Two Wavelength Optical Multiplexing System for Analog Data Link.

Abstract

A codirectional two-channel wavelength division multiplexing system consisting of lensed dichroic multiplex and demultiplex couplers was designed, fabricated, and tested. Optical loss in either the 780 nm or 880 nm channels was about 4 dB and crosstalk rejection was 33 dB or greater. The couplers passed O C to +50 C temperature tests, vibration tests per MIL-T-1522F(AS), and mechanical shock tests.
