SYSTEM, LASER-ON-CMOS CHIP, AND METHOD FOR SETTING A WAVELENGTH TO BE USED BY THE LASER-ON-CMOS CHIP

摘要

A system, a Laser-on-CMOS chip, and a method are described herein in accordance with the present invention. In one embodiment, the present invention enables a conventional WDM-capable system to dictate what wavelengths a Laser-on-CMOS chip's optical ports will use by seeding each of their LoC upstream reflective light generation devices (e.g., RSOAs) with a particular wavelength.
