Abstract

A method, apparatus, and system for optical communications. An optical transmit signal is generated in response to an electrical transmit signal. The optical transmit signal is coupled into a single communication link for transmission there over. An optical receive signal is received from the single communication link, and in response an electrical receive signal is generated.
