OPERATING VERTICAL-CAVITY SURFACE-EMITTING LASERS

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for operating a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser. Operating a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser can include receiving an optical signal from a transmitter, converting the optical signal to a waveform, generating a read capture window based on the waveform, sampling data at a first position in the read capture window, sampling data at a second position in the read capture window, and sending a signal to the transmitter to increase a power level of the optical signal in response to a difference between the sampled data at the first position and the sampled data at the second position exceeding a threshold.
