EPIPPROP

AWG Model

In addition to the standard features of Epipprop's model, our AWG model includes the following features:

• Tunable grating templates for AWGs.

• Simple parameterised design: choose wavelength, diffraction order, waveguide geometry, mode of operation and number of waveguides and let Epipprop create the arrayed waveguide paths.

• Space output waveguide channels by wavelength and frequency.

• Model the effect of material loss and scattering loss in the array of waveguides.

• Simulate simple adiabatic tapered structures on AWG to free propagation region interface.
