ABSTRACT:
A microchip may include an optical signal routing system. The optical routing system may include a distribution waveguide coupled to a light source and signaling waveguides interconnecting source and destination locations. A directional coupler may be used to couple and modulate light from the distribution waveguide to a signaling waveguide at a source location. A photodetector may be used to convert light signals from the source location into electrical signals at the destination.
