Integrated Planar Waveguide Demultiplexers for High-Density WDM Applications

A review is presented of state-of-the-art optical planar waveguide demultiplexers (DEMUXes), that is, phasars (arrayed waveguide) and etched grating devices designed for high-density (narrow channel spacing) wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems. Their advantages and disadvantages are discussed in comparison with other techniques for demultiplexing WDM signals. The advances made in their performance are reviewed, and ultimate limitations, set by technological constraints, are proposed. Finally, a comparison is made of the advantages and disadvantages of etched grating as opposed to phasar planar waveguide DEMUXes.

Attenuation of shock waves propagating over arrayed baffle plates

The paper reports results of shock tube experiments of the attenuation of shock waves propagating over arrayed baffle plates, which is motivated to simulate shock wave attenuation created accidentally at the acoustic delay line in synchrotron radiation factory upon the rupture of a metal membrane separating the acceleration ring at high vacuum and atmospheric test chambers. Experiments were carried out, by using double exposure holographic interferometry with double path arrangement, in a 100 mm×180 mm shock tube equipped with a test section of 180 mm×1100 mm view field. Two baffle plate arrangements were tested: Oblique and staggered baffle plates; and vertical symmetric ones. Pressures were measured along the shock tube sidewall at individual compartments for shock Mach numbers ranging from 1.2 to 3.0 in air. The results were compared with a numerical simulation. The rate of shock attenuation over these baffle plates was compared for vertical and oblique baffle plates. Shock wave attenuation is more pronounced in the oblique baffle plate arrangements than in the vertical ones. PACS 47.40.Nm; 42.40.Kw Communicated by C. Needham     

Analytical modeling of loss characteristics of a polymer arrayed waveguide grating multiplexer

Theoretical analysis is performed for the loss characteristics of a polymer arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer around the central wavelength of 1.55 μm with the wavelength spacing of 1.6 nm. The total loss of the device includes the diffraction loss in the input and output (I/O) slab waveguides, bent loss caused by the AWG and I/O channels, leakage loss resulted from the high refractive index substrate, and propagation loss due to the absorption and scattering of the materials of the device. The effects of some structural parameters on the loss characteristics are investigated and discussed. The computed results show that when we select the core thickness as 4 μm, core width as 6 μm, pitch of adjacent waveguides as 15.5 μm, diffraction order as 50, the number of the arrayed waveguides as 91, that of the I/O channels as 17, confined layer thickness between the core and the substrate as 10 μm, distance between the focal point and the origin as 5500 μm, and central angle between the central waveguide and the x-axis (i.e. the vertical of the symmetrical line of the device) as 60°, the total loss of the device can be dropped to the range 3.79–7.93 dB.

Athermal silicon arrayed waveguide grating with polymer-filled slot structure

In this paper, an athermal silicon arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) with the assistance of a polymer-filled slot structure is proposed. Arrayed slot waveguides were used to replace arrayed silicon photonic wires (SPWs). By carefully controlling the temperature dependence of the effective index of the polymer-filled slot waveguides, the athermal silicon AWG is realized. Analysis shows that the center wavelength shift of the AWG can be down to 0.14 pm/°C.
