Progress and technical challenge for planar waveguide devices: silica and silicon waveguides

The paper reviews progress and future prospects of two kinds of planar waveguide devices; they are (a) silica and silicon photonics multi/demultiplexers for communications and signal-processing applications, and (b) a novel waveguide spectrometer based on Fourier transform spectroscopy for sensing applications.
