The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, a simple but comprehensive and powerful arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) field model is presented which, based on Fourier optics, borrows some principles of
2.1. Operation principle Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of the phased-array demultiplexer. The device consist of two slab waveguide star couplers, connected by a dispersive waveguide array.
In this review, an overview of the available methods for improving the bandwidth, spectral resolution, and transmission function shape of AWGs is provided. The working principle as well as the advantages
Light is split into an array of waveguides, each with a slightly different path length. The resulting wavelength-dependent phase shifts cause different wavelengths to
Arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) are commonly used as optical (de)multiplexers in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems. These devices are capable of multiplexing many wavelengths into a single optical fiber, thereby increasing the transmission capacity of optical networks considerably. The devices are based on a fundamental principle of optics, which states that light waves of different wavelengths do not interfere linearly with each other. This means that, if each channel in an optical communication
The array waveguide grating (AWG) demodulation method has the advantages of large demodulation range, high demodulation accuracy, high resolution, small size and relatively low cost.
