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 9):
The photonic integrated circuit as claimed in  claim 7 , further comprising:\n a second redundant light source to output a second redundant light through the first redundant light transmission waveguide, the second redundant light having a wavelength different from a wavelength of the first redundant light; a third optical switch connected between the first redundant light source and the first redundant light transmission waveguide, the third optical switch to operate based on a third switch signal; and a fourth optical switch connected between the second redundant light source and the first redundant light transmission waveguide, the fourth optical switch to operate based on a fourth switch signal, wherein the controller is to generate the third and fourth switch signals, wherein center wavelengths of the first and third optical switches, a wavelength of the first main light, and a wavelength of the first redundant light are same, and wherein center wavelengths of the second and fourth optical switches, a wavelength of the second main light, and a wavelength of the second redundant light are same.
