Array waveguide gratings (AWGs) have been widely used in multi-purpose and multi-functional integrated photonic devices for Microwave photonics (MWP) systems. In this paper, we compare the effect of output waveguide configurations on the performance of AWGs. They play a key role in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems by enabling efficient routing of multiple data channels over a single optical fiber and as a. A low-crosstalk compact arrayed waveguide grating integrated with a tunable micro-ring resonator is demonstrated on silicon-on-insulator platform, The side-lobe of the silicon nanowire AWG, introduced by fabrication errors, can be effectively suppressed by the Ring Filter, The crosstalk level of. Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWGs) function as planar devices with both imaging and dispersive properties, suitable for multiplexing and demultiplexing optical signals. Liu With comparison, experimental results show that the AWG with Rowland configuration in combination with constant period along the tangent line to its grating pole for arrayed waveguides has the best cross.
