Abstract
Optical dense wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems have been investigated in order to enlarge transmission capacity and improve network flexibility. Arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexers are key components in such systems because they can process plural wavelengths simultaneously. This paper reviews recent work on AWGs based on silica-based planar lightwave circuits and their applications to dense-WDM systems. An AWG consists of plural input/output waveguides, two focal slab waveguides and a waveguide array. Applications investigated include optical add/drop multiplexers, wavelength routers and multi-channel light sources.
