Abstract
For the new structure of arrayed waveguide grating, various kinds of medium are inserted into the arrayed waveguides to compensate the second-order and above temperature offset. Firstly, expressions of the working principle are deduced. Secondly, the structural design of concentric circles is given, which is beneficial to make the inserted medium be vertical with the waveguides so as to significantly reduce the scattering loss and improve the integration level. Finally, the performance of the device is assessed, and it is shown that the additional loss is less than 1dB and zero temperature offset is achieved in theory.
