An optical wavelength multi/demultiplexing (DWDM/CWDM) based on Array Waveguide Grating (AWG) technique

Wavelength splitting (demultiplexing) and combining (multiplexing) are important functions in many optical applications. Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) enable optical multiplexing and demultiplexing in which the signals having different light wavelengths can be separated or combined to trans...
