Abstract

It is shown that waveguide lenses, input/output couplers, and beam-splitters can be achromatized using conventional components in combination with diffractive elements. Experimental results are presented which show that it is possible to obtain achromatic performance over wavelength ranges that are larger than the wavelength range associated with conventional laser diodes.
