Abstract
A new principle for flattening AWG responses is demonstrated. The approach works in
reflection, where the spectrum of the reflected light shows a box like shape, with only a
small passband ripple. The method is in principle lossless. The main part of the device
is formed by a general multimode intetference reflectoc This MIR works as a retro
reflector that not only preserves the field shape, but also the position of the field. A pure
propagation direction reversal is obtained in this wa~y The theory behind the principle is
explained, and we present simulation results and initial measurement results.
