An ultracompact reflective arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG)(de) multiplexer based on Si
nanowires is demonstrated for the first time (to our knowledge). Each waveguide in the array
has an individual photonic crystal (PhC) reflector at its end, making the AWG layout design
very flexible. An eight-channel AWG (de) multiplexer with a channel spacing of 400 GHz is
demonstrated experimentally. The total size of the fabricated AWG is as small as 134μm×
115μm. The excess loss of the fabricated reflective AWG (de) multiplexer is about 3–4 dB …

The excess loss of the fabricated reflective AWG (de)multiplexer is about 3–4 dB, and the crosstalk is about −12dB.
