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