Abstract

A packaged photonic integrated network-on-chip (NoC) based on multi-microrings with a controller and scheduler implemented in FPGA is demonstrated under dynamic packet-switched traffic. Multiple transmission scenarios have been investigated, comprising up to three interfering signals at the same wavelength. The dynamic switching exhibits a power penalty of approximately 0.5 dB at a BER of ${10}^{-9}$. The presence of up to three interferers induces a power penalty below 1 dB.
