Abstract
Crosstalk noise is a potential issue for optical router used by optical network-on-chip (ONoC).The huge crosstalk directly degrades the performance in optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) at optical router level, and greatly limits the scalability at ONoC level. This paper proposes ILCOR, a low-crosstalk optical router using multi-layer coupled MR. The use of multi-layer coupled MR enables less waveguide crossings which are closely related to crosstalk. As results show, the average OSNR for ILCOR increases by 1.7x and 6.7x compared with Cygnus and Crossbar, respectively.
