Abstract :
The authors have designed and fabricated monolithic optical waveguide 1.31/1.55 μm WDMs with -50 dB crosstalk over 100 nm bandwidth and fibre-to-fibre insertion loss of <1 dB. They have used these WDMs to multiplex and demultiplex 60 analogue CATV channels at 1.31 μm and 85 digital video channels at 1.55 μm on a single optical fibre
