Abstract
Methods, architectures, circuits, and/or systems for tracking variations in the operating parameters of an optical or optoelectronic device are disclosed, as well as use of such variation data to monitor or control device functions and/or generate warnings and/or status flags. A method of tracking a variation in one or more operating parameters in an optical or optoelectronic device may include (i) monitoring one or more operating parameters of the device over time to determine values for each of the operating parameters, (ii) calculating the variation in each of the operating parameters as a function of time, (iii) comparing the variation to one or more predetermined thresholds, each threshold corresponding to an operational warning or alarm, and (iv) generating the operational warning or alarm when the variation exceeds the corresponding threshold.
