    摘要: A laser module includes one or more connectors and a laser source. The one or more connectors are configured to receive electrical power from, and to output a light beam to, a panel of a system. The laser source is configured to (i) be powered by the electrical power, and (ii) produce the light beam using the electrical power. The one or more connectors and the laser source are detachable from the panel, and when detached from the panel, the laser source is not powered by the electrical power.

    摘要: Embodiments are disclosed for generating a lookup table value for calibrating a lookup table circuit in an optical transmitter. The example method includes generating a calibration signal. The calibration signal encodes a plurality of bits in a number of amplitude levels. The example method further includes transmitting the calibration signal to a module under calibration and transmitting a symbol sequence of defined length to a reference module. The reference module compares the symbol sequence with a distorted signal received from the module under calibration to generate a set of condition count statistics. The example method further includes receiving the set of condition count statistics from the receiver in the reference module and calculating a lookup table value based on the set of condition count statistics. The example method further includes transmitting the lookup table value to a transmitter associated with the module under calibration.

    摘要: Assemblies and methods are described that provide for monitoring output from light emitting sources, such as vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. In particular, the assembly includes an array of light emitting sources, an array of lenses, an array of photodiodes, and a controller. The light is emitted by the array of light emitting sources, which in turn is configured to emit light towards the array of lenses. A photo-induced current is generated at the array of photodiodes, which is arranged to receive light reflected off of the array of lenses. The assembly determines a change in operational status of one or more of the light emitting sources based on the photo-induced currents.

    摘要: An Integrated Circuit (IC) includes a digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) circuit and DPLL Diagnostics circuitry (DPLL-DC). The DPLL circuit includes an oscillator, a digital phase detector and a digital feedback bus (DPLL-DFB). The oscillator is configured to generate an output signal. The digital phase detector is configured to generate a digital feedback signal indicative of a phase difference between the output signal and a reference input signal. The DPLL-DFB is configured to feed-back the digital feedback signal for controlling the oscillator. The DPLL-DC is coupled to the DPLL-DFB and is configured to monitor events depending at least on the digital feedback signal transferred on the DPLL-DFB.
