Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system in which a processor chip accesses an off-chip cache via silicon photonic waveguides. The system includes a processor chip and a cache chip that are both coupled to a communications substrate. The cache chip comprises one or more cache banks that receive cache requests from a structure in the processor chip optically via a silicon photonic waveguide. More specifically, the silicon photonic waveguide is comprised of waveguides in the processor chip, the communications substrate, and the cache chip, and forms an optical channel that routes an optical signal directly from the structure to a cache bank in the cache chip via the communications substrate. Transmitting optical signals from the processor chip directly to cache banks on the cache chip facilitates reducing the wire latency of cache accesses and allowing each cache bank on the cache chip to be accessed with uniform latency.

Abstract: In the optical device, a ring-resonator modulator, having an adjustable resonance (center) wavelength, optically couples an optical signal that includes the carrier wavelength from an input optical waveguide to an output optical waveguide. A monitoring mechanism in the optical device, which is optically coupled to the output optical waveguide, monitors a performance metric of an output optical signal from the output waveguide. For example, the monitoring mechanism may monitor: an average optical power associated with the output optical signal, and/or an amplitude of the output optical signal. Moreover, control logic in the optical device adjusts the resonance wavelength based on the monitored performance metric so that the performance metric is optimized.
