Abstract
The operation of an integrated silicon-photonics multi-microring
network-on-chip (NoC) is experimentally demonstrated in terms of
transmission spectra and bit error rates at 10 Gb/s. The integrated NoC
consists of 8 thermally tuned microrings coupled to a central ring. The
switching functionalities are tested with concurrent transmissions at both
the same and different wavelengths. Experimental results validate the
analytical model based on the transfer matrix method. BER measurements
show performance up to 10−9
at 10 Gb/s with limited cro
