Ultrawide-passband tandem MZI-synchronized AWG and group delay ripple balancing out technique

We propose and demonstrate a novel wide passband MZI-synchronized AWG and a simple way to eliminate its group delay ripple. We obtained a 0.5-dB passband of 69 GHz and a 0.5 ps total GDR for a dispersion balanced out pair.
