Abstract :
In this paper, a Si-based temperature-independent AWG designed by a combination of a narrow and wide part in each Si waveguide on SOI substrates is proposed. The thermal effects on the proposed AWG is simulated and showed that it is possible to make the center wavelength be temperature-independent by adjusting the waveguide parameters.
