Abstract
Arrayed waveguide gratings have found wide application in WDM links and networks. However, their major application in photonic integrated circuits still has to come. Key issues for a broad application of AWG's in photonic integrated circuits are small device dimensions in combination with a good performance and their potential for integration with semiconductor optical amplifiers and high speed modulators. The road to such a broad application of arrayed waveguide gratings is discussed.
