介绍了用于波分复用（WDM）光网络的平面型阵列波导光栅（AWG）复用/解复用器的原理、制作工艺和最新进展。AWG已经被用于点对点WDM系统，并且是构建灵活和大容量WDM网络的关键部件。这是因为，与由薄膜干涉滤光片和微光学器件组成的传统滤光片相比，AWG具有低损耗、高端口数和大规模生产率的优点。AWG的进一步发展有望为未来光网络的构建做出巨大贡献，包括光分插复用系统和光交叉连接系统。
The author introduces the principles, fabrication techniques, and recent progress of planar-type arrayed-waveguide-grating (AWG) multi/demultiplexers, which have been developed for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)-based photonic networks. The AWG has already been used in point-to-point WDM systems and is a key component in the construction of flexible and large-capacity WDM networks. This is because, compared with conventional filters consisting of thin-film interference filters and micro-optics, the AWG offers the advantages of low loss, high port counts, and mass productivity. Further progress on the AWG is expected to contribute greatly to the construction of future photonic networks including optical add/drop multiplexing systems and optical crossconnect systems.
