ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an optical demultiplexer whose "color band" is adjustable, so that the demultiplexer can always be adapted to future standards. The adjustment is performed either by tilting the optical grating with respect to the light beam incident thereon or by deflecting the light by means of a liquid crystal arranged in the light path.
