Hybrid Photonic-Plasmonic Nonblocking Broadband 5 × 5 Router for Optical Networks

Photonic data routing in optical networks is expected to overcome the limitations of electronic routers with respect to data rate, latency, and energy consumption. However, photonics-based routers suffer from dynamic power consumption, and nonsimultaneous usage of multiple wavelength channels when m...
