Abstract

The disclosed multiplexer/demultiplexer (10, 40) features input and output optical fibers (20, 22, 24, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50) coupled to one face (16) of a graded refractive index rod collimating lens (12). Associated with the other face (18) of the lens (12) are a plurality of multi-layer dielectric interference filters (26, 32, 52, 54, 56, 58) which selectively reflect the input signals at different angles according to the wavelength and thereby direct them back through the lens (12) to the appropriate output fiber.
