N × N Reconfigurable Nonblocking Polymer/Silica Hybrid Planar Optical Switch Matrix Based on Total-Internal-Reflection Effect

We present a reconfigurable model for N × N non-blocking optical switch matrix (OSM) constituted by N(N-1)/2 2 × 2 thermo-optic polymer/silica hybrid total-internal-reflection switch elements. The number of the elements in the general model is reduced by about 50% compared to t...
