Abstract
A system including wavelength multiplexers. In some embodiments, the system includes: a first multiplexing element, having a first plurality of input waveguides, each configured to receive light at a respective wavelength of a first plurality of wavelengths; and a second multiplexing element, having a second plurality of input waveguides, each configured to receive light at a respective wavelength of a second plurality of wavelengths. A wavelength of the second plurality of wavelengths may fall between a first wavelength of the first plurality of wavelengths and a second wavelength of the first plurality of wavelengths.
Claims11
A system, comprising:
- a first multiplexing element, having a first plurality of input waveguides, each configured to receive light at a respective wavelength of a first plurality of wavelengths;
- a second multiplexing element, having a second plurality of input waveguides, each configured to receive light at a respective wavelength of a second plurality of wavelengths;
- a first laser chip comprising a first plurality of lasers configured to emit a first subset of the first plurality of wavelengths;
- a second laser chip comprising a second plurality of lasers configured to emit a second subset of the second plurality of wavelengths;
- and
- a third laser chip comprising a third plurality of lasers configured to emit a first a first subset of the second plurality of wavelengths,
- wherein;
- a wavelength of the second plurality of wavelengths falls between a first wavelength of the first plurality of wavelengths and a second wavelength of the first plurality of wavelengths;
- and
- the first subset of the second plurality of wavelengths falls between the first subset of the first plurality of wavelengths and the second subset of the first plurality of wavelengths.
