    摘要: A tunable distributed feedback (DFB) laser unit comprises:



    a thermo-electric cooler;
    a tunable DFB laser diode; and
    an optical filter chip comprising:

    a tunable optical filter;
    a first optical splitter with an optical tap and an output path, and
    a first photodetector configured to receive light from the optical tap from the first optical splitter and to monitor output intensity from the tunable optical filter;


    wherein the tunable DFB laser diode is supported on the thermo-electric cooler and wherein the light from the tunable laser diode or a fraction thereof is directed through the tunable optical filter.




    The tunable DFB laser unit can be used in a method for wavelength locking the DFB laser.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus for controlling a wavelength of an optical module, and a storage medium. The method comprises: determining an initial temperature compensation curve corresponding to a transmitter optical subassembly TOSA in an optical module (S101); obtaining a first control voltage to be applied to a TEC according to a current ambient temperature and the initial temperature compensation curve; and controlling the TOSA to emit a first light wave based on the first control voltage, whose wavelength is a first wavelength (S102); when the first wavelength does not meet a setting range, adjusting the control voltage applied to the TEC until the control voltage applied to the TEC reaches a second control voltage, the second control voltage being capable of controlling the TOSA to emit a second light wave at the current ambient temperature, whose wavelength is a second wavelength meeting the setting range; and updating the initial temperature compensation curve based on the second control voltage (S103).
