Wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) systems is the key technology for the next generation high speed optical fibre systems.

The position of the two identical gratings has to be accurately controlled to provide in-phase reflection in the two arms of each coupler. This interferometric set-up requires path-length trimming during device fabrication and the correct optical phase needs to be maintained during the device lifetime.

Abstract
Wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) systems is the key technology for the next generation high speed optical fibre systems. Technologies for routing on a channel to channel basis in such systems are under intensive research. All-fibre channel add/drop filters with low insertion loss are required. The dominant approach is a device based on two Bragg gratings in the arms of two concatenated 3 dB fused fibre couplers [1]. The position of the two identical gratings has to be accurately controlled to provide in-phase reflection in the two arms of each coupler. This interferometric set-up requires path-length trimming during device fabrication and the correct optical phase needs to be maintained during the device lifetime.
