A compact and easily manufacturable waveguide optical frequency router (10) is provided. The router (10) has a transmit core region (12) and a plurality of receive core regions (14) formed within a slab region (18). The router (10) further includes an array of distributed Bragg deflectors (DBDs) (16) formed within the core regions (12,14) for coupling optical energy (20) between the transmit core region (12) and the receive core regions (14) via the slab region (18). The array of DBDs (16) distributes the optical energy (20) between the receive core regions (14) based on optical wavelength and propagation angle.
