    摘要: An apparatus comprises a given multimode optical waveguide extending in a given direction. The apparatus also comprises another multimode optical waveguide extending in another direction and intersecting with the given multimode waveguide. The apparatus further comprises a bi-stable optical switch positioned at the intersection of the given multimode optical waveguide and the another multimode optical waveguide to redirect a multimode optical signal transmitted on the given multimode optical waveguide to the another optical waveguide in a redirection state and pass the multimode optical signal transmitted on the given multimode optical waveguide across the intersection of the given multimode optical waveguide and the another optical waveguide in a pass-through state. The bi-stable optical switch can comprise a gap extending diagonally from a given corner of the intersection of the given and the another optical multimode waveguides to an opposing corner of the intersection.
