Title:
DENSE WAVELENGTH DIVISION MULTIPLEXER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001022137
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
The present invention provides a dense wavelength division multiplexer for separating an optical signal into optical channels which minimizes channel leakage. The multiplexer includes a mechanism for inputting an optical signal, the optical signal having a plurality of optical channels; at least one channel separator (101) optically coupled to the inputting mechanism; at least one dense optical channel comb filter (202A, 202B) optically coupled to the at least one channel separator (101); and a mechanism for outputting the separated plurality of optical channels along a plurality of optical paths, optically coupled to the at least one dense optical channel separator (101).
