hoʻololi a me ka mea hana, a ʻo ia ka mea nui i ka ʻōnaehana kamaʻilio fiber optical.ʻO ka hana nui ʻo ia ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka hōʻailona uila o ka hāmeʻa i kahi hōʻailona optical.
