A pluggable small form factor optical transmitter is described. The optical transmitter can be plugged into an optical transmission unit which may hold many optical transmitters. The optical transmitter includes an analog laser for QAM transmissions, a TEC driver, pre-distortion circuitry, a microprocessor, and an automatic power control circuit and dither tone level control capability. The optical transmitter may have receptacle optical ports such as LC or SC type, also it may include a pin connector for mating with the optical transmission unit and a latch mechanism to secure the optical transmitter in the optical transmission unit.
