Abstract
An optoelectronic configuration method is provided. The method includes determining a baseline link budget value for the VCSEL. The method applies a constant input value to a VCSEL and monitors the output of the VCSEL. The method calculates a first link budget value from the inputs and outputs of the VCSEL and compares the first link budget value with the baseline link budget value to determine either a pass state of the VCSEL or a fail state of the VCSEL. If a fail state of the VCSEL is determined, the method may iteratively apply modified inputs to the VCSEL until the desired relationship between the first link budget value and the baseline link budget value is obtained.
