Claim Text:
1. An apparatus, comprising: an input to receive an electrical signal; an optical transmitter module to control turning on and turning off of a light source based on the electrical signal, the light source to launch a pulsed on/off optical signal via an optical communication link; and wherein: the optical transmitter module to analyze the electrical signal; and based on the analysis of the electrical signal during a plurality of turn-on epochs, such that each of the plurality of turn-on epochs corresponds to a respective one of a plurality of operational states corresponding to transition of the optical transmitter module from off-state to steady-state with at least one additional operational state there between, in accordance with a plurality of turn-on parameters and based on the analysis of the electrical signal during a plurality of turn-off epochs in accordance with a plurality of turn-off parameters, the optical transmitter module selectively to turn on and to turn off the light source to launch the pulsed on/off optical signal via the optical communication link.
