  • Variable dual-directional thermal compensator for arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) modules
    Patent number: 11619780
    Abstract: A thermal compensator, for use in connection with arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) modules which are, in turn, utilized in conjunction with wavelength multiplexing and de-multiplexing within optical networks, is disclosed. The thermal compensator comprises a bow-shaped frame member, a central bar member, and a screw. The bow-shaped frame member is characterized by a higher or great coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than that of the central bar member such that the bow-shaped frame member can expand and elongate at a greater rate than can the central bar member under hot temperature conditions, however, under cold temperature conditions, the rate of contraction of the bow-shaped member is effectively retarded by the slower rate of contraction of the central bar member.
