Here, we develop a novel design approach that co-optimizes inverse-designed wavelength division multiplexers and distributed Bragg gratings to achieve ultra-low crosstalk without compromising insertion loss. This collection encompasses a variety of research papers, conference proceedings, and technical articles that explore both foundational. Abstract Wavelength division multiplexing or WDM allows the combining of a number of independent information-carrying wavelengths onto the same fiber, because of the wide spectral region in which optical signals can be transmitted efficiently. This chapter addresses the operating principles of WDM. backward scattering from defects. Here we theoretically demonstrate a WDM device in the t lecommunication range based on all-dielectric silicon topological valley photonic crystal (VPC) structures.
