Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for operating a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser. Operating a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser can include sending a signal to a driver to decrease an optical power of a vertical cavity surface emitting laser transmitter, and sending a signal to the driver associated with increasing the optical power by a particular amount in response to determining that the optical power is insufficient for reception by a receiver.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A method for operating a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser, comprising: sending a signal to a driver to decrease an optical power of a vertical cavity surface emitting laser transmitter; and sending a signal to the driver associated with increasing the optical power by a particular amount in response to determining that the optical power is insufficient for reception by a receiver, wherein the particular amount is selected based, at least in part, on an…
