Abstract
An elementary photonic interconnect switch is integrated into an optoelectronic chip and includes four simple photonic interconnect switches. Each simple photonic interconnect switch has two optical waveguides that cross and are linked by a ring resonator having one ring. A basic photonic interconnect switch, a complex photonic interconnect switch and/or a photonic interconnect network are integrated into an optoelectronic chip and including at least two elementary photonic interconnect switches.
