Abstract:
1. A method for the wavelength tuning of an optoelectronic component array, the optoelectronic component array including at least two optoelectronic components, the method comprising: comparing a respective measured wavelength of each of the at least two optoelectronic components with a respective desired characteristic wavelength so as to determine a respective wavelength deviation for each of the at least two optoelectronic components, the respective wavelength deviation being the difference between the respective measured wavelength and the respective desired characteristic wavelength of each optoelectronic component; and selectively setting a respective resistance value of a respective resistor arrangement connected between each of the at least two optoelectronic components and a respective resistance heater associated with each of the at least two optoelectronic components so as to achieve a respective thermal change of the respective resistance heater for setting the respective desired characteristic wavelength of each of the at least two optoelectronic components.
