Abstract:
1. An optical transceiver module, comprising an optical-to-electrical converter configured to convert a first optical signal to a first electric signal; a first amplifier configured to amplify the first electric signal; a bandwidth controller coupled to the first amplifier, configured to control the frequency response characteristics of the amplification of the first amplifier to produce a first amplified electric signal; a driver circuit configured to receive a second electric signal and to produce a second amplified electric signal in response to the second electric signal and an optical feedback signal; an electrical-to-optical converter configured to convert the second amplified electrical signal to a second optical signal; and a photo diode configured to detect the second optical signal and to produce the optical feedback signal to be received by the driver circuit, and an electrical interface configured to receive the second electrical signal and output the first amplified electrical signal, wherein the electrical interface comprises a Physical Media Attachment block (PMA) coupled to the first amplifier and the driver circuit, and configured to receive the first amplified electrical signal from the first amplifier and to transmit the second electrical signal to the driver circuit.
