Abstract
A controller () for controlling various operational parameters of the Laser Module (). The modulation drive signal () causes the circuits in the driver () to send a signal to the output () so that the laser can send an optical power output () proportional to the drive signal (). The control methods in Laser Controller IC () consist of control algorithms embedded in firmware. The Laser Controller IC () includes support circuits for control of a laser. Some of the distinguishing features in the present invention are 1) feedback information from the sensors is obtained in a synchronous manner as a snapshot of the laser performance, and 2) algorithms handle the entire set of controls in firmware. The algorithm feature allows for advanced servo controls, which precisely stabilize the laser, can accommodate adaptive controls, and can be leveraged from one laser transmitter design to another.
