Abstract :
Experimental results of a new multiplexer using light source polarisations for a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission system are described. This multiplexer has 2 channels in the 1.2 ¿m wavelength region. Insertion losses not taking reflection losses of lenses into account are estimated to be less than 0.25 dB. This multiplexer is applicable only in laser diode systems.
