A. Lupu et al., Three-waveguide two-grating codirectional coupler for 1.3(-)/1.3(+)/1.5 mum demultiplexing in transceiver, ELECTR LETT, 36(24), 2000, pp. 2030-2032
A multiplexer/demultiplexer based on a meander-type InP grating-assisted co
directional coupler is reported. It provides simultaneous bidirectional ope
ration at two different wavelengths within the same 1.3 mum window, as well
as high bit rate distribution ae 1.5 mum. The same demultiplexer is usable
in both optical terminals of a 1.3(+) or 1.3(-)/1.5 mum access network.
