    Abstract: Examples herein relate to optical systems. In particular, implementations herein relate to an optical system including an optical transmitter configured to transmit optical signals. The optical transmitter includes a first optical source configured to emit light having different wavelengths, a waveguide, and an optical coupler configured to couple the emitted light from the first optical source to the waveguide. The optical transmitter further includes an array of two or more second optical sources coupled to the waveguide, each of the two or more second optical sources configured to be injection locked to a different respective wavelength of the emitted light transmitted via the waveguide from the first optical source. In some implementations, the first optical source is a master comb laser and the two or more second optical sources are slave ring lasers.
