AbstractThis article reviews the fabrication technologies and optical characteristics of silica-based planar lightwave circuits (PLCs) on Si developed for photonic networks based on wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). While there have been various planar optical waveguides made with different materials, silica-based PLCs are the most suitable for constructing practical devices because of their excellent design flexibility, stability, and reproducibility. These advantages mainly result from their material characteristics, that is, silica glass is chemically and physically stable. The article also describes the basic characteristics and recent development of arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexers/demultiplexers as a device application. Since AWGs offer the advantages of low-loss, high-output port counts and mass producibility, they have played a pivotal role in the construction of flexible, large-capacity WDM networks.
