AWG, based on optical waveguides, uses a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) on quartz to fabricate an array waveguide grating. It multiplexes multiple wavelengths for transmission and demultiplexes them at the receiving end in WDM system. They image the field in an input waveguide onto an array of output waveguides in such a way that the different wavelength signals present in the input waveguide are imaged onto different output waveguides. It is usually built as part of a planar lightwave circuit (photonic integrated circuit), where the light coming from an input fiber first enters a multimode. Thin-Film Filter (TFF) technology, also known as thin-film filtering, is widely used in WDM devices such as CWDM mux demux. Typically comprising multiple thin-film layers of varied. Arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) are key optical components of various new applications in telecommunication, astronomy, medical imaging, and spec-troscopy. These design of these devices are based on an.
