1. A chassis, comprising:

  • a light source operable to multiplex a plurality of continuous wave light beams at different wavelengths onto a single optical fiber as a multiplexed light source; and

    a photonic unit comprising;

    an optical demultiplexer operable to demultiplex the multiplexed light source carried over the optical fiber based on wavelength to recover the continuous wave light beams; and

    a plurality of optical power splitters each operable to input one of the recovered continuous wave light beams from the optical demultiplexer and output one or more light beams at the same wavelength and at the same or lower power as the light beam input to that optical splitter so that at least one of the light beams output by the optical splitters has a higher power than the other light beams output by the optical splitters.
