Abstract: Embodiments herein describe an ASIC design where certain portions of the laser driver are controllable by the user. In one embodiment, the ASIC may include one or more pins which provide a connection interface where the user can electrically connect a sense resistor that corresponds to the particular laser being used. The remaining portions of the laser driver are implemented in the ASIC, thereby giving the user the flexibility to adapt the laser driver to her selected laser while having the advantages that come from using an ASIC.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include laser systems. An illustrative laser system includes a tunable laser. A beam splitter is operatively couplable to an output of the laser and is configured to split light output from the laser into a first path and a second path. A first modulator is disposed in the first path and is configured to generate first set of sidebands. A bandpass filter circuit includes a fiber Bragg grating filter and is operatively couplable to receive output from the first modulator and to pass a selected sideband of the first set of sidebands. A lock circuit is disposed in the second path, is configured to determine and stabilize wavelength of the laser, and is further configured to cooperate with the fiber Bragg grating filter to maintain a static lock point for the laser while allowing output of the first path to be tunable with respect to the lock point.
