How to achieve interoperability between A and B using wavelength division multiplexing principle

Here, we develop a novel design approach that co-optimizes inverse-designed wavelength division multiplexers and distributed Bragg gratings to achieve ultra-low crosstalk without compromising insertion loss. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology for increasing the transmission capacity of optical fiber communications by sending multiple data channels simultaneously through a single fiber, each on a different wavelength of light. To begin with, we assume that we have the element parameters from a known process design kit (PDK).
