  • Abstract
    The characteristics of a wavelength multiplexer based on an arrayed-waveguide grating are carefully investigated by using the grating theory and related experiments. A 28-channel multiplexer is designed and fabricated as SiO2-Ta2O5 waveguides on a 1 cm×2 cm substrate. The designed wavelength channel spacing of 1 nm is obtained. The crosstalk to an adjacent channel is -15 dB. The measured minimum loss is 4.2 dB, which is composed of 3.4 dB excess loss and 0.8 dB grating loss
