Rearrangeable-Nonblocking Five-Port Silicon Optical Switch for 2-D-Mesh Network on Chip

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a five-port silicon optical switch based on the optimized Spanke-Beneš structure for 2-D-mesh network on chip. We optimize it by substituting optical waveguide crossings for 2 × 2 optical switching units. By this approach, the total nu...
