This paper describes an efficient optimal design method for an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) having MMI coupler with flattened transfer function. The objective function is the norm of the difference between calculated and target spectra. To analyze the AWG transfer function, the Fresnel-Kirchhof diffraction formula was employed and the design variable was optical path difference of each array waveguide. The (1+1) Evolution Strategy was applied to an eight-channel coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) AWG as the optimization tool. For obtaining a broadened spectrum, we use a MMI coupler and the variation in optical path difference at each array waveguide changes the shape of the transfer function to obtain the optimal spectrum shape.

This paper describes the optimal design of an AWG spectrum to meet various specifications and improve some physical parameters. The objective function is the norm of the difference between design parameters and target values. To obtain the design parameters, the Fourier model is employed and the design variables arc spacing of array waveguide, width of array waveguide, optical path difference, and focal length. The (1+1) Evolution Strategy is employed as the optimization tool. The optimization procedure is applied to a 16-channel AWG and the optimized design variables will considerably improve the system performance.

96-채널 50-GHz 배열형 도파로격자를 사용하여 광섬유 브래그 격자의 브래그 파장 측정 시스템을 제작하였다. 충분히 넓은 대역폭을 갖는 광섬유격자의 브래그 파장은 변형 또는 온도의 변화에 따라 선형적으로 변화하는 것을 확인하였다. 제작된 파장 측정 시스템은 0.01 nm의 해상도를 가지며 10초 간격으로 브래그 파장을 측정한다. 12개의 직렬 연결된 아크릴레이트 재코팅된 다채널 광섬유격자들의 파장 이동을 동시에 측정하였고, 광섬유격자의 온도가 -25℃에서 85℃로 변화될 때, 파장 감도는 0.018 nm/℃에서 0.01 nm/℃까지 변화하였다.

We demonstrate a time- and wavelength-division multiplexed passive optical network system employing a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser array-based optical line terminal transceiver and a tunable bidirectional optical subassembly-based optical network terminal transceiver. A packet error-free operation is achieved after a 40 km single-mode fiber bidirectional transmission. We also discuss an arrayed waveguide grating, a photo detector array based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor photonics technologies, and low-cost key devices for deployment in access networks.
