Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to optoelectronic transceivers with power management. An optoelectronic device may include a photodetector, a loss of signal (LOS) detector coupled with the photodetector, and a re-timer coupled with the LOS detector, wherein a component of the re-timer is to be disabled in response to a detection by the LOS detector that an optical signal has not been received for a predetermined time period. In some embodiments, the LOS detector is coupled with a driver disable input of the re-timer and a driver component of the re-timer is to be disabled. In some embodiments, a clock data recovery circuit, a transmit module re-timer and modulator, and/or a laser may be disabled. In various embodiments, components may be re-enabled in response to detection that an optical signal is being received and/or an electrical signal is received for optical transmission. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
