Apparatuses including integrated circuit (IC) optical assemblies and processes for operation of IC optical assemblies are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the IC optical assemblies include a transmitter component to provide light output having a particular beam direction, and a transmitter driver component. The transmitter component includes a light source optically coupled to a plurality of waveguides, a plurality of gratings, and a plurality of phase tuners. The transmitter driver component causes a light provided by the light source to be centered at a particular wavelength and a particular phase to be induced by each phase tuner of the plurality of phase tuners on a respective waveguide of the plurality of waveguides, in accordance with a feedback signal, to generate the light output having the particular beam direction.
