ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A symmetrical waveguide coupler having two signal channels for coupling a first signal having a wavelength .lambda.1 and a second signal having a wavelength .lambda.2 which is longer than .lambda.1. The coupler includes a carrier substrate and first and second dielectric strips embedded in the substrate to form two identical dielectric waveguides which together with the substrate define a coupling region. The first waveguide has first and second arms connected to the coupling region and the second waveguide has a third arm connected to the coupling region. The second and third arms are oriented in a direction facing away from the first arm. The dielectric strips are so dimensioned and arranged within the substrate as to present an effective coupling length c1L1 equal to .pi./2 at a wavelength of .lambda.1 for coupling the first signal between the first and third arms and an effective coupling length c1L1 equal to .pi. at a wavelength of .lambda.2 for coupling the second signal between the first and second arms, with c1 being the coupling coefficient between the fundamental modes of the signals in the strips and a function of wavelength, and L1 being the length of the coupling region.
