Abstract

An optical wavelength demultiplexer includes a wavelength demultiplexing device, a first wavelength filter and a first- and second-stage wavelength sub-filters. The wavelength demultiplexing device demultiplexes an input light into a first wavelength band including wavelengths λand λin the vicinity of 1310 nm and a second wavelength band including a wavelength λof 1490 nm and a wavelength λof 1550 nm to output. The first-stage wavelength sub-filter removes the wavelength λlonger than 1310 nm from the second wavelength band and transmits the wavelength λof 1490 nm. The second-stage wavelength sub-filter removes the wavelength λof 1550 nm and outputs the wavelength λof 1490 nm, which is the remainder of the selected lights, with a sufficient wavelength spectral purity.
