Ring versus bus: A BER comparison of photonic integrated networks-on-chip

Silicon-photonics bus and ring networks-on-chip are evaluated in terms of transfer function and bit error rates at 10Gb/s, demonstrating that the ring architecture can be effectively used with physical layer performance similar to the bus.
