Methods and apparatuses for filtering optical channels to provide, for example, an interleaver, or a deinterleaver. A multi-plate comb filter is used to separate subsets of channels and for mixing subsets of channels. Interleavers and deinterleavers having one or more multi-plate comb filters can be used to increase the bandwidth of an optical network. The interleavers and deinterleavers can be used to interface components designed for a first channel spacing to components designed for a second channel spacing.
