Abstract: Electronically controllable arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) with integrated phase error compensation for each individual arm of the array of waveguides. These AWGs and associated methods for static and dynamic phase compensation enable the fabrication of tunable AWGs which can track one or more drifting channels of an AWG.
