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 19):
The optical transmitter as claimed in  claim 17 , further comprising:\n a second modulator to output a second optical signal; a second main light source connected with the second modulator through a second main light input waveguide, the second main light source to output a second main light through the second main light input waveguide; and a second optical switch connected with the second modulator through a second redundant light input waveguide, the second optical switch to selectively provide the first redundant light from outside to the second redundant light input waveguide depending on a fault state of the second main light source, wherein the second modulator is to modulate the second main light to output the second optical signal and wherein, when the second main light source is faulty, the second modulator is to modulate the first redundant light from the second redundant light input waveguide to output the second optical signal.
