Abstract
A waveguide that is operative to produce a reflected optical signal having a spectral profile corresponding to a product of a spectral profile of an input optical signal and a predetermined complex-valued spectral filtering function wherein the waveguide includes a plurality of spatially distinct subgratings each possessing a periodic array of diffraction elements. The subgratings are situated and configured based on the predetermined complex-valued spectral filtering function.
