  • Employing binary orthogonal phase codes to address the SLM.
  • Designing a computer-generated hologram (CGH) with iterative discrete on-axis encoding for directional light routing.

    • Main Results:

    • The CGH-SLM method achieves significantly higher connection efficiencies compared to previous thin optical element-based methods.
    • Simulation results show feasibility for switch sizes from 1x2 to 1x8.
    • Connection efficiencies exceeding 1/√N (where N is the number of destinations) are attainable.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed CGH-SLM method offers a high-efficiency, programmable optical interconnect system.
    • The dynamic nature is enabled by the SLM's ability to rapidly change phase.
    • This approach leverages current technology for fast reconfiguration and improved performance.
