1. A photonic device, comprising:
input region adapted to receive an optical signal including a multiplexed channel, the multiplexed channel characterized by a distinct wavelength;
a dispersive region, optically coupled with the input region to receive the optical signal, the dispersive region including a plurality of sub-regions defined by an inhomogeneous arrangement of a first material and a second material; and
a plurality of output regions, optically coupled with the input region via the dispersive region;
wherein:
the plurality of sub-regions include an input channel section, an in-coupler section, a parallel channel section, an out-coupler section, and an output channel section; and
the plurality of sub-regions together configure the photonic device to demultiplex the optical signal and to isolate the multiplexed channel at a first output region of the plurality of output regions.
