Abstract
An optical data communication system includes a plurality of resonator structures and a laser array that includes a plurality of lasers optically connected to the plurality of resonator structures. Each resonator structure has a respective free spectral wavelength range and a respective resonance wavelength. A maximum difference in resonance wavelength between any two resonator structures in the plurality of resonator structures is less than a minimum free spectral wavelength range of any resonator structure in the plurality of resonator structures. Each laser in the plurality of lasers is configured to generate continuous wave light having a respective wavelength. The laser array has a central wavelength. A variability of the central wavelength is greater than a minimum difference in resonance wavelength between any two spectrally neighboring resonator structures in the plurality of resonator structures.
