Multichannel optical add–drop multiplexers (OADMs) based on cascaded Bragg grating/Mach–Zehnder interferometers in silicon‐on‐insulator are reported. The OADMs are fabricated using electron beam lithography with a single etch. Three add–drop channels at wavelengths of 1542.5, 1557.0, and 1570.4 nm, each with a 3 dB bandwidth (BW) of 4 nm are obtained. All channels exhibit a transmission isolation of >20 dB, an interferometric crosstalk of <−30 dB, and a bandwidth utilisation factor of >0.5.
