Methods, apparatus and systems for optimizing the sensitivity, extinction ratio and EMI of long-distance optical modules

Abstract

This invention relates to a method, apparatus, and system for optimizing the sensitivity, extinction ratio, and EMI of long-distance optical modules. The method mainly includes: detecting the output sensitivity of the optical module at different temperatures; compensating and adjusting the voff voltage based on the sensitivity shift at different temperatures; after compensating and adjusting the voff voltage, compensating and adjusting the bias current based on the optical power shift at different temperatures; detecting the output extinction ratio of the optical module at different temperatures; compensating and adjusting the Vmod voltage based on the extinction ratio shift at different temperatures; detecting the EMI of the optical module at different temperatures; if the EMI is unqualified, compensating and adjusting the Vmod voltage; if the EMI is still unqualified after multiple compensation and adjustments of the Vmod voltage, compensating and adjusting the RX amplitude voltage and RX pre-emphasis voltage to ensure that the sensitivity, extinction ratio, and EMI of the optical module are all qualified. This invention can optimize the sensitivity and extinction ratio of the optical module to the optimal value at various temperatures while ensuring EMI compliance.
