19 January 2011Design and fabrication of SU-8 arrayed-waveguide gratings using
multimode interference couplers
An SU-8-based arrayed-waveguide gratings (AWG) device with multimode interference couplers (MMI) is designed and
fabricated. The demonstrated MMI-AWG device has 4 channels and the channel spacing is 500GHz. The total insertion
loss is about 22 dB, which mainly comes from the coupling loss (16dB) between the input/output waveguide and the
fibers. The channel crosstalk between adjacent channels is about -12 dB which is close to the simulation result.
