Abstract
An optical signal generation system for multi-level optical signal generation using binary keying comprises an array of light sources, a control circuit, and an optical coupling mechanism. The system may be operable to configure, using the control circuit, each of the light sources in the array of light sources in a HIGH or LOW state base on a received input signal to generate a plurality of optical output signals. The plurality of optical output signals may be communicated to the optical coupling mechanism and combined into a single optical signal thereby generating a multi-level output signal representative of the received input signal. The multi-level output signal may comprise a Pulse Amplitude Modulated (PAM) equivalent signal. The array of light sources may comprise vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs), edge-emitting lasers, or light emitting diodes (LEDs).
