Abstract Integrated photonics offers attractive solutions for realizing combinational logic for high-performance computing. The integrated photonic chips can be further optimized using multiplexing techniques such as wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). In this paper, we propose a WDM-based electronic–photonic switching network (EPSN) to realize the functions of the binary decoder and the multiplexer, which are fundamental elements in microprocessors for data transportation and processing. We experimentally demonstrate its practicality by implementing a 3–8 (three inputs, eight outputs) switching network operating at 20 Gb/s. Detailed performance analysis and performance enhancement techniques are also given in this paper.

用于高速数据处理和传输的基于波分复用 (WDM) 的集成电子光子交换网络 (EPSN)

摘要 集成光子学为实现高性能计算的组合逻辑提供了有吸引力的解决方案。可以使用波分复用 (WDM) 等复用技术进一步优化集成光子芯片。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于 WDM 的电子-光子交换网络 (EPSN) 来实现二进制解码器和多路复用器的功能，它们是微处理器中用于数据传输和处理的基本元素。我们通过实施以 20 Gb/s 运行的 3-8（三个输入，八个输出）交换网络来实验证明其实用性。本文还给出了详细的性能分析和性能增强技术。
