Planar micro-optics allow 2-dimensional optical device arrays located on a wafer scale integrated circuit to be interconnected in a compact and vibrationally robust configuration. We describe three types of planar optical configurations for massively parallel optical interconnections in photonic switching networks: crossover photonic switching network, backboard optical signal distribution, and high speed packet address detection. We also propose the laser beam writing as a useful technique to fabricate most of passive micro-optic components of the planar micro-optics even with arbitrary phase profiles.
