:: What are fiber optic transmitters?

Optical transmitters generate the light signals carried by a fiber optic communication system. a transmitter includes a light source but also includes signal generation circuit and components such as an electro-optic modulator.

The transmitter contains electronics that modulate the light source. At low speeds, the transmitter directly modulates light emission by varying the drive current to the light source. But the transmitter need…
