Signal detection and information conveyance over optical fiber

A signaling system, comprising:

• a first transimpedance amplifier (TIA) driver;
• a first driver configured to receive a signal from the first TIA driver;
• a second TIA driver connected via a fiber optic cable to the first driver;
• a second driver configured to receive a signal from the second TIA driver;
• wherein the a first driver is configured to pulse at a first defined frequency level when a first signal from the first TIA indicates that an impedance level of a component satisfies a defined impedance level;
• wherein the second TIA, based on a second determination that a number of pulses received at the first defined frequency level satisfy a defined number of pulses and at least one defined criterion, is configured to send a second signal to a second driver that causes a second impedance level of the second driver to match the defined impedance level, and causes the second driver to enter an electrical idle state;
• and
• a transmitter that, based on the second impedance level of the second driver matching the defined impedance level, is configured to transmit high-speed data to the component, wherein the high-speed data is transmitted at a second defined frequency level, via an optical fiber link.
