ABSTRACT:
Roughly described, an AWG has a waveguide array and a region of vertical-only confinement that is shared for both input and output beams of the waveguide array. The AWG layout is such that the input and output beams to and from the waveguide array cross each other within the region of vertical-only confinement.
