An electro-optic interface system configured to communicate, via an optical channel, an electronic signal between a fist and second electronic system includes a first electro-optic transceiver, an optical channel and a second electro-optic transceiver. The first electro-optic transceiver includes a signal port coupled to the first electronic system and an output coupled to the optical channel and includes a first transceiver emulator circuit, and a first transceiver laser. The first transceiver emulator circuit is configured to receive an electronic signal comprising parallel data from the fast electronic system and, in response, produces the serialized data. The first transceiver laser produces a first modulated output signal corresponding to the electronic signal communicated from the first electronic system. The second electro-optic transceiver includes a first port coupled to the optical channel and a second port coupled to the second electronic system. The second transceiver includes a second transceiver photodetector, and a second transceiver emulator circuit.

1. An electro-optic transceiver configured to communicate signals between an electronic system and an optical system, having an electro-optic interface comprising:a test system switch having a signal port configured to communicate electronic signals between the test system switch and the electronic system, a control input configured to receive a switch control signal, a first signal output, and a first signal input; a laser having an input coupled to the first signal output of the test system switch and an optical output coupled to the optical system; and a photodetector having an optical input coupled to the optical system and an output coupled to the first signal input of the test system switch, the photodetector configured to receive a first optical signal from the optical system and in response produce a received signal, wherein the test system switch, responsive to the switch control signal, couples the electronic signal to the laser input to produce a first modulated output signal, thereby communicating the electronic signal from the electronic system to the optical system, or couples the received signal to the electronic system, thereby communicating the optical signal from the optical system to the electronic system.
