1. A photonic source comprising:
a. a multi-stripe laser array, the multi-stripe laser array including a plurality of laser stripes including a first laser stripe producing a first output laser light, a second laser stripe producing a second output laser light, and a third laser stripe producing a third output laser light; the first output laser light, the second output laser light, and the third output laser light all being coherent with each other; and
b. a multi-stripe modulator, the multi-stripe modulator having a plurality of modulator stripes, including a first modulator stripe having a first modulator input port, a second modulator stripe having a second modulator input port, and a third modulator stripe having a third modulator input port, a portion of the first output laser light being directly optically coupled to the first modulator input port of the first modulator stripe, a portion of the second output laser light being directly optically coupled to the second modulator input port of the second modulator stripe and the third output laser light being directly optically coupled to the third modulator input port of the third modulator stripe.
