US Patent 10900838 Wavemeter system using a set of optical chips

This disclosure is related to devices, systems, and techniques for precisely measuring a wavelength of an optical signal. For example, a wavemeter system includes processing circuitry, a detector array, a set of optical chips, and a coarse wavelength unit configured to generate a coarse wavelength measurement of the input optical signal. The processing circuitry is configured to select an optical chip from a plurality of optical chips. The detector array is configured to generate a partial interferogram based on the at least the portion of the input optical signal. The processing circuitry is further configured to calculate an optical spectrum of the input optical signal based on the partial interferogram corresponding to the at least the portion of the input optical signal and the calibration matrix and identify, based on the optical spectrum of the input optical signal, the precise wavelength of the input optical signal.
