Optical
transceiver architecture utilizing micro-ring modulators and micro-ring resonators configured to
route resonant wavelengths of light injected into each micro-ring
resonator's input port and through port to that micro-ring
resonator's drop port and add port, respectively. The micro-ring resonators drop two distinct streams of data modulated onto the same
optical wavelength, or two wavelengths separated by an integer number of free spectral ranges coupled into the micro-ring resonators in two different directions.
