<p>Intelligent fiberoptic/laser diode (36) transmitter/controller modules (80) and methods of operating and manufacturing the same. During calibration procedures for the modules (80), a laser diode (36) is characterized over a defined operating range. Characteristic data and/or curves defining the operational characteristics of the laser diode (36) over the range of operating conditions (temperature, power supply) are stored in a non-volatile memory such as EEPROM. During operation, an embedded microcontroller (50) together with analog-to-digital converters (520), digital-to-analog converters (24) and other associated circuitry, dynamically controls the operational parameters (e.g., modulation and bias current) based on the current operating conditions (temperature, power supply).</p> |
