   Abstract

In the present paper, the study of mathematical model of the spectral sensitivity coefficients of the based materials for photonic devices such as conventional and a thermal arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) against spectral optical signal wavelength and ambient temperature sensing variations within through three different fabrication materials based waveguides employed in conventional and a thermal (AWG) in modern local area passive optical access networks based on the Mathematical Laboratory (MATLAB) curve fitting program.

Key words: Optical access networks, conventional AWG, a thermal AWG, spectral sensitivity coefficients, local area network, planar optical waveguide, nonlinear optics.
