Abstract
The system () provides a photonic waveguide () formed on a substrate () and a plurality of steering mirrors () within the photonic waveguide. The steering mirrors can be configured to direct a light beam () between two or more computing components (). A plurality of steering mirror supports () are located within the waveguide having preset locations. The steering mirror supports are configured to enable the steering mirrors to be selectively repositioned at the preset steering mirror supports within the photonic waveguide to create varying configurations. The steering mirrors in the varying configurations direct one or more optical beams to form multiple connectivity channels between computing components within the photonic waveguide.
