We propose and demonstrate a 2-channel coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (de)multiplexer with low crosstalk and flat-top passbands. The device utilizes cascaded Mach–Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) based on a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) to achieve flat passbands with.

Ginzton Laboratory, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA †gahn@stanford. Current solutions are limited by trade-offs between channel spacing, crosstalk, insertion. In this paper, we demonstrate a low-loss AWG (de)multiplexer by using a thinner, lower loss optical waveguide with a 50nm-thick SiN core layer, and a loss of about 0. Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWG) are optical Due to their ability to multiplex large numbers. They can act as MUX/DEMUX with 20 nm channel sp 20, ull Band: 1260 -.
