Patent attributes
A pluggable optical module includes a pluggable electric connector, a control unit, an optical signal output unit, and a pluggable optical receptor. The pluggable electric connector can communicate a modulation signal and a control signal with an optical communication apparatus. The optical signal output unit outputs an optical signal modulated by the modulation scheme by the control signal in response to the modulation signal. The pluggable optical receptor is configured in such a manner that an optical fiber is insertable into and removable from the pluggable optical receptor. The pluggable optical receptor can output the optical signal output from the optical signal output unit. The control unit controls the optical signal output unit to output the optical signal of a modulation amplitude set corresponding to the modulation signal in the modulation scheme specified by the control signal.
