In this paper, a 33 × 33 arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer has been fabricated using the poly (2,3,4,5,6‐pentafluorostyrene‐co‐glycidylmethacrylate) (PFS‐co‐GMA). The technology process of the device is described, and the measured results are presented. The measured center wavelength is 1550.85 nm, the wavelength channel spacing is about 0.81 nm, and the 3‐dB bandwidth is about 0.35 nm. The crosstalk is about −20 dB, and the insertion loss is between 10.4 dB for the central port and 11.9 dB for the edge ports. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
