A method of controlling a laser driver includes determining a set of timing parameters in response to contents of a received bit stream. The method further includes creating a plurality of sets of pulse defining parameters in response to the set of timing parameters, and generating a plurality of generic pulses in response to the plurality of sets of pulse defining parameters. The method also includes combining the plurality of generic pulses into a plurality of enable signals, and creating a plurality of adapted enable signals by selectively replacing one of the plurality of enable signals with an alternative signal. The method further includes outputting the plurality of adapted enable signals to the laser driver.
