4. A laser diode has maximum average output power of 1 mW. The laser amplitude modulated with a signal x(t) that has a dc component of 0.2 and periodic component of
2.56. If the relationship between the optical power to driving current is P (t) = i(t)/10,
find the values of Io and m if the modulating current is i(t) = Io [1 + mx(t)]. What is
the peak value of i(t)? What is the minimum value of i(t)? To avoid clipping distortion,
what should the smallest/largest value of the laser threshold current?
