Many different forms of optical modulation and multiplexing have been employed in optical modules. The most common modulation technique historically has been on-off keying or NRZ. Pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM-4) has also been extensively used. In the 2010s, coherent optical modulation has been used. Techniques include Dual Polarization Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DP-QPSK) and QAM-16.
An optical module is mainly composed of optoelectronic devices (including the optical transmitter and optical receiver), functional circuitry, and optical interfaces.
It mainly consists of optoelectronic devices (optical transmitter and optical receiver), functional circuits, and optical bores. Its main function is to convert between electrical and optical
