Abstract
A device includes a module comprising an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG), and a filter having a filter input port, a filter output port, and a filter COMM output port. The filter is operable such that a first range of wavelengths entering the filter at the filter input port is directed to the filter output port and a second range of wavelengths entering the filter at the filter input port is directed to the COMM output port. The AWG includes an AWG input port optically coupled to the filter output port to receive the first range of wavelengths, and a plurality of AWG output ports.
