Abstract :
A novel widely-tunable coherent receiver incorporating an optical phased-locked loop (OPLL) on two adjacent chips-a photonic IC and an electronic IC-is described. The design of both is novel, but the focus will be on the photonic IC in this paper. Results indicate a high degree of functionality.
