Abstract
The realisation and systems performance of an optical add drop multiplexer (OADM) based on a grating-assisted Mach-Zehnder interferometer imprinted on photosensitive-cladding fibre are reported. This component provides low short wavelength losses, a high return loss at the input port, low chromatic dispersion and low PMD. A thorough characterisation is presented of the device and its system performance for multiwavelength transmission at 10 Gbit/s per channel, showing compatibility with 50 GHz grid dense WDM systems.
