• Abstract : We report a detailed description of the design guidelines for a full encoder/decoder that is able to generate/process a set of optical codes simultaneously. The device has an array waveguide grating configuration, but the corresponding design rules are different from those of a multiplexer/demultiplexer. In an accurate model, based on the diffraction theory, we analyze the slab diffraction effect and the loss nonuniformity. Furthermore, the performance of the phase shift keyed codes simultaneously generated by the device and the corresponding packet loss probability are also investigated.
