The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

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”
Silicon-based on-chip multiplexing technologies and devices for Peta-bit optical interconnects (2014, background): “In order to maximize their performance, a very large bandwidth is needed for the cores to access data stored in local and distant caches as well as in off-chip main memory [1, 2].”
Silicon Photonics: The Next Fabless Semiconductor Industry (2013, neutral): “Future applications will include board-to-board, short-reach connections on the scale of USB and perhaps eventually core-to-core communications [19].”
