Abstract:
1. A reconfigurable optoelectronic module for coupling an information system device with an optical fiber comprising: a housing including an electrical connector for coupling with an external electrical cable or information system device and for transmitting information-containing electrical signals over said electrical connector, and a fiber optical connector adapted for coupling with an external optic fiber for transmitting an optical signal; an electro-optic subassembly disposed in said housing coupled to the information system device for converting the electrical signals to modulated optical signals corresponding to the electrical signals at a predetermined wavelength; and a controller disposed in said housing for providing an electrical control signal to said electro-optic subassembly for adjusting one or more communications transmission characteristics of the modulated optical signal, wherein one of the adjusted communications transmission characteristics includes an error correction methodology.
