ABSTRACT:
An optical filter comprises a waveguide and a plurality of Slanted Bragg Gratings written in the waveguide, wherein at least two of the Slanted Bragg Gratings overlap one another. A method of producing an optical filter comprises the steps of passing an ultraviolet light through a first portion of a chirped phase mask onto a first portion of a photosensitive waveguide so as to form a first Slanted Bragg Grating in the first portion of the waveguide and passing the ultraviolet light through a second portion of the chirped phase mask onto a second portion of the photosensitive waveguide so as to form a second Slanted Bragg Grating in the second portion of the waveguide, wherein the first and second Slanted Bragg Gratings overlap one another. A further annealing step may cause a spectrum of the filter to match a target spectrum.
