Claim:
1. An optical paired channel transceiver component comprising: an optical channel interface to concurrently receive an inbound optical signal at a designated receiver frequency, and output an outbound optical signal at a designated transmitter frequency distinct from said receiver frequency; a receiver operable to process said inbound optical signal at said receiver frequency; a laser input interface to receive a laser input at said transmitter frequency to produce said outbound optical signal; and a resonant optical structure optically coupling each of said laser input interface and said receiver to said optical channel interface via respective optical paths, and having a resonance corresponding to one of said transmitter frequency and said receiver frequency such that a resonant one of said inbound signal and said outbound signal is resonantly redirected by said resonant optical structure along a resonant one of said respective paths, whereas the other non-resonant one of said inbound signal and said output signal is concurrently directed substantially unperturbed by said resonant optical structure along a non-resonant one of said respective paths.
