Abstract: We present a theoretical investigation of femtosecond flat-topped pulse sequence generation using an ArrayedWaveguide Grating in a double passed configuration.We present low insertion loss designs using phase-only filters designed using numerical optimization. The designs are also analyzed for robustness to fabrication errors.
