    Abstract: A method is described for designing a multi-channel grating structure having at least one specified spectral characteristic in a photosensitive material, the multi-channel grating structure having at least one free spectral characteristic which is not a specified spectral characteristic. An initial value is provided for each free spectral characteristic, and an initial multi-channel grating function is provided that describes an initial multi-channel grating structure by applying a spectral to spatial domain algorithm to the specified predetermined spectral characteristic using the initial value. A target multi-channel grating function is provided which describes a target multi-channel grating structure in the photosensitive material and an updated value is determined for each initial value with reference to the spectral characteristics of the target multi-channel grating function. An updated multi-channel grating function is derived which describes an updated multi-channel grating structure in the photosensitive material by applying a spectral to spatial domain algorithm to the predetermined spectral characteristic using the at least one updated value. After at least one iteration, the updated multi-channel grating function is output to describe the multi-channel grating structure.

The sampling function may be expressed as: Σ ? exp[i (K 0 z+θ+(2l-N-1)Δκz/2+φ l ]=κQ exp[i (K 0 z+θ+ψ)], where Q=Q(z) is the amplitude and ψ=ψ(z) is the phase of the sampling function, and the summation is performed over l =1,...N. The method may further include the step of determining a set of the phase shift values for which a maximum value of the sampling function amplitude is minimised.
