Planar Light wave Circuits: Reviews and Applications
Abstract: PLCs are waveguide devices that integrate fiber-matched optical waveguides on a silicon or glass substrate to provide an efficient means of interaction for guided-wave optical signals. PLCs are used in optical wavelength-division multiplexing, time-division multiplexing systems, and subscriber networks. This study examines recent advancements in PLC technologies such as arrayed-waveguide grating multiplexers, optical add-drop multiplexers, and hybrid optoelectronics integration technologies, as well as their future possibilities. Silicon photonics has lately …
