Abstract
The amount of current provided to a laser diode of an optical network transceiver device, the power output of the optical network transceiver device, and the device temperature of the optical network transceiver device is monitored. Based at least in part on a detected fluctuation in at least one of the amount of current provided to the laser diode, the power output of the optical network transceiver device, and the device temperature of the optical network transceiver device, a determined expected life of the optical network transceiver device is dynamically adjusted.
