APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR MODIFYING OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES

摘要

Systems, devices and methods are disclosed for adjusting the operating characteristic of an optical signal transmitted by an optoelectronic device based on the operational data rate, as is indicated by a `rate select' signal. The rate select can be generated automatically, or can be transmitted from a host device. One example of an operating characteristic that can be adjusted is the optical modulation level of the transmitted signal.
