    摘要: A controller (110) for controlling the reverse-bias voltage of an avalanche photodiode in a transceiver or receiver. The controller (110) includes memory (120, 122, 128) for storing information related to the avalanche photodiode, and analog to digital conversion circuitry (124, 127) for receiving an analog signal corresponding to the temperature of the avalanche photodiode, converting the received analog signal into a digital value, and storing the digital value in a predefined location within the memory (128). Control circuitry (134) in the controller controls the operation of the avalanche photodiode in accordance with the digital value corresponding to the temperature of the avalanche photodiode and a temperature lookup table (122) stored in the memory. A serial interface (121) is provided to enable a host device to read from and write to locations within the memory. The invention is also implemented as a method for controlling the reverse-bias voltage of an avalanche photodiode in a transceiver or receiver and a method for calibrating a transceiver or receiver having an avalanche photodiode.

    摘要: A header assembly 700 including a base 702 and a platform 800 extending through the base 702 and substantially perpendicular thereto. The platform 800 includes conductive pathways 806 that connect electrical components on either side of the base 702, and the conductive pathways cooperate to form a connector 900 at the first end of the platform 800. A laser 1002 is mounted on top of a thermoelectric cooler 900 that is directly joined to the second end of the platform 800.The laser 1002 and thermoelectric cooler 900 are enclosed in a hermetic chamber cooperatively defined by the base 702, the platform 800, and a cap that is joined to the base 702. A photodiode 1004 optically coupled with the laser 1002 and a thermistor thermally coupled with the laser 1002 cooperate with the thermoelectric cooler 900 and a control circuit to facilitate control of the performance of the laser 1002.
