Comparison of AWGs and Echelle Gratings for Wavelength Division Multiplexing on Silicon-on-Insulator
We compare the performance (insertion loss and crosstalk) of silicon-based arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) and echelle gratings for different channel spacings.

Germanium-on-silicon mid-infrared arrayed waveguide grating multiplexers [PDF]
In this letter, we describe the use of a germanium-on- silicon waveguide platform to realize an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) operating in the 5 mu m wavelength range, which can be used as a wavelength multiplexer for mid-infrared (midIR) light engines

Acoustically driven arrayed waveguide grating
We demonstrate compact tunable phased-array wavelength-division multiplexers driven by surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in the low GHz range. The devices comprise two couplers, which respectively split and combine the optical signal, linked by an array of single-mode waveguides (WGs).

Germanium-on-silicon planar concave grating wavelength (de)multiplexers in the mid-infrared [PDF]
Mid-infrared wavelength (de)multiplexers based on planar concave gratings (PCGs) fabricated on a germanium-on-silicon waveguide platform are presented. PCGs with two different types of gratings (flat facet and distributed bragg reflectors) are analyzed ...

Waveguide array-grating compressors
We show that efficient optical pulse compression can be achieved when normally dispersive nonlinear waveguide arrays are used in conjunction with dispersive elements such as gratings or other programmable phase filters. Our computations indicate that the compression resulting from such discrete arrays can be of better quality as compared to that ...

Tunable, low frequency microwave generation from AWG based closely-spaced dual-wavelength single-longitudinal-mode fibre laser [PDF]
Stable, closely-spaced Dual-Wavelength Fibre Lasers (DWFLs) have high potential for applications such as Radio-over-Fibre and optical sensing. In this work, a DWFL using two Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWGs) to generate a closely-spaced dual-wavelength ...

Simultaneous interrogation of multiple fiber bragg grating sensors using an arrayed waveguide grating filter fabricated in SOI platform [PDF]
A novel fiber Bragg grating (FBG) interrogator is demonstrated based on an optimized arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) filter. The AWG response is optimized to achieve large crosstalk between the output channels, which allows simultaneous detection of ...
