Patent number: 11942997Abstract: Consistent with the present disclosure, a local oscillator is provided in a receiver. The local oscillator laser a first and second mirrors and phase section and heaters are provided adjacent each portion of the laser, such that the temperature and thus the frequency of light output from the local oscillator laser may be tuned. Applying electrical power, such as a current or voltage to the phase section may result in rapid frequency tuning of light output from the local oscillator laser but over a limited frequency range. Temperature changes to the mirror sections, however, may afford frequency tuning over a wider range, but frequency tuning the mirror sections requires more time than that required to tune the phase section. Consistent with the present disclosure, a tuning method and apparatus is provided that optimizes laser tuning by selectively tuning the phase and mirror sections.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Infinera CorporationInventors: Paul N.
