Abstract
Development in photonic integrated circuits (PICs) provides a promising solution for on-chip optical computation and communication. PICs provides the best alternative to traditional networks-on-chip (NoC) circuits which face serious challenges such as bandwidth, latency and power consumption. Integrated optics have substantiated the ability to accomplish low-power communication and low-power data processing at ultra-high speeds. In this work, we propose a new architecture for NoC, which might improve overall on-chip network performance by reducing its power consumption, providing large channel capacity for communication, decreasing latency among nodes and reducing hop count. Some of the key features of the proposed architecture are to reduce the waveguide network for communication among nodes, and this architecture can be used as a brick to construct other architectures. In this architecture, we use micro-ring resonator (MRR) and it is used to provide a high bandwidth connection among nodes with a lesser number of waveguide networks. Furthermore, results show that this architecture of PICs provides better performance in terms of low communication latency, low power consumption, high bandwidth. It also provides acceptable FSR value, FWHR value, finesse value and Q-factor of micro-ring resonators used for the design of MRR in this architecture.
