Compact wavelength division multiplexers and demultiplexers

Novel compact devices for wavelength division multiplexing and demultiplexing are presented. These devices are based on planar optics configurations. A method for designing and recording such planar devices is described. Experimental procedures and results for devices that can handle three closely separated wavelengths in the visible as well as near infrared radiation are presented.
