Abstract
An integrated signal manipulator for manipulating an optical signal. The optical signal manipulator is integrated on a single material substrate by etching a curved grating mirror. The curved grating mirror decomposes a first optical signal into focused spectral components. These focused spectral components are manipulated by signal-processing elements that are realized on the same material substrate. The manipulated spectral components are then combined by another curved grating mirror, on the same material substrate, to generate a second optical signal.
