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 Sight generation devices (e.g., RSOAs) with a particular wavelength.
