In this study, an integrated dielectric Vivaldi antenna is presented, which exhibits the same gain performance for both TE and TM input polarizations. Point-to-point on-chip communication links between two Vivaldi antennas are analyzed, and the effect of wave polarization on the link performances is numerically studied. The results show that TM polarization, with suitable cladding layer thickness and refractive index, is affected by lower propagation losses.
Optical on-chip wireless interconnection is an emerging technology that aims to overcome the communication bottleneck in computing architectures and in which multiple processing units are exploited for data-intensive applications. In this work, we propose an integrated dielectric Vivaldi antenna, which exhibits the same gain performances for both TE and TM input polarizations. Point-to-point on-chip communication links between two Vivaldi antennas are analyzed. Moreover, the effect of wave polarization on the link performances is numerically studied in on-chip multilayer structures in connection with the multilayer characteristic parameters, i.e., cladding layer thickness and refractive index. The numerical results show that, with the same antenna gain, TM polarization is affected by lower propagation losses when suitable cladding layer thickness and refractive index are considered.
