Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG) is a device which can separate or combine signals with different wavelengths. It’s capable of multiplexing a large number of wavelengths into a single optical fiber, thereby increase the transmission capacity of optical networks considerably. AWG offers high wavelength selectivity, low insertion loss, small size. It’s commonly used as optical (de)multiplexers in DWDM systems.
