Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a differential drive circuit. The differential drive circuit generally includes a differential driver, a first transmission line coupled to a first output node of the differential driver, and a second transmission line coupled to a second output node of the differential driver. A laser diode is coupled to the first and second transmission lines. The first and second transmission lines have different delays, lengths, or impedances. In some embodiments, the delay between the first transmission line and the second transmission line is 0.2-0.4 times a rise time or fall time of a signal on either transmission line.
