Athermal AWGs in SOI by overlaying a polymer cladding on narrowed arrayed waveguides

Athermal AWGs in SOI are experimentally demonstrated for the first time to our knowledge. By using narrowed arrayed waveguides and overlaying of polymer, we obtain a wavelength temperature dependence of 7.1pm/°C and good optical properties.
