Arrayed Waveguide Grating Router
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 spectrum in the arrayed waveguide grating arms were characterized by using an optical vector network analyzer. Fabrication details of obtaining low loss silicon ridge waveguides are also discussed.

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...
