Abstract:
An optical multiplexer/demultiplexer may include some beam splitters on the first surface, a first reflector on the first surface and between the beam splitters, and a second reflector on the second surface. Light propagates between the first surface and the second surface. The light transmission body has some first input/output sections on the first surface for inputting or outputting the respective signal beams. The light transmission body has a second input/output section on the second surface for inputting or outputting the multiplexed signal beam. Each of the beam splitters is placed at a corresponding one of the first input/output sections to pass a corresponding one of the signal beams. The first reflector stays away from any one of the first input/output sections.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical subassembly comprising:\n some optical elements for inputting or outputting respective signal beams with different wavelengths; and an optical multiplexer/demultiplexer for converting between the signal beams and a multiplexed signal beam, wherein the optical multiplexer/demultiplexer includes a light transmission body with a first surface and a second surface parallel and opposed to each other, some beam splitters on the first surface, a first reflector on the first surface and between the beam splitters, and a second reflector on the second surface, the light transmission body passes light to be reflected on the beam splitters, the first reflector, and the second reflector, the light propagating between the first surface and the second surface, the light transmission body has some first input/output sections on the first surface for inputting or outputting the respective signal beams, the light transmission body having a second input/output section on the second surface for inputting or outputting the multiplexed signal beam, each of the beam splitters is placed at a corresponding one of the first input/output sections to pass a corresponding one of the signal beams, and the first reflector stays away from any one of the first input/output sections.
