Arrayed Waveguide Grating of 70 Â 60 Lm 2 Size Based on Si Photonic Wire Waveguides
نویسنده
چکیده
A miniature arrayed waveguide grating of 70 60 mm size consisting of Si photonic wire waveguides was designed using complete modelling in the finite-difference time-domain simulation. The device was fabricated onto a silicon-on-insulator substrate and evaluated in the wavelength range around 1.55 mm. The clear demultiplexing characteristics were observed with a channel spacing of 11 nm and a loss of less than 1 dB.

A polarization-diversity wavelength duplexer circuit in silicon-on-insulator photonic wires.
We present a wavelength duplexer based on a compact arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) in silicon-on-insulator photonic wire waveguides. Polarization insensitive operation is achieved through a special polarization diversity approach in which we use 2-D grating fiber couplers as integrated polarization splitters. To mitigate the effects of process variations, we propagated both polarizations in op...
متن کاملAll-Optical Signal Processing and Routing with Spectral Control by a High- Resolution Arrayed-Waveguide Grating
We proposed and designed novel arrayed-waveguide gratings (AWGs) for time-to-space (T-S) conversion-based high-speed optical signal processing. Recently, the frequency selectivity of AWGs has been considerably improved, offering the possibility of powerful tool for the manipulation of optical spectra. An arrayed-waveguide grating was fabricated, integrated with a 90 degree deflecting mirror. Mo...
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...
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...

We present results from a laboratory characterization of integrated photonic arrayed-waveguide grating chips, which are a modified version of commercial arrayed-waveguide grating multiplexors, for the purposes of creating an integrated photonic spectrograph. Using a robust probing setup we measure the peak total efficiency of the chips to be ~75%. We measure the spectral resolution full-width h...
