An embodiment includes an optical transmitter. An optical transmitter may include a primary laser for transmitting a primary optical signal and a backup laser for transmitting a backup optical signal. The optical transmitter may further include a photonic integrated circuit (PIC). The PIC may include at least one input port configured to receive the primary optical signal from the primary laser and the backup optical signal from the backup laser. The PIC may also include at least one output port configured to receive each of the primary optical signal and the backup optical signal. The optical transmitter may be configured to activate the backup laser upon determining that the primary laser has failed or is failing.

Light source redundancy in optical communication devices

An optoelectronic module management system includes a network connection communicatively coupled to an optoelectronic module, a memory, and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory. The processing device is configured to perform or control performance of operations that include identify the optoelectronic module via a management network. The optoelectronic module includes a management communication element that is communicatively coupled to the management network and an optical communication element that is communicatively coupled to a fiber optic cable. The operations further include add the optoelectronic module to a list of monitored devices, monitor the optoelectronic module, provide a service to the optoelectronic module in response to the monitoring, and generate a report of the service provided to the optoelectronic module.

Optoelectronic module management platform

Communication devices are disclosed. In an example embodiment, a communication device may include a communication module including an illumination source and a body element. The body element may be configured to allow illumination generated by the illumination source to propagate within and illuminate at least a portion of an outer surface of the body element.
