ARRAYED WAVEGUIDE GRATINGS -By Shodhan Shetty ECE-E641
Operation Principle AWG is a complex optical circuit contained on a glass-silicon wafer about 1 or 2 inches in diameter Arrayed Waveguides Free Propagation Regions (FPRs)
Operation Principle (contd ..) Application of Fresnel-Kirchoff diffraction integral to one of the FPRs in an AWG R W A( )
Operation Principle (contd..) • Fresnel-Kirchoff diffraction integral • Free Spectral Range Here, =Optical path length difference between adjacent array arms
Functions • WDM de(multiplexing) [1] • OADM [2] • Wavelength Routing • Signal Processing • Dispersion Compensation [3] • Optical True-time delay lines [4] • Optical Filters [5] • Femto-second pulse train generation [6] • Specifications required: • Channel Spacing • Pass band Shape • Adjacent Channel Crosstalk • Free Spectral Range
Optical Delay Line [4] Here, d is distance between Antenna Array elements
