ABSTRACT:
An optical demultiplexer, having an angular dispersion generator followed by an angular amplifier. The angular dispersion generator disperses an incident optical signal into a plurality of channels. While traveling through the angular dispersion amplifier, the channels with incident angles larger than a critical angle are internally totally reflected, and the channels with incident angles smaller than the critical angle are partly reflected, and partly transmitting into an ambient medium. The transmitting part of the channels are thus further dispersed and demultiplexed.
