Abstract:
A photonic integrated circuit includes a main light source, a redundant light source, a controller, an optical switch, and a modulator. The main light source outputs main light through a main light input waveguide. The redundant light source outputs redundant light through a redundant light transmission waveguide. The controller generates a first switch signal based on a fault state of the main light source. The optical switch selectively provides the redundant light from the redundant light transmission waveguide to a redundant light input waveguide based on the first switch signal. The modulator modulates main light from the main light input waveguide or redundant light from the redundant light input waveguide and outputs a first optical signal.

Claim (Index 10):
The photonic integrated circuit as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a second main light source to output a second main light through a second main light input waveguide; a second redundant light source to output a second redundant light through a second redundant light transmission waveguide; a second optical switch connected between the second redundant light transmission waveguide and a second redundant light input waveguide, the second optical switch to selectively provide the second redundant light from the second redundant light transmission waveguide to the second redundant light input waveguide based on a second switch signal; and a second modulator connected with the second main light input waveguide and the second redundant light input waveguide, the second modulator to modulate the second main light from the second main light input waveguide or the second redundant light from the second redundant light input waveguide and to output a second optical signal, wherein the controller is to generate the second switch signal based on a fault state of the second main light source.
