Modeling Free-Space Optical k-ary n-Cube Wormhole Networks

This paper presents an optical interconnect model for k-ary n-cube network topologies based on freespace analysis. This model integrates relevant parameters inherent to optics with traditional network parameters to make it applicable for performance evaluation of parallel processor optical network designs. We apply this model to a free-space diffractive-reflective optical interconnect design and compare our results with electronic-based networks.
