Abstract
An apparatus for alleviating a nonlinear temperature effect of an arrayed waveguide grating, comprising an integrated optical circuit base for an arrayed waveguide grating chip and an actuator. The integrated optical circuit base includes a first region, a second region connected by a hinge. The actuator includes two or more actuating rods having a thermal expansion coefficient different from that of the integrated optical circuit base. In different temperature ranges, the first region and the second region are driven by different actuating rods to rotate and/or translate relative to each other, so that the first region and the second region have a nonlinear displacement as the temperature changes, which brings the two parts of the arrayed waveguide grating chip to move relative to each other to accurately compensate drifting of a central wavelength of the arrayed waveguide grating chip in the different temperature ranges.
