Here we incorporate waveguide filters into the design of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) components. Conventionally, such designs are not considered because waveguide filters provide high back-reflection for any wavelengths they don't pass, and such back-reflections are typically intolerable. In this work, this back-reflection problem is alleviated by co-design of a WDM splitter and the waveguide filters such that the design of the WDM splitter accounts for the back-reflections provided by the waveguide filters. This can be regarded as a design that passively routes back-reflections at splitter outputs to the appropriate splitter outputs. Such designs can be obtained by numerical minimization of a cost function, e.g. a cost function that penalizes insertion loss and input back-reflection.
