A method for integrating power monitoring capabilities with passive demultiplexing operations, utilizing the high-order diffraction from an optical diffraction grating. The technique helps avoid insertion loss and polarization dependent loss penalties, and device size penalties, typically incurred with optical taps and multiple diffraction gratings. The technique can also be modified slightly to provide information on channel wavelength and optical signal-to-noise-ratio, as well as channel power.
