Embodiments pertain to an optical transmitter, including a thermally unregulated light emitting device and a sloped or graded passband filter. The light emitting device is configured to receive a bias current and output an optical signal within a wavelength band. The sloped or graded passband filter is configured to attenuate an output power of the optical signal in the wavelength band. The light emitting device has a maximum bias current limit, a maximum operating temperature limit, and maximum and minimum output power limits, and the sloped or graded passband filter has an insertion loss in the wavelength band that decreases as the light emitting device temperature increases and/or the optical signal wavelength increases within the wavelength band. The attenuated optical signal is within the maximum and minimum output power limits when the bias current is at or below the maximum bias current limit and the light emitting device outputs the optical signal at or below the maximum operating temperature limit.
