Abstract
We demonstrate a 1×1014 channel wavelength demultiplexer with 50 GHz pitch and a 594 nm total bandwidth. The hybrid AWG/grating produced a 26×39 array of wavelength-demultiplexed spots measured by an InGaAs camera and by a scanned output fiber used to sample the output. Insertion loss was <10 dB for all channels measured within the 1270 nm to 1700 nm operating range (700 total channels). BER measurements show a 0.1 dB power penalty at 10 GB/s.
