Optimization of an integrated optical crossbar in SOI technology for optical networks on chip

Abstract

In this paper a novel design for an optical network on chip (ONoC), enabling optical on-chip signal routing, is presented. Requirements for such a network are defined and the design of ONoC passive components is described and validated by experimental results.
