A dual-rate power point compensating circuit, comprising a microprocessor and a transmitter optical subsystem assembly (TOSA), wherein the TOSA includes a laser connected to a laser driver, a monitor photodiode (MPD) connected to the laser driver, and a current divider connected to the microprocessor and the MPD. When a feedback current from the MPD exceeds the adjustable and/or operating range of the laser driver, the feedback current is reduced so that it is kept in the adjustable and/or operating range of the laser driver. The laser driver determines the optical output power of the laser from the value of the reduced feedback current. The circuit and method extend the adjustable and/or operating range of a laser driver and enable it to regulate a target optical output power of the laser with a broad testing range and high accuracy when the feedback current is relatively high.
