description Insertion loss and crosstalk noise will influence network performance severely, especially in optical networks-on-chip (ONoCs) when wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology is employed. In this paper, an insertion loss and crosstalk analysis model for WDM-based torus ONoCs is proposed to evaluate the network performance. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed methods, numerical simulations of the WDM-based torus ONoCs with optimized crossbar and crux optical routers are presented, and the worst-case link and network scalability are also revealed. The numerical simulation results demonstrate that the scale of the WDM-based torus ONoCs with the crux optical router can reach 6 × 5 or 5 × 6 before the noise power exceeds the signal power, and the network scale is 5 × 4 in the worst case when the optimized crossbar router is employed. Additionally, the simulated results of OptiSystem reveal that WDM-based torus ONoCs have better signal transmission quality when using the crux optical router, which is consistent with previous numerical simulations. Furthermore, compared with the single-wavelength network, WDM-based ONoCs have a great performance improvement in end-to-end (ETE) delay and throughput according to the simulated results of OPNET. The proposed network analysis method provides a reliable theoretical basis and technical support for the design and performance optimization of ONoCs.
