ABSTRACT:
Polarization combiners and dividers are used in combination with WDM multiplexers and demultiplexers to create fiberoptic network systems with increased bandwidth and number of network users. Besides wavelength, the state of polarization of the optical signals creates different communication channels for the network system. The present invention is adaptable to many different fiberoptic network arrangements.
