    Abstract: A method and structure are provided for testing photonic circuits with integrated optical mixers having idle ports. A test port is provided for coupling test light into one or more idle ports of the mixer. Light exiting output ports of the mixer may be measured with photodetectors. Phase errors of optical hybrids may be determined by using waveguides of different lengths to inject test light into two input ports of the mixer and scanning the test wavelength. The method and structure may be used for on-wafer and off-wafer measurements of integrated photonic circuits implementing coherent optical receivers.

    Abstract: A transmitter comprising a plurality of modulator and multiplexer (Mod-MUX) units, each Mod-MUX unit operating at an optical wavelength different from the other Mod-MUX units. The transmitter can additional include in each Mod-MUX unit two optical taps and three photodetectors that are configured to allow the respective Mod-MUX unit to be tuned to achieve thermal stabilization and achieve effective modulation and WDM operation across a range of temperatures. The Mod-MUX transmitter avoids the use of a frequency comb. The Mod-MUX transmitter avoids cross-modulation between different modulators for different laser signals.
