A multiplexer/demultiplexer (10) for routing different wavelength signals between a common pathway (12) for conveying a plurality of the signals, and individual pathways (14a-14b) for separately conveying the signals, includes a reflective diffraction grating (16) with reduced polarization sensitivity for dispersing the signals. The grating (16) includes facets (20) that are oriented for reducing efficiency variations within a transmission bandwidth and that are shaped for reducing differences between the diffraction efficiencies in two orthogonal directions of polarization.

La présente invention a trait à un multiplexeur-démultiplexeur (10) permettant de distribuer des signaux de longueurs d'ondes différentes entre une voie d'accès commune (12) permettant de transmettre plusieurs signaux et des voies d'accès individuelles (14a-14b) permettant de transmettre les signaux séparément. Ledit multiplexeur-démultiplexeur (10) comprend un réseau de diffraction réfléchissant (16) à sensibilité réduite à la polarisation qui disperse les signaux. Ledit réseau (16) est muni de facettes (20) orientées de manière à réduire les écarts de rendement à l'intérieur d'une largeur de bande de transmission, et dont la forme permet de réduire les différences entre les rendements de diffraction dans deux directions orthogonales de polarisation.
