摘要： The present invention relates to an optical multiplexer/demultiplexer. In the multiplexer/demultiplexer, a first grating receives to diffract a multi-wavelength light signal from a first port into light signals with different wavelengths. A second grating diffracts these light signals towards second ports. The second grating is disposed parallel with the first grating. The second grating has the same grating interval and grating direction as the first grating. The light signals diffracted by the second grating travel parallel with each other. Therefore, the light signals can efficiently enter the second ports without sophisticated lens design and adjustment of the optical system.

摘要： An optical filter has a first long-period grating and a second long-period grating formed in a unitary optical fiber. A difference is not less than 100 nm between a wavelength at which optical coupling is maximum between core-mode light and cladding-mode light of a predetermined mode number in the first long-period grating and a wavelength at which optical coupling is maximum between core-mode light and cladding-mode light of the same mode number as the cladding-mode light of the predetermined mode number, in the second long-period grating. This optical filter can be constructed in compact size and can readily implement a desired transmission characteristic.
