Abstract
A study was performed on the effects of power truncation on the insertion loss and crosstalk of arrayed-waveguide grating devices. It was found that the central peak insertion loss decreased exponentially with the number of grating waveguides. The results showed that the crosstalk decreased with increased number of waveguides and the measured dependence showed valleys and peaks associated with the passband spectrum of individual channels.
