4-Channel Arrayed Waveguide Grating (4ch AWG): Operating Principle and Superior Performance
Arrayed Waveguide Grating Operating Principle
Based on the core principles of arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs), the 4ch AWG achieves wavelength multiplexing and demultiplexing of optical signals through a periodically arranged waveguide array. When an optical signal containing multiple wavelengths is input, the AWG utilizes phase differences and interference effects between waveguides to precisely separate the different wavelengths into their corresponding output channels. This physical isolation mechanism ensures pure signal transmission and avoids crosstalk between wavelengths. Through optimized waveguide design, the 4ch AWG further enhances isolation accuracy and transmission efficiency, providing a reliable wavelength management solution for optical communication systems.
