A Silicon-Based Arrayed Waveguide Grating Operating in Two Communication Channels

Abstract

This article proposes a silicon-based arrayed waveguide grating operating in two wavelength bands simultaneously with central wavelengths of 1,550.12 nm and 1,310.12 nm. If input light to an arrayed waveguide grating consists of wavelengths around 1,550.12 nm, the proposed system will act as a four-channel demultiplexer with channel spacing of 0.8 nm. On the other hand, when input wavelengths are distributed around 1,310.12 nm, the same arrayed waveguide grating will divide the input to seven channels with channel spacing of 0.33 nm.     

Three-dimensional hybrid modeling based on a beam propagation method and a diffraction formula for an AWG demultiplexer

An efficient and accurate three-dimensional (3D) hybrid modeling, which combines a 3D beam propagation method (BPM) and the two-dimensional (2D) Kirchhoff–Huygens diffraction formula, is developed to simulate the field propagation in an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) demultiplexer. The 2D Kirchhoff–Huygens diffraction formula is used for the simulation of the light propagation in the free propagation regions (FPRs). A 3D BPM in a polar coordinate system is used to simulate the light propagation in the transition region between the input FPR and the arrayed waveguides so that the coupling coefficients for the arrayed waveguides are calculated conveniently and accurately. For the simulation in the transition region between the arrayed waveguides and the output FPR, only the central arrayed waveguide and several adjacent ones are needed in the computational window of a standard BPM and thus the computation efficiency is improved. Finally, a flat-top AWG is designed and fabricated to verify the reliability of the present simulation method. The calculated and measured spectral responses are in a good agreement.     

Design of a polarization-insensitive arrayed waveguide grating demultiplexer based on silicon photonic wires

The polarization dependence of an arrayed waveguide grating demultiplexer based on Si photonic wires is analyzed. The height and width of the arrayed waveguides are optimized to make the channel spacing polarization insensitive. To make the central wavelength polarization insensitive, different diffraction orders are chosen for TE and TM polarizations, and the remaining polarization-dependent wavelength is compensated with a noncentral input. A detailed design procedure is presented and numerical simulation results are given.

Reduced back reflection design for an etched diffraction grating based planar demultiplexer

A design for a planar etched diffraction grating (EDG) demultiplexer is presented to reduce the back reflection. By reducing the diffracted field at the input waveguide, the present design makes the best effort to reduce the optical return loss. A design example is given to verify the performance. The spectral response at the input waveguide is simulated and the results show that at the wavelengths that cause back reflection, the reduced back reflection design only receives –47.7 dB of the input power, whereas the design without reduced back reflection receives –3.7 dB of the input power.     

Arrayed waveguide grating-based demultiplexer with two central wavelengths

In this paper we have presented an arrayed waveguide grating with two central wavelengths, 1550.12 nm and 1310.12 nm. Introducing a novel architecture for outputs of system, if input light to arrayed waveguide grating consists of wavelengths around 1550.12 nm, proposed system will act as 16 channels demultiplexer with channel spacing of 1.6 nm. On the other hand when input wavelengths are distributed around 1310.12 nm, the same arrayed waveguide grating will divide the input to 27 channels with channel spacing of 0.68 nm.     

Parameter optimization and structural design of polymer arrayed waveguide grating multiplexer

First some important parameters are optimized for the structural design of a polymer arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer around the central wavelength of 1.55 μm with the wavelength spacing of 1.6 nm. These parameters include the thickness and width of the guide core, mode effective refractive indices and group refractive index, diffraction order, pitch of adjacent waveguides, length difference of adjacent arrayed waveguides, focal length of slab waveguides, free spectral range (FSR), the number of input/output (I/O) channels, and that of arrayed waveguides. Then the bent angles, radii and lengths of all the input/output channels and arrayed waveguides are determined. Finally, a schematic waveguide layout of this device is presented, which contains 2 slabs, 11 input channels, 11 output channels, and 91 arrayed waveguides.     

All-optical clock recovery from 10-Gb/s NRZ data and NRZ to RZ format conversion

A non-return-to-zero (NRZ) to pseudo-return-to-zero (PRZ) converter consisting of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) is proposed, by which the enhancement of clock frequency component and clock-to-data suppression ratio of the NRZ data are evidently achieved. Alloptical clock recovery from NRZ data at 10 Gb/s is successfully demonstrated with the proposed NRZ-to-PRZ converter and a mode-locked SOA fiber laser. Furthermore, NRZ-to-RZ format conversion of 10 Gb/s is realized by using the recovered clock as the control light of terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer(TOAD), which further proves that the proposed clock recovery scheme is applicable.
