Abstract
A method of tuning optical components integrated on a monolithic chip, such as an optical transmitter photonic integrated circuit (TxPIC), is disclosed where a group of first optical components are each fabricated to have an operating wavelength approximating a wavelength on a standardized or predetermined wavelength grid and are each included with a local wavelength tuning component also integrated in the chip. Each of the first optical components is wavelength tuned through their local wavelength tuning component to achieve a closer wavelength response that approximates their wavelength on the wavelength grid.
