Abstract
A method () includes delivering a first bias current (I) to an anode of gain-section diode () and delivering a second bias current (I) to an anode of a phase-section diode (). The method also includes receiving a burst mode signal () indicative of a burst-on state or a burst-on state, and sinking a first sink current (I) away from the first bias current when the burst mode signal is indicative of the burst-off state. When the burst mode signal transitions to be indicative of the burst-on state from the burst-off state, the method also includes sinking a second sink current away from the second bias current at the anode of the phase-section diode and ceasing the sinking of the first sink current away from the first bias current at the anode of the gain section diode.
