Abstract
A novel configuration for a multiplexer which can drop and add desired wavelength channels while transmitting other channels is proposed bas ed on an arrayed-waveguide grating geometry with loopback optical fibr e paths. A 15 channel multiplexing function with a 0.8 nm wavelength s pacing is experimentally confirmed by using silica-based planar lightw ave circuit technology.
