Abstract :
A wavelength router with a maximally flat passband produced by spatial filtering is described. The router is suitable for long haul and local area networks. It is realised in integrated form using silica-over-silicon technology. It features a wide passband, low crosstalk and an excess loss close to 2.5 dB
