Zusammenfassung:An optical reflector, an optical multiplexer/demultiplexer device and an optical system which can allow more flexible arrangement of an optical filter thereof, and enhance performance of wavelength division multiplexing communication thereof are provided.An optical reflector according to the present invention comprises a first and second optical fiber , each being connected to one side of an optical propagating region such as a rod lens causing optical strength distributions depending on respective wavelengths of lights to be propagated in the optical propagating region; a mirror disposed on the other side of the optical propagating region; and an optical filter disposed between the first and second optical fibers and the mirror The optical filter is reflected a light having a first wavelength and allows another light having a second wavelength to be transmitted therethrough; and the mirror is reflected the light having the second wavelength, so that the lights having the first and second wavelengths are propagated between the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber
