A method for making a laser driver circuit for burst mode is described. A
continuous mode laser driver circuit can be used in burst mode
transmission system by using the method. The method is described as
follows. First, a continuous mode laser driver chip is selected, the chip
has a temperature compensation output and a pulse width adjustment input.
Next, the temperature compensation signal from the temperature
compensation output is converted to a pulse width adjustment signal using
an eye diagram adjustment circuit, and the pulse width adjustment signal
is sent to the pulse width adjustment input. The pulse width adjustment
signal automatically adjusts the cross points of the eye diagram of the
laser according to the environmental temperature, so that the cross
points are sustained at a predetermined level to reduce the Bit Error
Rate.
