Abstract: A method (700) of biasing a tunable laser (310) during burst-on and burst-off states includes receiving a burst mode signal (514) indicative of the burst-on state or the burst-off state and when the burst mode signal is indicative of the burst-on state: delivering a first bias current (IGAIN) to an anode of a gain-section diode (590a) disposed on a shared substrate of the tunable laser; and delivering a second bias current (IPH) to an anode of phase-section diode (590b) disposed on the shared substrate. The second bias current is less than the first bias current. When the burst mode signal transitions to be indicative of the burst-off state, the method also includes delivering the first bias current to the anode of the gain-section diode; and delivering the second bias current to the anode of the phase-section diode wherein the first bias current is less than the second bias current.

Abstract: A method (600) for tuning a tunable laser (310) includes delivering a bias current (IDBR) to an anode of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) section diode (D2) disposed on a shared substrate of the tunable laser and receiving a burst mode signal (440) indicative of a burst-on state or a burst-off state. When the burst mode signal is indicative of the burst-off state, the method includes offsetting the bias current at the anode of the DBR section diode by one of sourcing a push current with the bias current to the anode of the DBR section diode or sinking a pull current away from the bias current at the anode of the DBR section diode. When the burst mode signal is indicative of the burst-on state, the method also includes ceasing any offsetting of the bias current at the anode of the DBR section diode.

Abstract: A method (900) includes a gain current (IGAIN) to an anode of a gain-section diode (D0) disposed on a shared substrate of a tunable laser (310), delivering a modulation signal to an anode of an Electro-absorption section diode (D2) disposed on the shared substrate of the tunable laser, and receiving a burst mode signal (330) indicative of a burst-on state or a burst-off state. When the burst mode signal is indicative of the burst-off state, the method includes sinking a sink current (ISINK) away from the gain current at the anode of the gain-section diode. When the burst mode signal transitions to be indicative of the burst-on state from the burst-off state, the method includes ceasing the sinking of the sink current away from the gain current and delivering an overshoot current (IOVER) to the anode of the gain-section diode.

Abstract: A method of combining optical signals from a plurality of optical fibers into a single optical signal includes receiving, at corresponding optical-signal receivers optically coupled to corresponding trunk fibers, respective optical signals. The method further includes determining, by the corresponding optical-signal receivers, when each respective optical signal is received. When the respective optical signal is received, the method includes performing the following steps: converting, by the corresponding optical-signal receiver, the respective optical signal to a corresponding electrical signal; transmitting, by the corresponding optical-signal receiver, the corresponding electrical signal to a corresponding input channel of an electrical-multiplexing device; and configuring the electrical-multiplexing device to select the corresponding input channel. Configuring the electrical-multiplexing device to select the corresponding input channel causes the electrical-multiplexing device to transmit the corresponding electrical signal to an electro-optical converter configured to convert the corresponding electrical signal back to the respective optical signal.
