Abstract :
An analysis is made of the relationships between bandwidth, length increment, number of channels, number of waveguides and channel spacings in silica-based arrayed waveguide WDM. The study is based on beam propagation calculations on AWG structures of up to twenty channels. The AWGs are designed on a silica substrate with waveguide refractive index of 1.584 and layer refractive index of 1.522
