| 摘要 |
The invention provides an integrated photonic component (100) for polarization insensitive wavelength multiplexing comprising an arrayed waveguide grating, AWG, (1) having a predetermined polarization splitting and a MZI-based polarization beam splitter (8) that is configured to compensate the predetermined polarization splitting of the AWG (1). The result is a fabrication tolerant integrated photonic component (100) that is operable over a wide number of limited bandwidth wavelength channels of a wavelength division multiplexing, WDM, system. The invention further provides a photonic integrated circuit, PIC, (200) for use in a WDM system. The PIC (200) comprises the integrated photonic component (100) of the invention. Furthermore, the invention provides a method of designing the integrated photonic component (100) set forth. |
