Design of Polymer Based 8-Channel, 100-GHz AWG Applying Various Photonics Tools

摘要

We present design and simulation of polymer based 8-channel, 100-GHz AWG, designed for central wavelength of 1550 nm. The input design parameters were calculated applying AWG-Parameters tool. The AWG layout was created and the simulations were performed applying commercial photonic tool PHASAR from Optiwave. The achieved transmission characteristics were evaluated by AWG-Analyzer tool. The achieved simulation results confirm a very good agreement between the designed and simulated transmission parameters.
