Avalanche photodiode bias control in passive optical networks
Abstract:
An apparatus comprising a receiver optical subassembly (ROSA) configured to receive an optical signal, wherein the ROSA comprises an optical-electrical (O/E) converter configured to convert the optical signal into an electrical signal, and a processor coupled to the ROSA and configured to calibrate an O/E converter bias, wherein calibrating the O/E converter bias comprises reading an initial O/E converter dark current measurement, adjusting the O/E converter bias with a voltage step, reading an adjusted O/E converter dark current measurement after the voltage step adjustment, and monitoring an O/E converter dark current change rate by subtracting the initial O/E converter dark current measurement from the adjusted O/E converter dark current measurement.
