Archivio Istituzionale della RicercaThis letter investigates the use of optical microring resonators as switching elements (SEs) in large optical interconnection fabrics. We introduce a simple physical-layer model to assess scalability in crossbar- and Benes-based architectures.We also propose a new dilated SE that improves scalability to build fabrics of several terabits per second of aggregate capacity.

Abstract
This letter investigates the use of optical microring resonators as switching elements (SEs) in large optical interconnection fabrics. We introduce a simple physical-layer model to assess scalability in crossbar- and Benes-based architectures.We also propose a new dilated SE that improves scalability to build fabrics of several terabits per second of aggregate capacity.
