Abstract

Multiple Bragg gratings are fabricated in a single planar lightwave circuit platform. The gratings have nominally identical grating spacing but different center wavelengths, which are produced using controlled photolithographic processes and/or controlled doping to control the effective refractive index of the gratings. The gratings may be spaced closer together than the height of the UV light pattern used to write the gratings.
