Abstract
A 0.8nm spacing polymeric arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer operating around 1550nm is realised using a silicone resin waveguide. The AWG multiplexer has an insertion loss in the range 9-13dB, a cross talk of < -20dB, and a polarisation-dependent wavelength shift of 0.35 nm. The transmission peak wavelength is tunable over 10nm with a tempe rature change of 55 degrees C.
