  • Method and system for optimizing a laser system
    Patent number: 7058299
    Abstract: A method for optimizing an optical transmitter is provided. According to one exemplary method, the optical transmitter is optimized by varying three transmitter parameters including the bias voltage, the crossing level and the peak-to-peak voltage. Once the respective optimal levels for the bias voltage, the crossing level and the peak-to-peak voltage are obtained, the optical transmitter is further checked to ensure that the optical transmitter is able to function properly within certain predetermined system parameters. The optical transmitter is also checked under two limiting scenarios to ensure that the optical transmitter is optimized against two predetermined lengths of optical fiber.
