Abstract

We demonstrate the simulation results of a skewless high density approach for a multi-channel optical cross connect using integrated free-space optics. Using the 3D nature of free-space optics, this approach is able to solve geometrical problems with static crossings of the signal paths that occur in waveguide optical and electrical interconnection, especially for large number of connections.
