Abstract
A photonic node includes a first circuit disposed on a first substrate and a second circuit disposed on a second substrate different from the first substrate. The first circuit is configured to route light signals originated from the photonic node to local nodes of a local group in which the photonic node is a member. The second circuit is configured to route light signals received from a node of an external group in which the photonic node is not a member, to one of the local nodes.
