Abstract :
Optical interconnects at progressively shorter distances and higher communications densities demand novel optics and very low operating energies. Optoelectronics with femtojoule or lower energies and compact custom and self-designing optics may enable the lower energy per operation and higher bandwidth density required for continued scaling of information processing, with significant potential impact for systems. Novel approaches will be summarized.
