A grating is provided having a generally s-shaped waveguide configuration. The grating includes a plurality of waveguides arranged adjacent to one another to form an array. The array (32) includes a first portion (34) bending in a counter-clockwise direction (36), a second portion (38) bending in a clockwise direction (40), and a third portion (38') extending in a straight direction. The arc length of each waveguide along the counter-clockwise cause some waveguides to be longer than others. This results in a clear separation of the individual waveguides. Further, the overall dimension of the grating is smaller than conventional devices which leads to reduced cross-talk.
