Polarization-Independent Optical Low-Coherence Reflectometry with a Non-Birefringent Arrayed- Waveguide Grating
نویسندگان
چکیده
The polarization dependency of an arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) in an optical low-coherence reflectometry system is investigated. For mixed polarization, signal fading is observed at specific depths. This fading is eliminated by using a nonbirefringent AWG.

Design 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...

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...
