Abstract :
We design and demonstrate interleaved sampled Bragg gratings with concatenated spectrum which produce high channel counts with simple design and fabrication. These gratings can be applied in multichannel filtering, dispersion compensation, and many other functions. The devices were implemented as reduction-photolithographically written anti-symmetric Bragg gratings
