چکیده
Here we benchmark different photonic interconnect technology options and contrast them to hybridization assuming plasmonics (photonics) for active (passive) elements, respectively. Our results show superior latency and power consumption performance for hybridization. OCIS codes: (200.4650) Optical interconnects, (250.5403) Plasmonics, (230.0250) Optoelectronics, (250.5300) Photonic integrated circuits

Dynamic Management Policies for Exploiting Hybrid Photonic-Electronic NoCs
Nanophotonics promises to solve the scalability problems of current electrical interconnects thanks to its low sensitivity to distance in terms of latency and energy consumption. Before this technology reaches maturity, hybrid photonic-electronic networks will be a viable alternative. Ideally, an ordinary electrical mesh and a ringbased photonic network should cooperate to minimize overall late...
متن کاملTowards Chip-Scale Plasmonic Interconnects
In the multi and many core era, communication is crucial to the system performance. Therefore, network-on-chip (NoC) approaches were proposed to regularize the design of on-chip communication. Nanophotonic interconnects have been proposed in the recent few years as a replacement of global metal interconnect because of their almost distance-independent power consumption and low-latency and high ...
متن کاملTowards Energy-Efficient Photonic Interconnects
Silicon photonics have emerged as a promising solution to meet the growing demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency, and energy-efficient on-chip and off-chip communication in many-core processors. However, current silicon-photonic interconnect designs for many-core processors waste a significant amount of power because (a) lasers are always on, even during periods of interconnect inactivity, and...

متن کاملHybrid nanoplasmonic-photonic resonators for efficient coupling of light to single plasmonic nanoresonators.
We show that efficient coupling of lightwave is possible to an individual plasmonic nanoresonator in a hybrid plasmonic-photonic resonator structure. The proposed hybrid structure consists of a photonic microresonator strongly coupled to a plasmonic nanoresonator. The theory and simulation results show that more than 73% of the input power in the waveguide can be coupled to the localized resona...
