Abstract

In this paper we introduce a novel modular electro-optically pluggable integrated photonic subsystem allowing the functionality of different photonic integrated circuits (PICs) to be combined in different configurations. Dynamic Inline Pluggable Photonic Subsystem (DIPPS™) are being deployed on two European projects, DYNAMOS and ADOPTION, which develop WDM switching architectures for AI and data center networks, and the UK quantum project EQUINOX, which is developing an eco-system for distributed quantum nodes at the physical layer.
