The average optical power represents the intensity of light emitted by the optical module's transmitter under normal operation. It is influenced by the proportion of "1"s in the transmitted data signal: more "1"s result in higher optical power. When transmitting a pseudo-random sequence with roughly equal "1"s and "0"s, the measured power is considered the average optical power, expressed in watts (W), milliwatts (mW), or decibels-milliwatts (dBm). Linear units (W, mW) indicate absolute power, while dBm is a logarithmic unit commonly used in communications to represent optical power .
The extinction ratio is the ratio of the optical power when transmitting all "1"s to the power when transmitting all "0"s. It reflects the laser's ability to distinguish between logical "1" and "0" signals, serving as a measure of the transmitter's efficiency. Typical minimum extinction ratios range from 8.2 dB to 10 dB .
The Transmitter Optical Sub-Assembly (TOSA) is responsible for light emission. It usually contains a laser diode (LD) or LED, an optical interface, a monitoring photodiode, and a driver circuit. The driver chip modulates the light source according to the input electrical signal, producing a modulated optical signal at the corresponding bit rate. An automatic power control (APC) circuit ensures stable output power .
