Abstract:
A photonic integrated circuit including a beam launching waveguide, a local oscillator waveguide, a target interferometer, and a reference interferometer all integrated on a chip. The beam launching waveguide transmits target electromagnetic radiation off the chip and receives a retroreflection of the target electromagnetic radiation from a target off the chip. The target interferometer interferes the retroreflection with a local oscillator field transmitted from the local oscillator waveguide so as to form a target interference signal. The reference interferometer interferes a portion of the target electromagnetic radiation that does not leave the chip with the local oscillator field transmitted from the local oscillator waveguide to form a reference interference signal. The difference between the reference interference signal and the target interference signal is used to measure a distance to the target from the chip.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 6 , further comprising selecting optical path lengths of the waveguides so as to minimize sensitivity of the difference to thermal variations.
