Claim:
1. A silicon photonic transceiver system comprising: a first optical input port for receiving a first optical signal; a second optical input port for receiving a second optical signal; a first modulator coupled to the first optical input port and being configured to modulate the first optical signal at a first wavelength; a second modulator coupled the second optical input port and being configured to modulate the second optical signal at a second wavelength; a combiner being configured to generate a transmission signal using the modulated first optical signal and the modulated second optical signal; a third optical input port for receiving a third optical signal; and a first delay-line-interferometer (DLI) being configured to split the third optical signal into a fourth optical signal and a fifth optical signal, the fourth optical signal being characterized by the first wavelength, the fifth optical signal being characterized by the second wavelength.
