The present invention relates to a wavelength demultiplexer. More
particularly, the present invention provides the wavelength demultiplexer
with straight optical waveguide that minimizes the bending loss of optical
waveguide caused in the wavelength demultiplexer. A wavelength
demultiplexer with straight optical waveguide in accordance with the
present invention comprises an optical power distributor, a plurality of
optical waveguides, and an optical power combiner. The optical power
distributor evenly divides multiplexed input light by intensity. The
number of optical waveguide transmits the divided multiplexed light and
causes constant optical path length differences among adjacent waveguides.
The optical waveguide is straight optical waveguide and includes two parts
of different effective refractive indices. The optical power combiner
receives output signals of the plurality of optical waveguides and
separates the output signals by phase.
