Abstract:
A wavelength locker integrated with a silicon photonics transmission system comprising a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate and an input via a power tap coupler to receive a fraction of a transmission signal with one or more frequencies from a primary output path of the silicon photonics transmission system. The wavelength locker further includes a splitter configured to split the input to a first signal in a first path and a second signal in a second path and a first delay-line-interferometer (DLI) coupled to the second path to receive the second signal and configured to generate an interference spectrum and output at least two sub-spectrums tunable to keep quadrature points of the sub-spectrums at respective one or more target frequencies. The wavelength locker is configured to generate an error signal fed back to the silicon photonics transmission system for locking the one or more frequencies at the one or more target frequencies.

Claim (Index 15):
The wavelength locker of  claim 13 , further comprises one variable optical attenuator (VOA) disposed in the first path and each of the first signal path and the second signal path for balancing each of the first signal photocurrent and the second signal photocurrent.
