Abstract
A spectral light division and recombination configuration has an incident face for light to be divided, at least one emergent face for recombined light and a spectrally selective division and recombination device. The spectrally selective division and recombination device has a polarization-selective division and recombination configuration whereon light of one spectral range (&Dgr;&lgr; ) is separated from light of other spectral ranges (&Dgr;&lgr; , &Dgr;&lgr; ) or light of the one spectral range (&Dgr;&lgr; ) is recombined with light of the other spectral ranges (&Dgr;&lgr; , &Dgr;&lgr; ).
