Abstract
A high dynamic range integrated (HDRI) receiver includes a variable optical attenuator (VOA) for attenuating an incoming optical signal before the optical signal is directed to a photo-detector for conversion into an electrical signal. An optical block receives the optical signal from an optical fiber and includes optics for directing the optical signal to the VOA, and for directing the optical signal from the VOA to the photo-detector.
