1. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor to generate a first electrical signal comprising first data and a second electrical signal comprising second data;
a laser to generate a multiplexed carrier signal comprising a first carrier signal and a second carrier signal, the laser to operate at a first laser power setting; and
a modulator coupled to the processor and the laser, the modulator to generate a multiplexed optical signal comprising a first optical signal based in part on the first electrical signal and the first carrier signal and a second optical signal based in part on the second electrical signal and the second carrier signal, the apparatus to transmit the multiplexed optical signal to a device and to retransmit the first data to the device based on detection of error in a received version of the first data at the device, wherein the first laser power setting is associated with a first error probability associated with transmission of data from the apparatus to the device and the error in the received version of the first data is detected following performance of error correction on the received version of the first data in accordance with the first error probability.
