Abstract
For the first time, 8-channel, 50GHz arrayed-waveguide multiplexers fo r 1.55 mu m wavelength are realised with ion-exchanged waveguides in g lass. The minimum insertion loss is 6 dB with channel crosstalk below -15dB. The TE-TM-shift is only 0.02 nm due to the low birefringence of the waveguides.
