Abstract:
The adjustment of output power of a transmitter is described. In one embodiment, a first laser diode of a transmitter is directed to transmit a first pulse of light at a first wavelength over a fiber cable. A second laser diode of the transmitter is also directed to transmit a second pulse of light at a second wavelength over the fiber cable. An output tap of the transmitter is monitored to detect a first timing of a first reflection event on the fiber cable, and the output tap of the transmitter is also monitored to detect a second timing of a second reflection event on the fiber cable. An output power of the first laser diode is tuned or adjusted based on the first timing, and an output power of the second laser diode is tuned or adjusted based on the second timing.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein:\n tuning the output power of the first laser diode comprises reducing at least one of a bias voltage or a modulation voltage supplied to at least one of the first laser diode or an optical modulator for the first laser diode; and tuning the output power of the second laser diode comprises reducing at least one of a bias voltage or a modulation voltage supplied to at least one of the second laser diode or an optical modulator for the second laser diode.
