Arrayed Waveguide Grating Router
This paper discusses design, fabrication, and characterization of a 512 × 512 arrayed waveguide grating router (AWGR) with a channel spacing of 25 GHz. The dimensions of the AWGR is 16 mm × 11 mm and is fabricated on a 250 nm silicon-on-insulator platform. The measured channel crosstalk is approximately −4 dB without any compensation for the phase errors in the arrayed waveguides. The AWGR spec...
متن کامل20GHz Channel Spacing InP-based Arrayed Waveguide Grating
We demonstrate a 10-channel InP-based Arrayed-Waveguide Grating (dimensions = 5.0x6.0 mm) with a 20-GHz channel spacing. The excess loss of the AWG is 5.5-6.3 dB, and the crosstalk level is below -15 dB. Introduction Arrayed waveguide Gratings (AWGs) are one of the key components for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) applications, and narrowchannel-spacing AWG multi/demultiplexers are indi...
متن کاملDesign of an Arrayed Waveguide Grating for Photonic Integrated Circuits
Arrayed waveguide gratings are useful structures for the implementation of wavelength division multiplexing; however, in their current form, they are too large to be made cheaply or to use as an integrated component. This paper discusses the work of the MIT Microphotonics Center, explains the operation of an arrayed waveguide grating, and discusses plans for a Master of Engineering thesis proje...
متن کاملCompact wavelength router based on a Silicon-on-insulator arrayed waveguide grating pigtailed to a fiber array.
We demonstrate a compact, fiber-pigtailed, 4-by-4 wavelength router in Silicon-on-insulator photonic wires, fabricated using CMOS processing methods. The core is an AWG with a 250GHz channel spacing and 1THz free spectral range, on a 425x155 microm(2) footprint. The insertion loss of the AWG was reduced to 3.5dB by applying a two-step processing technique. The crosstalk is -12dB. The device was...
متن کاملExperimental Demonstration of Compact 16 channels-50 GHz Si3N4 Arrayed Waveguide Grating
Arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) are one of the key components for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems enabling wavelength(de)multiplexing and routing scaling to a large number of channels with graceful increases in optical losses. AWGs are widely used in telecommunications, datacom, optical sensing, optical spectroscopy, and many other applications. Such a wide range of appl...
