Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Device for use in adding or dropping light signals at predetermined center wavelengths to or from a wavelength division multiplex, fiber optic transmission system. The device includes an evanescent wave coupler having a coupling region formed from two single mode waveguides, the coupling region being formed so that there is substantially complete evanescent field coupling of light from one waveguide to the other in a predetermined wavelength band. Further, the device has a Bragg grating disposed in the coupling region in each of the waveguides.
