Crosstalk analysis of asynchronous optical chip interconnects with direct detection

We provide a crosstalk analysis of optical interconnects via single-mode waveguides with asynchronous transmission. Our crosstalk model is general and can be used for any type of waveguide network. The analysis takes into account the coupling-induced crosstalks between adjacent waveguides, the laser linewidth, the shot noise and the dark current generated by the photodiode, and the postdetection thermal noise. A comparison to synchronous transmission is also provided.<
