A waveguide array multiplexer design that is particularly suitable for making broadband low-order devices is presented. Two-channel multiplexers at 1.0-1.55 mu m, 1.31-1.53 mu m, and 1.47-1.55 mu m are demonstrated. Compared to conventional waveguide multiplexers, these devices have wide spectral ranges of low crosstalk. The devices are polarization independent. The crosstalk and fiber-to-fiber insertion loss for the 1.31-1.53 mu m multiplexer were about -35 and -2 dB, respectively.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
