• In this article, we present for the first time to our knowledge, a DWDM <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">16\times 16 </tex-math></inline-formula> silicon photonic cyclic-frequency AWGR device. The AWGR features a channel spacing of 1.06 nm (189 GHz), a free spectral range of 17.80 nm (3.16 THz) and a 3-dB channel bandwidth of 0.65 nm (116 GHz). Its proper cyclic-frequency operation was experimentally verified for all <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">16\times 16 </tex-math></inline-formula> channels with channel peak insertion loss values in the range of 3.90 dB to 8.37 dB, yielding a channel loss non-uniformity of 4.47 dB. Its compact footprint of 0.27 mm <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">\times0.71 </tex-math></inline-formula> mm and its low crosstalk value of 21.65 dB highlight its potential for employment in future AWGR-based interconnect schemes in O-band.
