Abstract: An optical or an optoelectronic device and methods are provided for data transmission across two interconnects. First, an electrical signal is obtained from an interconnect. Next, the electrical signal is modulated. Within the modulated electrical signal, an occurrence of a transition is determined, in which a change in a power of the electrical signal by more than a threshold amount. In response to the determination of the occurrence of the transition, coefficients indicative of respective amounts of compensation to resolve or mitigate nonlinearities associated with the transition are determined. According to the coefficients, a filter is applied in a vicinity of the transition to obtain a modified electrical signal. The modified electrical signal is converted into an optical signal and coupled to a fiber to transmit the optical signal to a destination at a second interconnect.

Abstract: An optical emitter includes a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL), an equalization circuit coupled to the VCSEL; and a current source coupled to the VCSEL and the equalization circuit. The equalization circuit is configured to divert a first current from the current source to the VCSEL at a first data frequency and divert a second current greater than the first current from the current source to the VCSEL at a second data frequency higher than the first data frequency.
