Photonic Networks-on-Chip for Future Generations of Chip Multiprocessors (2008, background): “These tremendous gains in power efficiencies for optical modulators and receivers are driven by the nanoscale device footprints and corresponding capacitances, as well as by the tight proximity of electronic drivers enabled by the monolithic CMOS platform integration [15], [16], [17], [18], [19].”
High-speed ultracompact buried heterostructure photonic-crystal laser with 13 fJ of energy consumed per bit transmitted (2010, background): “On-chip photonic networks integrated with silicon CMOS have been widely investigated and analysed with a view to overcoming the limits on bandwidth and power consumptio”
