Abstract
Apparatuses having a plurality of optical duplex and parallel connector adapters, such as MPO connectors and LC adapters, where some adapters connect to network equipment in a network and others to servers or processing units such as GPUs, incorporate internal photonic circuit with a mesh. The light path of each transmitter and receivers is matched in order to provide proper optical connections from transmitting to receiving fibers, wherein complex arbitrary network topologies can be implemented.

Apparatuses having a plurality of optical duplex and parallel connector adapters, such as MPO connectors and LC adapters, where some adapters connect to network equipment in a network and others to servers or processing units such as GPUs, where the apparatuses incorporate internal photonic circuit with a mesh, wherein the light path of each transmitter and receivers is matched in order to provide proper optical connections from transmitting to receiving fibers, wherein complex arbitrary network topologies can be implemented.
A multiport passive photonic circuit chip comprising multiple waveguides written in at several layers on a glass substrate, where waveguides maintain at least a minimum separation along all its trajectories, where some waveguides connect transmitting and receiving ports of an optical channel following a mesh interconnection map, where waveguides have circular cross-section shapes, with refractive index contrast is in the range of 0.2% to 2%.
