High-precision AWG wavelength division multiplexer for Singapore LAN
The AWG (arrayed-waveguide grating) multiplexer/demultiplexer combines and splits many channels (up to 88) of optical signals with different wavelengths useful in DWDM systems. The products feature both Gaussian and flat-top types that offer narrow channel spacing (100GHz. We produce fiber-coupled Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) devices that combine (Mux) or separate (DeMux) multiple wavelength channels into or from a single optical fiber. Two types are available: integrated arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG), offering low cost, compact size, and precise ITU. Here, we develop a novel design approach that co-optimizes inverse-designed wavelength division multiplexers and distributed Bragg gratings to achieve ultra-low crosstalk without compromising insertion loss. With advancements in optical communication technology, the number of AWG output channels has rapidly increased.
