Abstract
To achieve spectrum flattening in the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) device's arrayed waveguide grating (AWG), we have cascaded a special "A" shape multimode interference (MMI) structure at the end of the input waveguide. The MMI is designed by the linear spreading function (LSF), which increases the 1 dB bandwidth to 0.7 nm and the 3 dB bandwidth to 1.6 0.2 nm, the insertion loss is measured at 3.5±0.3 dB, and the channel crosstalk is below -30 dB.
