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.

片上光子网络的现代架构

光子集成电路 (PIC) 的发展为片上光计算和通信提供了有前景的解决方案。PIC 为传统的片上网络 (NoC) 电路提供了最佳替代方案，这些电路面临着带宽、延迟和功耗等严峻挑战。集成光学已经证实了以超高速完成低功耗通信和低功耗数据处理的能力。在这项工作中，我们提出了一种新的 NoC 架构，它可以通过降低功耗、为通信提供大信道容量、减少节点之间的延迟和减少跳数来提高整体片上网络性能。所提出架构的一些关键特征是减少节点之间通信的波导网络，并且这种架构可以作为砖块来构建其他架构。在此架构中，我们使用微环谐振器 (MRR)，它用于在具有较少波导网络的节点之间提供高带宽连接。此外，结果表明，这种 PIC 架构在低通信延迟、低功耗、高带宽方面提供了更好的性能。它还提供了可接受的 FSR 值、FWHR 值、精细度值和用于该架构中 MRR 设计的微环谐振器的 Q 因子。结果表明，这种 PIC 架构在低通信延迟、低功耗、高带宽方面提供了更好的性能。它还提供了可接受的 FSR 值、FWHR 值、精细度值和用于该架构中 MRR 设计的微环谐振器的 Q 因子。结果表明，这种 PIC 架构在低通信延迟、低功耗、高带宽方面提供了更好的性能。它还提供了可接受的 FSR 值、FWHR 值、精细度值和用于该架构中 MRR 设计的微环谐振器的 Q 因子。
