Abstract
Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) may include transmit and receive PICs that include individually tunable optical elements. In one implementation, a device may include a number of optical elements that form a number of optical channels. Tuners may be used to modify a property associated with the at least one of the optical elements where the modified properties of the optical elements adjust a frequency grid of the optical channels.
