Abstract:
Provided is an optical network structure. To configure an optical network structure between hundreds or more of cores in a CPU, intersection between waveguides does not occur, and thus, the optical network structure enables two-way communication between all the cores without an optical switch disposed in an intersection point. The present invention enables a single chip optical network using a silicon photonics optical element, and a CPU chip configured with hundreds or thousands of cores can be developed.
