Birefringence compensated AWG demultiplexer with angled star couplers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new approach to birefringence compensation in arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) is proposed. The star couplers are designed according to Rowland circle construction with an oblique incident/diffraction angle, similar to the case of an echelle grating. Such an AWG design is more general and flexible, and the conventional AWG becomes its special case when the grating angle is zero. By appropriately designing the star coupler shape, the birefringence of the arrayed waveguides can be compensated by that of the slab waveguides. The details of the design method and simulation results are presented.

Single–hop WDM networks based on a central Passive Star Coupler (PSC) or Arrayed–Waveguide Grating (AWG) hub have received a great deal of attention as promising solutions for the quickly increasing traffic in metropolitan and local area networks. These single–hop networks suffer from a single point of failure: If the central hub fails, then all network connectivity is lost. To address this sin...

Single–hop WDM networks with a central Passive Star Coupler (PSC), as well as single–hop networks with a central Arrayed–Waveguide Grating (AWG) and a single transceiver at each node, have been extensively studied as solutions for the quickly increasing amounts of unicast and multicast traffic in the metropolitan area. The main bottlenecks of these networks are the lack of spatial wavelength re...
