Abstract:
1. A fiber optic communication system comprising: a first fiber optic device configured to transmit a fiber optic signal having a signal strength; and a second fiber optic device in fiber optic communication with said first fiber optic device and configured to receive the fiber optic signal from said first fiber optic device, wherein the second fiber optic device is configured to receive the fiber optic signal within a first predetermined signal strength range defined by a saturation rate and a sensitivity rate of the second fiber optic device; wherein said second fiber optic device includes an adjustment circuit configured to automatically and iteratively adjust the fiber optic signal to be within a second predetermined signal strength range defined by the first predetermined signal strength range reduced by a predetermined margin when the fiber optic signal is received at the second fiber optic device outside of the first or second predetermined signal strength range, and to accept and output the fiber optic signal after the fiber optic signal is within the second predetermined signal strength range; wherein said adjustment circuit is configured to automatically and iteratively adjust the fiber optic signal by: wherein the adjustment circuit is configured to transmit the fiber optic signal without adjustment if the fiber optic signal is received within one of the first predetermined signal strength range and the second predetermined signal strength range; and wherein said second fiber optic device is configured to measure the signal strength of the fiber optic signal prior to the fiber optic signal passing through the adjustment circuit.
