Abstract
An integrated photonic component () for polarization insensitive wavelength multiplexing includes an arrayed waveguide grating, AWG, () having a predetermined polarization splitting and a MZI-based polarization beam splitter () that is configured to compensate the predetermined polarization splitting of the AWG (). The result is a fabrication tolerant integrated photonic component () that is operable over a wide number of limited bandwidth wavelength channels of a wavelength division multiplexing, WDM, system. A photonic integrated circuit, PIC, () for use in a WDM system is provided. The PIC () includes the integrated photonic component (). A method of designing the integrated photonic component () is also described.
