Compact and high-resolution 256-channel silicon nitride based AWG-spectrometer for OCT on a chip
- We present design, simulation and technological verification of a compact 256-channel, 42-GHz silicon nitride based AWG-spectrometer. The spectrometer was designed for TM-polarized light with a central wavelength of 850 nm, applying “AWG-Parameters” tool. This design is based on a previous study of various AWG designs (8-channel, 100-GHz; 20-channel, 50-GHz; 40-channel, 50-GHz, 80-channel, 50-GHz and 160-channel, 50-GHz AWGs), which were all technologically verified. The spectrometer features small size and high resolution. It is integrated on OCT chip using standard CMOS processes. The SD-OCT system is developed to operate in a wavelength range from 800 nm to 900 nm, having 0.1 nm resolution.
