Abstract

Silica-based planar lightwave circuits (PLC) provide various important devices for both optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks and optical access networks. This paper is an overview of recent progress in PLC technology including optical power splitters, arrayed-waveguide gratings, thermo-optic switches, and hybrid integrated PLCs.
