Abstract:A multi‐object silicon photonic spectrometer with N input ports is proposed and realized by integrating a multi‐channel passband optical filter (POF), a tunable narrow‐band optical filter as well as a calibration‐free N × 1 Mach–Zehnder switch (MZS) array. Here, the multi‐channel POF consisting of a multimode waveguide grating (MWG) and a mode (de)multiplexer is used to achieve a broadened working window and an enhanced dynamic range for the present spectrometer, while the narrow‐band optical filter is realize… Show more
