Abstract
An optical demultiplexer to reduce the number of expensive dispersion compensators when compensating secondary dispersion during demultiplexing. By providing optical circulators, dispersion compensators, and optical filters that reflect specified wavelengths and transmit wavelengths other than the specified wavelengths from among the outputs of the dispersion compensators, and causing specified wavelengths to make round trips of the dispersion compensators, the dispersion volume of the dispersion compensators is reduced.
