Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure pertain to an optical transmitter comprising a laser configured to generate an optical signal from a single-ended electrical signal, a housing or (sub)assembly containing the laser, a driver configured to generate the single-ended electrical signal, a direct current (DC) return path, and an alternating current (AC) return path. The laser has a DC power pin, and the DC power has a DC component and an AC component. The driver has a first impedance at a first output through which the single-ended electrical signal passes. The housing or (sub)assembly has a second impedance matching the first impedance. The DC return path comprises an inductor and is configured to carry or conduct the DC component of the DC power from the laser (e.g., to an input pin on the driver). The AC return path is configured to carry or conduct the AC component of the DC power from the laser. Methods of using and manufacturing the same are also disclosed.
