Abstract
An optical communication device may include a driver component, arranged to achieve a driving voltage, and a modulator component, including a laser or arranged to receive light from a laser. The modulator component may be arranged to achieve a modulated light signal modulated based on the driving voltage. The device may include a transmission line arranged to transfer the driving voltage between the driver component and the modulator component. The transmission line may not impedance matched to the driver component, the transmission line may have an impedance which is at least 20% lower than an output impedance of the driver component, and the transmission line may be impedance matched with respect to signal reflections to the modulator component.
