I'm starting to understand laser driver (especially Maxim laser driver). I'm having a hard time to understand why we have IL = IBIAS + IMOD/2 when optical high output and IL=IBIAS-IMOD/2 when optical low output. (IBIAS and IMOD are constant current sources). I've also attached the article that you can find the basic details about interfacing with Maxim laser driver.
