Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for next-generation optical communication interconnects and all-optical signal processing require efficient (∼A/W) and fast (≥25 Gbs) light detection at low (
We report an 8 × 8 silicon photonic integrated Arrayed Waveguide Grating Router (AWGR) targeted for WDM routing applications in O-band. The AWGR was designed for cyclic-frequency operation with a channel spacing of 10 nm. The fabricated AWGR exhibits a compact footprint of 700 × 270 μm.
