Abstract: An optical switching apparatus comprises: input ports receiving respective input optical waves, each coupled to a respective beam-forming structure comprising: an input optical waveguide, an optical power distributor to distribute optical power from a mode of the optical waveguide over the respective spatial region, and a spatially distributed phase shifter to apply different transmission optical phase shifts over different portions of the respective spatial region, where the transmission optical phase shifts determine the selected transmission angle; and output ports providing respective output optical waves, each coupled to a respective beam-receiving structure comprising: a spatially distributed phase shifter to apply different reception optical phase shifts over different portions of the respective spatial region, where the reception optical phase shifts determine the selected reception angle, an optical power combiner to combine optical power from different portions of the respective spatial region into a collected a mode, and an output optical waveguide.

Abstract: A first photonic die has a first coupling edge and a first die surface, and comprises: a first waveguide extending in proximity to the first coupling edge; a portion of the first die surface forming an alignment edge substantially parallel to the first waveguide; and a first alignment feature etched into or formed adjacent to the first coupling edge. A second photonic die has a second coupling edge and a second die surface, and comprises: a second waveguide extending in proximity to the second coupling edge; a portion of the second die surface configured to form a receptacle sized to constrain a position of the alignment edge; and a second alignment feature etched into or formed adjacent to the second coupling edge and configured to enable alignment with the first alignment feature when the first photonic die and the second photonic die are substantially aligned with each other.
