Abstract
A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) with embedded optical temperature sensing includes an optical interferometer containing a first arm and a second arm, and one or more optical waveguide sections configured to measure an internal temperature of the PIC. The one or more optical waveguide sections are implemented as one or more sections of the first arm and the second arm. The first arm and the second arm have a first optical path length (OPL) and a second OPL and are made of a first material and a second material, respectively.
