.Photonics-to-electronics integration for optical interconnects in the early 21st century[J].Optoelectronics Letters,2006,2(3):163-168 Photonics-to-electronics integration for optical interconnects in the early 21st century Ashok V. Krishnamoorthy Sun Microsystems Abstract:       We discuss the technical rationale, challenges, and potential for achieving “optics-to-the chip” via the intimate integration of photonics components such as lasers, detectors, and modulators with VLSI electronics. We review the progress made towards commercializing this technology for high-density optical transceivers and switching products. Hits: 3594 Download times: 182 View Full Text    Download reader
