Abstract:
A transceiver can include a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter can include: a primary laser emitter; a primary monitor photodiode optically coupled with the laser emitter; a spare laser emitter; and a transmitter integrated circuit having a primary channel operably coupled with the primary laser emitter; a spare channel operably coupled with the spare laser emitter; a switch on the primary channel; and a secondary channel operably coupled with the switch and the spare channel. The receiver can include: a primary detector photodiode; a spare detector photodiode; and a receiver integrated circuit a primary receiver channel operably coupled with the at least one primary detector photodiode; a spare receiver channel operably coupled with the spare detector photodiode; a receiver switch on the spare receiver channel; and a secondary receiver channel operably coupled with the receiver switch and the primary receiver channel.

Claim (Index 2):
A method for using a spare communication link in optical communications, the method comprising:\n determining a communication error such that an electrical first data stream is not being received by a first receiver host channel that is operably coupled to a first primary detector photodiode through a first primary receiver channel, wherein the first primary detector photodiode is optically coupled through a first data link to a first primary laser emitter that is operably coupled to a first transmitter host channel through a first primary channel; switching a first switch on the first primary channel that is operably coupled with the first primary laser emitter so that the electrical first data stream passes from the first primary channel through the switched first switch through a first secondary channel to a spare channel that is operably coupled with a spare laser emitter; transmitting an optical first data stream that corresponds to the electrical first data stream from the spare laser emitter though a spare data link to a spare detector photodiode, the spare detector photodiode being operably coupled with a spare receiver channel; and switching a receiver switch on the spare receiver channel so that the first electrical data stream passes from the spare receiver channel through the switched receiver switch through a first secondary receiver channel to the first receiver channel and then through the first receiver host channel.
