In one embodiment of a superluminescent diode, a first diode adapted on a semiconductor die is to be forward-biased to output optical energy in response to a bias signal, and a second diode adapted on the semiconductor die is to be reverse-biased, the second diode to receive and absorb back propagating optical energy from the first diode and output a measure of the back propagating optical energy as an absorber feedback current. A comparator may be configured to compare the absorber feedback current to a reference current and output a comparison signal, and a driver control circuit coupled to the comparator may provide the bias signal based at least in part on the comparison signal. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
