Abstract
Optical modules for use with a host system. In one example embodiment, a method for tapping an optical network includes connecting one or more optical modules to a host device, providing one or more post amplifiers, and controlling each of the one or more optical modules and the one or more post amplifiers with a microprocessor that is integrated with the host device. In this example method, the one or more optical modules include at least one optical module with a plurality of ROSAs and the post amplifiers amplify electrical signals generated by the ROSAs.
