A wavelength-dispersive device for processing a multi-channel optic signal, the device including an optic chip defining first and second diffraction gratings coupled via a first free propagation region, the second diffraction grating coupled at its output end to an array of light-receiving elements via a second free propagation region, each light-receiving element positioned to selectively receive a respective channel of the multi-channel signal, and wherein the first free propagation region includes a spatial filter defined by selective doping of the optic chip so as to preferentially transmit a selected portion of the output from the first diffraction grating to the second diffraction grating and thereby reduce cross-talk at the array of light-receiving elements.
