Abstract
A semiconductor-based optical transceiver. The optical transceiver includes a post-amplifier that may communicate with an optoelectronic transducer, an electro-optic transducer driver that may communicate with an electro-optic transducer, and a control module that controls the operation of the post-amplifier and electro-optic transducer driver. The control module, the post-amplifier, and the electro-optic transducer driver are integrated in a single integrated circuit (IC) that does not require a printed circuit board for interconnecting these components of the optical transceiver.
