The event Web site at: http://www.pof2013.org.br/ .In this paper, the possibility of implementing low-loss demultiplexer devices based on diffractive elements for SI-POF networks is studied. Theoretical and experimental analyses of three different diffractive setups are reported. It is also presented a 3-channel demultiplexer proposal, based on a transmission diffraction grating, with experimental insertion loss from 3.6dB to 5.8dB and adjacent channel crosstalk from −16.4dB to −28.6dB. This proposal presents low losses and low crosstalk, and it is very easy to implement in a compact reflective setup.6application/pdfeng© 2013 Plastic Optical Fiber Trade OrganizationAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 EspañaSI-POF WDMdemultiplexerdiffraction gratings.Diffraction grating-based demultiplexers for SI-POF networksconference paperElectrónicaÓpticaopen access3641The 22nd International Conference on Plastic Optical Fibers (POF 2013: ProceedingsCC/0000021974
