An apparatus includes a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) to measure an optical wavelength of a light source. The PIC includes an optical splitter, a plurality of tunable interferometers and one or more detectors. The optical splitter is coupled to the light source, and the interferometers are coupled to the optical splitter. Each interferometer receives a portion of an optical signal of the light source. One or more detectors are coupled to each interferometer, and the interferometers have different free spectral ranges (FSRs). A largest FSR value of the different FSRs is greater than an entire intended wavelength measurement range of the PIC.
