Abstract
A DeMux/Mux module comprises a first submodule comprising a first fiber and a second fiber disposed symmetrically about a first optical axis of the first submodule, a first lens and a first WDM filter attached to the first lens, A first incident light is incident on the first WDM filter. Light having a first transmitted wavelength is transmitted through the first WDM filter and is output from the second fiber. Light having wavelengths other than the first transmitted wavelengths is reflected from the first WDM filter, and input to a second submodule through light propagation in free space.
