We propose 3D mesh-based optical network-on-chip (ONoC) based on a novel low-cost 6×6 optical router, and quantitatively analyze thermal effects on the 3D ONoC. Evaluation results show that with the traditional thermal tuning technique using microheater, the average power efficiency of the 3D ONoC i...
