Nowadays, the interest for a large number of topics in Photonics research field is very high and of increasing importance (Reed, 2004), (Reed & Knights, 2004). A very important Silicon technology Company as Intel Corp. is developing many research programs in Photonics, with the aim to use silicon as a fundamental technological platform for all the photonic functions in any telecommunications sy...

The goal of our work is demonstrating the viability of massively parallel optical interconnect between electronic CMOS VLSI chips. Here we describe the definition and realisation of a systems architecture in which these interconnections can play a meaningful role. The architecture is a multi-FPGA system with low level optoelectronic interconnects introduced into the FPGA chips. A demonstrator r...

Performance scalability of computing systems built upon chip multiprocessors are becoming increasingly constrained by limitations in power dissipation, chip packaging, and the data throughput achievable by the interconnection networks. In particular, today’s systems based on electronic interconnects suffer from a growing memory access bottleneck as the speed at which processor-memory data can b...

For the first time, the 4- and 5-port optical routers are designed by using the West First routing algorithm for use in optical network on chip. The use of the WF algorithm has made the designed routers to provide non-blocking routing in photonic network on chip. These routers not only are based on high speed Mach-Zehnder switches(Which have a higher bandwidth and more thermal tolerance than mi...

The delay per unit length of on-chip wires, as determined by a diffusive RC-limited response and as measured relative to gate delays, approximately doubles every technology generation as wire resistances per unit length increase and gate delays decrease with scaling. Furthermore, these wire delays (D) grow quadratically with wire length, D ° RwireCwireL. Wire bandwidths, which are inversely pro...

Fiber-to-chip optical interconnects is a big challenge in silicon photonics application scenarios such as data centers and transmission systems. An edge coupler, compared to grating, appealing the of due high coupling efficiency between standard fibers (SMF-28) sub-micron wire waveguides. In this work, we proposed novel fiber–chip coupler approach with large mode size for photonic The consists ...
