An optical apparatus includes at least one input waveguide and a first free space region connected to the input waveguide. A first plurality of waveguides is connected to the first free space region. An optical grating, which is connected to the first plurality of waveguides, includes a plurality of unequal length waveguides that are divided into at least three waveguide groups. Adjacent waveguides that belong to the same group have a substantially constant path length difference between them while adjacent waveguides belonging to different groups of waveguides have a path length difference between them that differs from the constant path length difference by an odd integer multiple of one-half a preselected wavelength. A second plurality of waveguides is connected to the optical grating and a second free space region is connected to the second plurality of waveguides. Atleast one output waveguide is connected to the second free space region. As a result of this arrangement, this optical apparatus has a spectral efficiency which is maximized by providing a relatively wide passband and a relatively narrow channel spacing for a given crosstalk level.
