Abstract
We propose a cyclic NxN AWG router that can multi/demultiplex upstream and downstream signals with different channel spacings in different wavelength regions. We fabricated a 4x4 AWG router for our novel ?-tunable WDM/TDM-PON using silica-based PLC technology and showed that it can cyclically multi/demultiplex both 20 nmspaced and 200 GHz-spaced signals at 1.3 and 1.5 μm, respectively.
