Abstract :
This study outlines a progress on functional photonic lightwave circuit (PLC) devices such as arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs), optical add-drop multiplexers, and NtimesN AWG routers for optical-layer signal processing. The fundamental properties, crosstalk, and dispersion of PLC devices are also discussed
