Abstract
Performance of optical interconnects using volume holographic gratings and substrate-guided waves is subject to source wavelength detuning which originates from laser chirping and operating temperature changes. In this letter, we characterize and measure the dispersion of commonly used surface-normal volume holographic gratings. Dispersion characteristics of a 20 μm thick photopolymer volume holographic grating are evaluated. A dispersion correction method is demonstrated to provide a dispersion-free surface-normal optical interconnect using two dispersion-compensated volume holographic gratings and substrate-guided waves which automatically compensate the dispersion that results from detuning over a 5.7 nm bandwidth.
