A complexity analysis of smart pixel switching nodes for photonic Extended Generalized Shuffle switching networks

Free-space digital optics is evolving as a new interconnection technology that may permit signals to be routed between digital integrated circuits as beams of light propagating orthogonal to the plane of the device substrates. This approach to device connectivity may offer several system-level benefits, including high bandwidth, high density connectivity (parallelism), low signal skew, low channel crosstalk, nd lower overall system power dissipation.
