1. An optical device comprising:

  • a plurality of channel waveguides; and

    a plurality of optical elements arranged along at least a portion of each channel waveguide of the plurality of the channel waveguides to interact with light propagating in the channel waveguides, wherein a period of the plurality of optical elements changes nonlinearly along the portion of the channel waveguides;

    wherein the channel waveguides are optically coupled to each other;

    wherein each channel waveguide of the plurality of waveguides comprises a plurality of planar surfaces;

    wherein the optical elements comprise corrugations on opposite planar surfaces of the channel waveguides;

    wherein the corrugations have a sinusoidal profile.
