Abstract
A universal method for constructing an N-port strictly non-blocking optical router based on 2×2 Mach-Zehnder optical switch for photonic networks-on-chip is proposed. By analyzing the routing table of the N-port optical router, the relationship between the optical links of port m→port n and port m→port n−1 is indicated, as well as the relationships between the block matrices of the N-port optical router. The strictly non-blocking property of the N-port optical router is proved by the contradiction method. The scale of the N-port optical router can be increased with the improvement of the performance of the Mach-Zehnder optical switch.
