Abstract
Planar lightwave circuits (PLCs) provide various important and functional devices for optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems and subscriber networks. This paper reviews the recent progress and future prospects of PLC technologies including arrayed-waveguide grating routers and hybrid optoelectronics integration technologies.
