As for integrated electro-optical hardware that does coherent optics, I&#x27;d like to point at SFP optics; the ones that are sufficiently non-fancy with their electronics (up to 10km single-mode optics; no high-end-multimode optics; no exotic coherent optics) should not have a retimer on the RX side. Once you go to 1-Gbit/s transceivers you&#x27;ll find ones with a linear RX stage; those should be suitable for rigging simple homodyne interferometry by just feeding…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2011.05313/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
