Patent ID: 7769297

Claim:
An electro-optic system comprising: a first transmitter, having a differential electrical input including a first transmitter input and a second inverted transmitter input, for transmitting an optical signal at a first wavelength; a second transmitter, having a differential electrical input including a third transmitter input and a fourth inverted transmitter input, for transmitting an optical signal at a second wavelength different than the first wavelength; a serializer for converting parallel data from a host device into serial data, having a differential electrical output including a first transmitter output and a second inverted transmitter output, wherein the first transmitter output of the serializer is connected to the first transmitter input, and the second inverted transmitter output of the serializer is connected to the third transmitter input; and first inversion means for inverting data passing between the second inverted transmitter output and the third transmitter input.
