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 temperature control circuit for controlling a temperature of a first region of the optical device; and a second temperature control circuit for controlling a temperature of a second region of the optical device. The second region may include a portion of the first region. The second region may be smaller than the first region. The tunable element may be positioned in the second region such that a temperature of the tunable element is controlled based on the second temperature control circuit controlling the temperature of the second region. 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.

Claim (Index 5):
The optical device of  claim 4 , wherein the laser is configured to transmit an optical signal at any of at least four different wavelengths, and wherein the wavelength of the optical signal transmitted by the laser is based on the temperature of the laser.
