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 14):
The control circuit of  claim 13 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to:\n receive an input requesting to adjust a tuned wavelength of the optical device to the second tuned wavelength; compare a temperature corresponding to the first tuned wavelength of the optical device with a temperature corresponding to the second tuned wavelength of the optical device; if the temperature corresponding to the first tuned wavelength is less than the temperature corresponding to the second tuned wavelength, control a raising of the temperature of the tunable element to the temperature corresponding to the second tuned wavelength; and if the temperature corresponding to the first tuned wavelength is greater than the temperature corresponding to the second tuned wavelength, control a lowering of the temperature of the tunable element to the temperature corresponding to the second tuned wavelength.
