    Area of Science:

    • Photonics and Optical Engineering
    • Integrated Optics
    • Waveguide Devices

    Background:

    • Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is crucial for optical communication systems.
    • Existing demultiplexers often require bulky external components.
    • There is a need for compact, integrated solutions for wavelength separation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and demonstrate a novel integrated optic wavelength-demultiplexer (IOWD).
    • To utilize a coplanar grating lens for simultaneous wavelength separation and focusing.
    • To achieve high performance with a compact, monolithically integrated device.

    Main Methods:

    • Design and fabrication of an IOWD using a grating lens in a single-mode slab waveguide.
    • Monolithic integration of the grating lens and channel waveguides on a silicon substrate.
