Possible actions of an agent in a PCN environment. At each location, the agent can take 12 possible actions. Depending on the action, the agent can remain on the same photonic chip or move to an adjacent one.

We present a novel photonic chip design for high bandwidth four-degree optical switches that support high-dimensional switching mechanisms with low insertion loss and low crosstalk in a low power consumption level and a short switching time. Such four-degree photonic chips can be used to build an integrated full-grid Photonic-on-Chip Network (PCN)....
