A Generic Optical Router Design for Photonic Network-on-Chips

five-port optical router design based on mach–zehnder switches for photonic networks-on-chip

we design and simulate a five-port optical router, which is composed of twenty mach-zehnder-based switching elements and twelve waveguide crossings for use in integrated photonic interconnection networks. we simulated and analyzed the operation of the proposed optical router from the aspects of insertion loss, power budget, q-factor and the minimum bit error ratio by use of optisystem simulator...

Optical-Router-Based Dynamically Reconfigurable Photonic Access Network

Recursive Wavelength Routed Optical Network for Optical Network-on-Chips

Abstract— The wavelength routed optical network (WRON) is a promising optical interconnection architecture that can be integrated into a System-on-Chip (SoC) with an intention to replace traditional wire-connected on-chip micro-networks which pose severe bandwidth limitations on future super large SoC chips. In this paper, we present a new recursive architecture, the Recursive Wavelength Routed...

Five-port optical router for photonic networks-on-chip.

We experimentally demonstrate a spatially non-blocking five-port optical router, which is based on microring resonators tuned through the thermo-optic effect. The characteristics of the microring-resonator-based switching element are investigated to achieve balanced performances in its two output ports. The optical router is fabricated on the SOI platform using standard CMOS processing. The eff...

Design of a Low-Latency Router Based on Virtual Output Queuing and Bypass Channels for Wireless Network-on-Chip

Wireless network-on-chip (WiNoC) is considered as a novel approach for designing future multi-core systems. In WiNoCs, wireless routers (WRs) utilize high-bandwidth wireless links to reduce the transmission delay between the long distance nodes. When the network traffic loads increase, a large number of packets will be sent into the wired and wireless links and can...
