Article Abstract
We successfully demonstrated a low-loss, flat-passband, and athermal arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) multi/demultiplexer with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) as an input router. Resin-filled trenches were formed in the longer arm of the MZI as well as the slab in the AWG to compensate for the temperature dependence. A 32-channel athermal multi/demultiplexer was fabricated using silica-based planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology. A small temperature-dependent wavelength shift of 0.02 nm was obtained over the temperature range of -5 to 65 degrees C with low-loss (3.3-3.7 dB) and flat-passband spectra.

Up-to-date network telemetry is the key enabler for resource optimization by capacity scaling, fault recovery, and network reconfiguration among other means. Reliable optical performance monitoring in general and, specifically, the monitoring of the spectral profile of WDM signals in fixed- and flex- grid architectures across the entire C-band, remains challenging. This article describes a two-stage spectrometer architecture amenable to integration on a single chip that can measure quantitatively the spectrum across the entire C-band with a resolution of ∼ 1.

The AWG has a cascaded configuration with a 1×3 flat-passband AWG as the primary filter and three 1×70 AWGs as secondary filters (i.e.

However, we show that the router has substantial cubic dispersion over the channel passband, which is identical from channel to channel. For a 1x4 router with a free spectral range of 100 GHz, the average dispersion slope over a 60% passband is -8x10(3)ps/nm(2), and thus a cascade of four routers incurs a significant system power penalty.

One of the authors (KH) previously proposed pitch-modulated interdigital transducers (IDTs) and reflectors for developing low-loss and wideband longitudinally coupled double-mode SAW (DMS) filters. This paper discusses how a wide and flat passband is realized by applying the pitch-modulated IDTs and reflectors to DMS filters. It is shown that the pitch-modulated structure enables one to adjust the location of multiple resonance frequencies simultaneously by varying an effective reflective position with frequency.
