A 32-channel 50 GHz spaced arrayed-waveguide grating(AWG) with our innovative configuration has been designed and fabricated.The performance of the device has been fully tested by using a system that consists of a tunable laser light source (TLS), an optical power meter and a polarization controller.The insertion loss (IS) of the device is 4.2-7.4 dB.The crosstalk is about -28 dB.The IS uniformity is less than 3.3 dB.With our configuration,the performance of the device has been enhanced effectively and the difficulty in alignment process has been decreased obviously.
