Abstract
The ray-tracing method is applied to design a wavelength multiplexer-d emultiplexer by the use of planar microlenses as focusing and collimat ing elements. By simulating both uniform and Gaussian intensity distri butions of the input sources, we find the position of the input-output components of the wavelength multiplexer-demultiplexer, which maximiz es the coupling efficiency in each channel. Losses are also evaluated.
