Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to an optical device including at least one temperature-dependent tunable element for controlling a wavelength of an optical signal, a first temperature control circuit for controlling a temperature of a first region of the optical device; and a second temperature control circuit for controlling a temperature of a second region of the optical device. The second region may include a portion of the first region. The second region may be smaller than the first region. The tunable element may be positioned in the second region such that a temperature of the tunable element is controlled based on the second temperature control circuit controlling the temperature of the second region. The tunable element may be one of (i) a laser for transmitting an outgoing optical signal and (ii) an optical filter coupled to a photodetector for receiving an incoming optical signal.

Claim (Index 7):
The optical device of  claim 1 , wherein the second region is defined by a housing, and wherein the second temperature control circuit is configured to control the temperature inside the housing.
