Titel
Athermal all-polymer arrayed-waveguide grating multiplexer
Abstract
An athermal arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer relying on an all-polymer approach is reported. The all-polymer AWG consisting of polymer waveguides fabricated on a polymer substrate exhibits excellent performance. By properly adjusting the coefficient of thermal expansion of the polymer substrate, athermal and polarisation-independent AWG devices featuring a wavelength shift of less than +or-0.05 nm in the 25-65 degrees C temperature range could be demonstrated.
