Abstract
A wavelength division multiplexer is disclosed. The wavelength division multiplexer may include an input waveguide, in which a plurality of Bragg gratings for separating multiplexed optical signals into respective optical signals are provided, and a plurality of output waveguides connected to the input waveguide and configured to receive the optical signals separated by the plurality of Bragg gratings. The plurality of Bragg gratings may include a first Bragg grating including first protrusions each having a first width, and a second Bragg grating including second protrusions each having a second width larger than the first width. Each of the first and second protrusions may include a curved side surface, to which a corresponding one of the optical signals is incident.
