Abstract
WDM demultiplexers are provided utilizing, for example, cascaded asymmetric MZI filters, wherein the (asymmetric) differential delay is such that at the output of the first stage MZI demultiplexes the WDM channels in groups of two at its output. The result is a relaxed specification for the frequency response of the filters.
