Abstract
The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for low-power optical transceivers. In one embodiment, a low-power optical transceiver may include a microcontroller and an optical receiver and an optical transmitter in communication with and controlled by the microcontroller. The optical receiver may include a photodetector configured to receive a first optical representation of a first signal to be received and to generate an electrical representation of the first signal. An amplifier may amplify the electrical representation of the first signal, and an output in electrical communication with the amplifier may generate an electrical output. The optical transmitter may include a laser diode configured to generate a second optical representation of a second signal to be transmitted. The microcontroller may be configured to control an output power of the laser diode.
