Wavelength Routers for Optical Networks-on-Chip Using Optimized Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators

Wavelength Routers for Optical Networks-on-Chip Using Optimized Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators

In this paper, we propose an optical 1 × 2 passive wavelength router (λ-router), based on photonic crystal ring resonators. The router, as basic building block to be assembled into higher order routing matrices, exploits a broadband crossing between two photonic crystal wavegui...
