We present a novel band demultiplexer design for planar lightwave circuits. It consists of two perfectly sampled waveguide grating routers connected by sets of equal-path-length waveguides separated on one side. Its advantages are compactness, sharp passband corners, and a lack of chromatic dispersion.
