A photonic device is provided that includes a photonic chip with a χ(2) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) configured to generate several output wavelengths simultaneously in response to a single laser pump. The photonic device may be configured to generate multiple laser wavelengths simultaneously for use as carriers for communication systems. In some aspects, the photonic device is configured to integrate data modulation into each carrier within the same photonic chip. In some aspects, the photonic device includes a chip with a set of OPOs, each of which is configured to generate one or more wavelength channels in response to one or more pump lasers, with the pump laser(s) configured in the form of a monolithic laser array or a single laser followed by an N-way splitter on the same chip. Method and device examples are described herein.
A photonic device comprising a photonic integrated circuit with a χ(2) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) on a chip configured to generate several output wavelengths simultaneously in response to a single laser pump, wherein the circuit is configurable to provide a desired uniform or non-uniform spacing of the output wavelengths.
A method for use with a photonic device, the method comprising generating several output wavelengths simultaneously in response to a single laser pump using a photonic integrated circuit with a χ(2) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) on a chip, wherein the circuit is configurable to provide a desired uniform or non-uniform spacing of the output wavelengths.
A photonic device comprising a chip with a plurality of optical parametric oscillators (OPOs), each of which is configured to generate one or more wavelength channels, in response to one or more pump lasers, and wherein the one or more pump lasers are configured as a monolithic laser array or as a single laser followed by an N-way splitter on the chip.
