Popis: Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) plays an important role in optical interconnection. In this paper, a 16-channel WDM device is designed on a Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) substrate by using a sub-wavelength grating (SWG) structure, which can cover O-band and C-band at the same time, and the output channel is reversely coupled from the main waveguide to realize wavelength demultiplexing. The simulation results show that the loss of our 16-channel wavelength demultiplexing device is less than 0.5 dB and the crosstalk is less than 17 dB. When WDM is performed in O-band, the transmission loss of the C-band in the bus waveguide is less than 0.05 dB and is insensitive to the grating duty cycle, with good process tolerance. The footprint of the device is 200 μm × 150 μm, and the size of the single-channel filter is 200 μm × 2 μm, which can realize WDM with large bandwidth in a compact structure.
