ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods for noise-feedback controlled optical systems are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a receiver adapted to receive an optical signal and to convert the optical signal to a corresponding electrical signal, and a control circuit coupled to the receiver. The control circuit includes a monitoring component adapted to monitor a noise level of at least a portion of the electrical signal and to adjust a gain of the receiver based on the noise level. In an alternate aspect, an optical system includes a transmitter, a receiver, and a monitoring component adapted to monitor a noise level of at least a portion of the electrical signal and to adjust at least one of an amplification of the transmitter and a gain of the receiver based on the noise level.
