Abstract:

We propose and analyse two novel mesh design geometries, the hexagonal and the triangular lattice, for the implementation of tunable optical cores in programmable photonic processors and universal couplers. They are compared to a previously proposed square mesh topology in terms of a series of figures of merit that account for metrics that are relevant to on-chip integration of the mesh finding that hexagonal mesh is the most suitable option. We then exemplify the use of this mesh topology in the implementation of a universal coupler device.
