Comparison of AWGs and Echelle Gratings for Wavelength Division Multiplexing on Silicon-on-Insulator
We compare the performance (insertion loss and crosstalk) of silicon-based arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) and echelle gratings for different channel spacings. For high-resolution de/multiplexer (DWDM) applications, AWGs are the better choice, whereas echelle gratings perform well for low-resoluti...
