More Information
Summary:An optical communication system includes an optical module and a host. The optical module has a fiber connector and a laser condition pin, wherein the fiber connector is configured to connect to a laser output of an external laser source. The optical module is configured to set an output of the laser condition pin to have a first value when detecting a laser beam through the fiber connector. The host is connected to the laser condition pin and has a control connector, wherein the control connector is configured to connect to the external laser source. The host is configured to output a release signal through the control connector when detecting the first value on the laser condition pin, wherein the release signal changes the laser output from outputting a laser beam having a first power to outputting a laser beam having a second power higher than the first power.
