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 sensor configured to indirectly monitor the optical signal, a second sensor configured to directly monitor the optical signal, and a control circuit. 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. The control circuit may be configured to receive first and second inputs from the first and second sensors, respectively, adjust the tuned wavelength of the tunable element from a first preselected wavelength to a second preselected wavelength based on the first input received from the first sensor, and maintain the tunable element at the second preselected frequency based on the second input received from the second sensor.

Claim (Index 11):
A control circuit included in a device having at least one of an optical transmitter or an optical receiver, and having a temperature-dependent tunable element coupled to said optical transmitter or optical receiver, wherein the control circuit is coupled to the tunable element and is configured to:\n receive an input from a first sensor configured to indirectly monitor an optical signal of the tunable element; tune the optical filter from a first wavelength to a second tuned wavelength based on the input received from the first sensor; receive an input from a second sensor configured to directly monitor the optical signal of the tunable element at the second tuned wavelength; and maintain the tunable element at the second tuned wavelength based on the input received from the second sensor.
