Low optical power output of optical transmitter
3 draft standards now specify the TX in terms of a minimum value for output power minus penalties. While optical communication systems provide a broad bandwidth, their relatively low power efficiency continues to limit their deployment in new applications. In one embodiment, a low-power optical transceiver may include a microcontroller and an optical receiver and an optical transmitter in communication with and controlled by the microcontroller. An optical source converts el ctrical energy (current) into optical energy (light).
