Résumé	We present a comparative experimental study of three silicon photonic echelle grating demultiplexers that are integrated with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) launch structure. By appropriate choice of the MZI configuration, the temperature induced shift of the demultiplexer channel wavelengths can be suppressed (athermal) or enhanced (super-thermal) or be controlled by an on-chip micro-heater. The latter two configurations allow the channel wavelengths to be actively tuned using lower power than possible by temperature tuning a conventional echelle demultiplexer. In the athermal configuration, the measured channel spectral shift is reduced to less than 10 pm/°C, compared to the 83 pm/°C shift for an unmodified echelle device. In super-thermal operation an enhanced channel temperature tuning rate of 170 pm/°C is achieved. Finally, by modulating the MZI phase with an on-chip heater, the demultiplexer channels can be actively tuned to correct for ambient temperature fluctuations up to 20 °C, using a drive current of less than 20 mA.
