We compare the performance of silicon-based arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) with star couplers of Rowland and Confocal configurations, respectively, for both TE and TM polarizations.

A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a type of distributed Bragg reflector constructed in a short segment of optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light and transmits all others. This is achieved by creating a periodic variation in the refractive index of the fiber core, which generates a wavelength-specific dielectric mirror. The term type in this context refers to the underlying mechanism by which grating fringes are produced in the fiber.

Planar waveguides are optical waveguides with a planar geometry that confine light propagation to a single dimension. They are often fabricated in the form of a thin transparent film with increased refractive index on some substrate, or possibly embedded between two substrate layers. FIMMPROP is probably the most widely used propagation tool for the modelling of silicon photonics: rigorous (no slowly varying approximation), fully vectorial, offering wide angle capability and very high design flexibility.

Improved Phase-Mask Fabrication of Fiber Bragg Gratings An improved method of fabrication of Bragg gratings in optical fibers combines the best features of two prior methods: one that involves the use of a phase mask and one that involves interference between the two. We present to the best of our knowledge the first example of femtosecond laser inscription/ablation of phase/amplitude masks for the demonstrated purpose of inscribing Bragg gratings in optical fibers. The phase mask technique used for writing fiber gratings has the advantages over the traditional holographic method because of its.
