Abstract :
We discuss multiport spectrally periodic dispersion-compensating arrayed-waveguide-grating (AWG) devices, which integrate multiple on-chip compensators sharing the same AWG elements. The new designs are advantageous in terms of compactness, insertion loss, and flatness of amplitude response.
