Abstract
Described herein are optical fiber shuffle circuits designed to programmably interconnect any number of ports without having to rely on thousands of optical fibers or more. The optical fiber shuffle circuits developed by the inventors and described herein can be built into photonic interposers. Photonic interposers of the types described herein include, for example, semiconductor substrates patterned (photolithographically) with photonic integrated circuits such as waveguides, modulators, photodetectors, switches, couplers, etc., or any combination thereof.
