Abstract: The modulator includes a ring resonator having a phase modulator that tunes blocked wavelengths within phase modulator bandwidths. The blocked bands include blocked wavelengths at which the intensity of an output light signal is minimized. Each of the blocked bands is associated with the phase modulator bandwidth within which the blocked wavelength is tuned. A bandwidth shifting device is configured to shift a selection of wavelengths that falls within each of the phase modulator bandwidths. Electronics are configured to operate the bandwidth shifting device so as to shift the phase modulator bandwidths from a location where a first target wavelength falls within a first one of the phase modulator bandwidths to a location where a second target wavelength falls within a second one of the phase modulator bandwidths.
