Abstract

In this paper, we apply the Morris screening method to a microring-based Optical Network-on-Chip GWOR router with 4-input and 4-output ports, to assess how a random shift of the resonances of its switching nodes may affect the performance of this device. Results show that the working conditions of this component could be strongly influenced by the accuracy of the fabrication process.
