Photonic technology – photonic link

Page 7: Hybrid Optoelectric On-chip Interconnect Networks

Silicon photonic link – Coupler

7

Coupler loss = 1 dB

Page 8: Hybrid Optoelectric On-chip Interconnect Networks

Silicon photonic link – Ring modulator

8

Modulator insertion loss = 0 – 1 dB

Energy spent in E-O conversion = 25 – 90 fJ/bt

(independent of link length)

Page 9: Hybrid Optoelectric On-chip Interconnect Networks

Silicon photonic link – Waveguide

9

Waveguide loss = 0 – 5 dB/cm

Page 10: Hybrid Optoelectric On-chip Interconnect Networks

Silicon photonic link – Ring filter, photodetector

10

Filter drop loss = 1.5 dB

Photodetector loss = 0.1 dB

Energy spent in O-E conversion = 25 - 60 fJ/bt

(independent of link length)

Receiver sensitivity = -20 dBm

Silicon photonic link – WDM Through ring loss = 1e-

4 – 1e-2 dB/ring

• Dense WDM (128 λ/wg, 10 Gbps/λ) improves bandwidth density (30x!!)

Silicon photonic link – Energy cost

• E-O-E conversion cost – 50-150 fJ/bt (independent of length)

• Thermal tuning energy (increases with ring count)• External laser power (dependent on losses in

photonic devices)

Power-Bandwidth tradeoff

CMeshX2Channel width = 128b

PClosChannel width = 64b

PClosChannel width = 128b

Off-chip laser power = 3.3 WComparable on-chip power for local traffic

Page 21: Hybrid Optoelectric On-chip Interconnect Networks

Problems and Motivations

• A mesh-like topology is highly optimized for local communication and hard to beat– Solution: use a underlying mesh topology

• A fully photonic network has higher power numbers on low utilization – Solution: make the photonic channels to be

turned off at low utilization

21

Page 22: Hybrid Optoelectric On-chip Interconnect Networks

What Do We Need?

• An electrical network which connects all-to-all even when the laser is turned off

• A photonic network which (when turned on) provides benefits to the base electrical mesh

Conclusion

• Maybe we do not need to shut down photonics on low utilization

• In order for photonics to be effective we need better devices– There is no power advantage in using photonics if

we can’t get to aggressive– We do win in bandwidth density but area is cheap
