Arrayed Waveguide

Four methods based on a multimode interference (MMI) structure are optimally designed to flatten the spectral response of silicon-on-insulator- (SOI-) based arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) applied in a demodulation integration microsystem. In the design for each method, SOI is selected as the material, the beam propagation method is used, and the performances (including the 3 dB passband width, the crosstalk, and the insertion loss) of the flat-top AWG are studied. Moreover, the output spectrum responses of AWGs with or without a flattened structure are compared. The results show that low insertion loss, crosstalk, and a flat and efficient spectral response are simultaneously achieved for each kind of structure. By comparing the four designs, the design that combines a tapered MMI with tapered input/output waveguides, which has not been previously reported, was shown to yield better results than others. The optimized design reduced crosstalk to approximately −21.9 dB and had an insertion loss of −4.36 dB and a 3 dB passband width, that is, approximately 65% of the channel spacing.

Miniature Raman Spectrometer

Arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) is a very popular dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) device, which is produced in the field of optical communication technology. Instead of traditional grating and lens spectral system, AWG is used as the spectral chip in miniature Raman spectrometer. It’s quite important for miniature Raman spectrometer in miniaturization and low cost. This paper analyzed the basic principles of AWG device, and introduces the insertion loss, crosstalk and phase error performance parameters, also focuses on the specific technical requirements about wavelength, optical channel number, phase error, wavelength resolution and bandwidth, which are applied in miniature Raman spectrometer. Some new researches and a series of related simulation have been made, finally won the 1 * 40 channels AWG spectral chips, with wavelength range of 880-920 nm, insertion loss of center wavelengths is better than-0.9 dB.

Arrayed Waveguide

An arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer with flat spectral response has been designed and fabricated by using FPE polymer materials. Experimental results show that the central wavelength is 1550.86 nm, and 3-dB bandwidth is about 0.478 nm, insertion loss is 10.5 dB. Simulated results show that fabrication processing result in the shift of the transmission spectrum compared with the device theoretically designed. Furthermore, the transmission characteristics are discussed, and some efficient ways are reported.

Silica Hybrid

A 5-channel polymer/silica hybrid arrayed waveguide grating (AWG), fabricated through a simple and low-cost microfabrication process is proposed, which covers the entire O-band (1260–1360 nm) of the optical communication wavelength system. According to the simulation results, the insertion loss is lower than 4.7 dB and the crosstalk within 3-dB bandwidth is lower than ~−28 dB. The actual fiber–fiber insertion loss is lower than 14.0 dB, and the crosstalk of the 5 channels is less than −13.0 dB. The demonstrated AWG is ideally suitable for optical communications, but also has potential in the multi-channel sensors.
