The present invention relates to a transmitter and a transmission system for optical communications that include multiplexing of light sources that transmit data and protocol negotiation signals in series to enable binary pulse modulation with miniaturized components. The mounting of two different light sources (e.g., VCSELs) in anti-parallel enables multiplexing functionality while only the encapsulation of two electrodes is required without further inclusion of Zener diodes, resulting in miniaturization and cost reduction. 本发明涉及一种用于光学通信的发射机和发射系统，该发射机和发射系统包括串行发射数据和协议协商信号的光源的多路复用，以实现具有小型化组件的二进制脉冲调制。反平行安装两个不同的光源(例如VCSEL)实现多路复用功能，同时仅需要两个电极的封装而无需进一步包括齐纳二极管，从而导致小型化和成本降低。
