Arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) are commonly used as optical (de)multiplexers in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems. This technique enables bidirectional communications over a. Abstract: Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) is a fiber-optic transmission technique that employs light wavelengths to transmit data parallel-by-bit or serial-by-character. In DWDM system, the channels are very closely spaced. This technique has a high flexibility in expanding bandwidth. g and dispersive properties. AWG has filtering characteristics and versatility, which can obtain a large number of wavelengths and channels, to realize the multiplexing and demultiplexing.
