Abstract:
An optical source may include an optical gain chip that provides an optical signal and that is optically coupled to an SOI chip. The optical gain chip may include a reflective layer. Moreover, the SOI chip may include: a common optical waveguide, a splitter that splits the optical signal into optical signals, a first pair of resonators that are selectively optically coupled to the common optical waveguide and that are configured to perform modulation and filtering of the optical signals, and a first bus optical waveguide that is selectively optically coupled to the first pair of resonators. Furthermore, resonance wavelengths of the resonators may be offset from each other with a (e.g., fixed) separation approximately equal or corresponding to a modulation amplitude, and a reflectivity of the first pair of resonators may be approximately independent of the modulation.
