1. An apparatus comprising:

  • an incoming waveguide configured to communicate optical signals over a plurality of wavelengths; and

    a combination of a first silicon photonics (SiPh) component and a second SiPh component configured to alter a path of optical signals traveling on the incoming waveguide towards an outgoing waveguide, the first SiPh component configured to resonate at a resonant wavelength to direct a first component of an incoming optical signal towards the outgoing waveguide, wherein a second wavelength (λ

    s1b) of the second SiPh component is adjusted down at a first value of the second wavelength (λ

    s1b) and is adjusted back up at a second value of the second wavelength (λ

    s1b) with the first value being lower than the resonant wavelength (λ

    s1a) of the first SiPh component.
