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 cro10 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
