Optical module with parameter table

A device comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more processors configured to, individually or collectively, perform an operation comprising:
• retrieving, from an optical module connected to the device, a portion of a lookup table stored in a memory of the optical module, wherein the portion of the lookup table includes:
• a first entry indicating a first impulse response at a transmission port of the optical module and a first equalization parameter for the first impulse response;
• and
• a second entry indicating a second impulse response at the transmission port and a second equalization parameter for the second impulse response;
• and
• adjusting, by the device, an equalizer of the optical module using the retrieved portion of the lookup table.

A method comprising:

• retrieving, by a host device and from an optical module connected to the host device, a portion of a lookup table stored in a memory of the optical module, wherein the portion of the lookup table includes:
• a first entry indicating a first impulse response at a transmission port of the optical module and a first equalization parameter for the first impulse response;
• and
• a second entry indicating a second impulse response at the transmission port and a second equalization parameter for the second impulse response;
• and
• adjusting, by the host device, an equalizer of the optical module using the retrieved portion of the lookup table.
