Recent progress on athermal AWG wavelength multiplexer

This paper describes recent progress in relation to the key requirements for athermal arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexers with resin-filled grooves, namely a wide passband and low loss, compactness and a wide operating temperature range.
