Abstract

An optical device having a wavelength measurement section and an SMRS measurement section is disclosed. The wavelength measurement section includes a MZI, which includes first optical waveguides having a first optical path length difference. The wavelength measurement section also includes a second MZI, which includes second optical waveguides having a second optical path length difference. The second optical path length difference is greater than the first optical path length difference. The SMRS includes a filter adapted to suppress a primary laser mode of the second output optical signal and to pass a remaining portion of the second output signal to determine an SMRS based on an optical power of the main laser mode from the wavelength and power measurement stage, and an optical power of the remaining portion of the second output optical signal.
