De-multiplexing free on-chip low-loss multimode switch enabling reconfigurable inter-mode and inter-path routing
Switching and routing are critical functionalities for a reconfigurable bandwidth-dense optical network, and great efforts had been made to accommodate mode-division multiplexing technology. Although the reconfigurable routing for spatial-mode groups between different optical paths was realized rece...
