We design and fabricate an eight-channel thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) and demonstrate the electro-optical tunability of the device. The transmission of the fabri-cated TFLN AWG near the central wavelength of 1550 nm is. Arrayed waveguide grating is a versatile and scalable integrated light dispersion device, which has been widely adopted in various applications, including, optical communications and optical sensing.

Arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) are commonly used as optical (de)multiplexers in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems. 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. Component-level simulations using varFDTD are carried out for more realistic results. It is a very powerful integrated light-dispersion technology with sig-nificant exibility for tailoring its performance to the individual.

Grating couplers are simply components of a photonic circuit that use diffraction to couple light into or out of a waveguide. In this work, we apply topology optimization to design single-polarization 1D and dual-polarization 2D grating couplers incorporating bottom reflectors and achieve sub-decibel coupling efficiency. Both types of couplers are fabricated on the silicon-on-insulator platform with dimensions of merely. The gratings in a waveguide can be either periodic index modulation or periodic structural corrugation.
