Abstract
Most of the work on lightwave systems has concentrated on coupling a single source to a fiber and, hence, transmission of a singlewavelength band. The information capacity of these systems could be increased, however, by combining signals from sources emitting at different wavelengths, i.e., wavelength-division multiplexing.1 This approach, however, will require demultiplexing the different wavelength channels at the receiver. In this talk we describe a new photodiode structure capable of both detecting and demultiplexing two wavelength bands simultaneously.
