Arrayed-waveguide-grating light collector for on-chip spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel arrayed-waveguide-grating (AWG) device with improved external (biomedical) signal collection for use in on-chip spectroscopy. The collection efficiency of the device is compared to that of a standard AWG. We also present experimental results on the collection efficiency and size of the collection volume. Keywords-arrayed waveguide grating; spectroscopy; integrated optics

Integrated AWG Spectrometer for On-chip Optical Coherence Tomography and Raman Spectroscopy
Silicon oxynitride-based arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) spectrometers were designed for on-chip spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems and Raman spectroscopy of the skin. A novel geometrical layout for Raman spectroscopy was introduced to reduce loss. Measurements show that integrated optics has a good potential for miniaturizing current OCT systems. Keywords-arrayed wavegu...
متن کاملDesign of Arrayed Waveguide Grating based Optical Switch for High Speed Optical Networks
This paper demonstrates the design of an Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWG) based optical switch. In the design both physical and network layer analysis is performed. The physical layer power and noise analysis is done to obtain Bit Error Rate (BER). This has been found that at the higher bit rates, BER is not affected with number of buffer modules. Network layer analysis is done to obtain perfor...
متن کاملFundamental limits to slow-light arrayed-waveguide-grating spectrometers.
We present an analytical model that describes the limiting spectral performance of arrayed-waveguide-grating (AWG) spectrometers that incorporate slow-light methods. We show that the loss-limited spectral resolution of a slow-light grating-based spectrometer scales as the loss-group-index ratio of the waveguide array. We further show that one can achieve a spectral resolution of a few GHz using...
متن کاملArrayed Waveguide Grating for Polarized Raman Spectroscopy of Human Teeth
We designed an arrayed-waveguide grating spectrometer for the detection of early dental caries in teeth through polarized Raman spectroscopy. Measurement results on extracted human teeth demonstrate the feasibility of the approach. (Abstract) Keywords-component; Raman spectroscopy; integrated optics;
متن کاملMiniature astronomical spectrographs using arrayed-waveguide gratings: capabilities and limitations
The size of the optical elements (gratings, mirrors, lenses) in traditional astronomical spectrographs scales with telescope diameter (unless the instrument is operating at the diffraction limit). For large telescopes, this leads to spectrographs of enormous size and implied cost. The integrated photonic spectrograph offers the potential to break this scaling law and allow massively multiplexed...
