ABSTRACT:
An optical transceiver module configured for longwave optical transmission is disclosed. Significantly, the transceiver module utilizes components formerly used only for shortwave optical transmission, thereby reducing new component production and device complexity. In one embodiment, the transceiver module includes a transmitter optical subassembly including a laser capable of producing an optical signal. A consolidated laser driver/post amplifier including a first bias current source provides a bias current to the laser for producing the optical signal. A means for amplifying the bias current provided to the laser by the first bias current source is also included as a separate component from the laser driver/post amplifier. The means for amplifying in one embodiment is a field-effect transistor that is operably connected to the laser driver/post amplifier and configured to provide an additional bias current to the laser diode such that sufficient lasing operation of the laser is realized.
