Abstract
A transmitter is disclosed as being configured to encode optical signals in accordance with a multi-level coding scheme. The transmitter includes an Integrated Circuit architecture and partition that relaxes the bandwidth and linearity constraints of a gearbox-to-laser driver interface. In the proposed architecture, the gearbox Integrated Circuit aligns two or more digital data streams and transmits the aligned two or more data streams to the laser driver via separate signals.
