Abstract

Elastic optical networking introduces elasticity and adaptation into the optical domain, which highly depends on reconfigurable optical devices. In this paper, a tunable ${{4}} \times {{4}}$ arrayed waveguide grating router based on lithium niobate on insulator is designed. By using the electro-optic effect of lithium niobate, we design electrode regions with specific shapes in the array waveguide region to realize the tuning of the routing wavelength and bandwidth of the third output channel. The designed arrayed waveguide grating router (AWGR) has a dense channel spacing of 0.8 nm, and the minimum insertion loss is 2.3 dB. Experiments show that the tuning range of the central wavelength can reach 3.2 nm, and the 3 dB bandwidth can be expanded from 0.2 to 0.6 nm.
