We demonstrate simultaneous wavelength locking of a silicon photonic polarization diverse 4-channel microring-based dense wavelength division multiplexing receiver. Using a single monitoring photodetector, we thermally adapt over a temperature range >20°C and demultiplex 4x25 Gb/s on-off-keying modulation with 100-GHz channel spacing.
