| Popis: | In this paper, a model for the analysis and design of a reflective Arrayed Waveguide Grating is presented. The device consists of one half of a regular AWG where each arm waveguide in the array is terminated with a phase shifter and a Sagnac loop reflector. By individually adjusting the phase shifter and Sagnac reflectivity in each arm, additional functionality to that previously reported in the literature is attained, since this enables tailoring the spectral response of the AWG. The design and experimental demonstration of Gaussian pass-band shape devices in Silicon-on-Insulator technology are reported. Methods to obtain flattened and arbitrary spectral responses are described and supported by simulation results.
