Abstract :
In this paper we present the position method to correct the channel spacing between the transmitted channels of an AWG. The developed position method was applied to 20-ch 200 GHz AWG and the achieved results confirm very good correlation between required channel spacing (200 GHz) and the channel spacings calculated from simulated AWG transmission characteristics.
