Abstract
A communication interface comprising a host with non-linear equalizers configured to perform non-linear equalization. Also part of the interface is a host to optic module channel electrically connecting the host to an optic module and the optic module. The optic module comprises a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter includes a linear equalizer and an electrical to optical module configured to convert the equalized signal from the driver to an optical signal, and transmit the optical signal over a fiber optic cable, such that the transmitter does not perform non-linear processing. The receiver includes a photodetector, configured to convert the received optic signal to a received electrical signal, and a linear amplifier configured to perform linear amplification on the received electrical signal. A driver sends the amplified received signal over an optic module to host channel, such that the receive does not perform non-linear processing.
