Abstract
A wavelength multiplexing/demultiplexing device is fabricated and used to drop/insert a single wavelength channel from/into a multiple wavel ength transmission link with 100 GHz channel-spacing at 1550 nm. The d evice consists of an all-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer with photoi nduced Bragg gratings. The following performances were measured: extra ction/coupling efficiency = 99.4%, excess loss <0.5 dB, adjacent chann el isolation > 20 dB, and return loss > 23 dB.
