Abstract

See full text

Roughly described, an AWG has two or more inputs and multiple outputs. By selecting the angular spacing among the inputs, and by designing the different inputs to address different orders of the waveguide array, the device can be designed such that the inputs will carry frequency bands having any desired center frequency spacing and any desired same or different channel spacing. For example a dual input device can be designed such that one input carries C-band channels and the other input carries L-band channels, and both have channel spacings that match or substantially match the ITU grid.
