Assignee: LUMENTUM OPERATIONS LLC
Field: Optics (Instruments)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. An optical package, comprising:
a source;
an optical load to emit light when provided an input current;
a plurality of anode pads, each anode pad of the plurality of anode pads being separate from at least one other anode pad of the plurality of anode pads;
a plurality of sets of connecting elements, each of the plurality of sets of connecting elements connecting a different anode pad of the plurality of anode pads to an anode of the optical load; and
a switch having an open state and a closed state,
wherein a first circuit path is connected from the source to the switch and includes:
the plurality of anode pads, and
the plurality of sets of connecting elements,
wherein transitioning the switch from the open state to the closed state causes the plurality of sets of connecting elements to be charged through the first circuit path, and

wherein a second circuit path is connected from the source to the optical load and includes:
at least one anode pad of the plurality of anode pads, and
at least one set of connecting elements of the plurality of sets of connecting elements,
wherein transitioning the switch from the closed state to the open state causes the at least one set of connecting elements to discharge through the second circuit path to provide an electrical pulse to the optical load.
