## Abstract An efficient technique is proposed to flatten the spectral response of an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer. By subtracting an increment from the length difference of odd arrayed waveguides and by adding the same increment to that of even arrayed waveguides, a boxlike spectral

Abstract
A novel structure of arrayed‐waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexers with a graded‐index free‐propagation region (FPR) used to increase the wavelength pass band is presented. The 1‐dB and 3‐dB wavelength pass bands increase with the increase of the graded‐index FPR length. Flat and broadened spectral responses are obtained by using this novel structure. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
