Abstract: This invention relates to a transmitter and transmission system for optical communication that comprises multiplexing of light sources with serial emission of data and protocol negotiation signals to enable binary pulse modulation with miniaturized components. Mounting two different light sources (e.g., VCSELs) antiparallel enables multiplexing functionality while requiring only a two-electrodes package without further inclusion of Zener diodes, resulting in miniaturization and cost reduction.
