Abstract
A photonic interconnect switch is formed by first and second linear optical waveguides that cross to form an intersection. First and second redirecting photonic ring resonators are coupled together in an intermediate optical coupling zone and are controllable with an electrical signal. The first ring resonator is coupled to the first optical waveguide in a first optical coupling zone. The second ring resonator is coupled to the second optical waveguide in a second optical coupling zone.
