A silicon photonic chip-scale AWGR switch for high performance computing systems

This paper demonstrates a silicon-photonic AWGR-based optical switch for HPC systems. Simulations show high throughput and low latency even at high input load. A fabricated silicon-photonic AWGR switch with 32 Tx/Rx pairs showed error-free performance.
