title = "Loss reduction for phased-array demultiplexers using a double etch technique",
abstract = "Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is an effective technique to exploit the huge bandwidth of optical fibres. Key components in such WDM-systems are demultiplexers which spatially separate the different wavelength channels. Phased-array demultiplexers combine ease of fabrication and low insertion losses. A method is presented for reducing the loss of phased-array wavelength demultiplexers. Feasibility of the concept is demonstrated experimentally for an 8 channel demultiplexer with 2 nm channel spacing employing non-birefringent InGaAsP-on-InP raised strip waveguides. A loss reduction of 1.7 dB for TE polarization and 1.3 dB for TM polarization is demonstrated experimentally",
