A current DAC, a voltage DAC, or a resistor, connected from this pin to ground, sets the desired bias
current for the laser (see the Programming the Laser Modulation Current section).
Bias Current Monitor Output. Current out of this pin develops a ground-referenced voltage across an
external resistor that is proportional to the bias current.
