Abstract:
An example embodiment includes an optoelectronic module. The optoelectronic module may be configured to transmit out-of-band (OOB) data as an average optical power difference between optical signals. The optoelectronic module may include a first optical source, a second optical source, and an optical power control device. The first optical source may be configured to generate a first optical signal including first channel payload data on a first optical channel. The second optical source may be configured to generate a second optical signal including second channel payload data on a second optical channel. The optical power control device may be configured to vary average optical powers of one or more of the first optical signal and the second optical signal to create an average optical power difference between the first optical signal and the second optical signal that is representative of a logical bit of the OOB data.

Claim (Index 1):
An optoelectronic module comprising:\n a first optical transmitter configured to generate a first optical signal including first payload data on a first optical channel, the first optical signal including a substantially constant average power; a second optical transmitter configured to generate a second optical signal including second payload data on a second optical channel, the second optical signal including a varying average power; and an optical power control device configured to control the second optical transmitter relative to the first optical transmitter for transmission of out-of-band (OOB) data as an OOB differential signal via the first optical channel and the second optical channel, the OOB differential signal including a first bit of the OOB data that is represented by an optical power of the second optical signal being greater than an optical power of the first optical signal and a second bit of the OOB data that is represented by the optical power of the second optical signal being less than the optical power of the first optical signal.
