Arbitrarily routed mode-division multiplexed photonic circuits for dense integration

On-chip mode-division multiplexing has many challenges including crosstalk, losses, and footprint.  Here the authors use a nanohole metastructure to create multiplexed bends and crossings for photonic data communications circuit routing with high density that combats these challenges.
