An eight-channel flat spectral response arrayed-waveguide grating multiplexer with parabolic waveguide horns has been fabricated on a planar lightwave circuit (PLC). A double-peaked intensity distribution is formed at the slab interface by the parabolic waveguide horn. A 1 dB bandwidth of 98 GHz, 3 dB bandwidth of 124 GHz and 20 dB bandwidth of 196 GHz are obtained for 200 GHz channel spacing. The crosstalk to neighbouring channels is less than –27 dB and the on-chip insertion losses range from 6.1 to 6.4 dB, respectively.
