ABSTRACT:
A wavelength division multiplexing or demultiplexing optical coupler of the diffraction grating type includes a pure fused silica optical element having a convex spherical surface on one end and a diffraction grating on a portion of its other end. The remaining portion of its other end receives a multiple fiber array for transmitting and receiving the light to be multiplexed or demultiplexed.
