Abstract
The present disclosure provides signal management with unequal eye spacing by: determining a dispersion slope of a channel between a transmitter and a receiver based on a temperature of the transmitter and a wavelength used by the transmitter to transmit signals over the channel; determining maximum and minimum powers for transmission over the channel; assigning a plurality of rails to a corresponding plurality of power levels, wherein amplitude differences between adjacent rails of the plurality of rails are based on the dispersion slope and produce a first eye pattern with a first Ratio of Level Mismatch (RLM) less than one; encoding, by the transmitter, data onto a conditioned signal according to the plurality of rails; and transmitting the conditioned signal over the channel, so that the conditioned signal demonstrates a second eye pattern with a second RLM greater than the first RLM when received at the receiver.
