Abstract
A multi-channel wavelength division multiplexing/demultiplexing device includes optical filters for respective optical channels, and at least one microlens. The optical filters guide a light beam to travel along a preset optical path, and each optical filter filters a specific and different range of wavelength, and has a first surface for incident and reflective light, and a second surface for outgoing light through penetration as an output beam for the corresponding channel. Each microlens is installed between two adjacent optical filters to adjust optical beam shape of the traveling light along the optical path, particularly, altering a beam waist of a Gaussian beam and an imaging position to greatly increase optical efficiency of collimators for the whole system.
