Design and fabrication of an ultra-compact silicon on insulator demultiplexer based on arrayed waveguide gratings

We present the design and fabrication of a SOI ultra-compact wavelength-demultiplexer based on arrayed-waveguide-gratings. The size of device is <0.1mm2 and the simulation shows that crosstalk is >30dB between channels and insertion loss is ∼1dB. © 2007 Optical Society of America.
