Abstract
An optical receiver for a pulsed TEA laser output. The output has a high-amplitude portion followed by a lower amplitude tail; information is modulated onto the tail. For the high-amplitude output portion, a photodetector in the receiver is biased to low sensitivity; during the tail of the laser, the bias is increased to increase the photodetector sensitivity.
