Abstract :
Random switching of wavelength demultiplexed light is numerically calculated in the variable index arrayed waveguide. Wavelength demultiplexed light is randomly switched in 4 output ports by changing the refractive index of variable index arrayed waveguide with 16 array waveguides. In the calculation, the phase differences in each array waveguide, and the diffraction in the star coupler are considered.
