Abstract
A device for crossing optical beams. At least a first input optical waveguide is directed along a first axis, a second optical waveguide is directed along a second axis inclined with respect to the first axis, and a photonic crystal having a regular periodicity in an optical crossing region at the intersection of said first and second axis has, opposite the first and second input waveguides, a first and a second output waveguide to provide for exit beams.
