D. A. B. Miller, "Optical Interconnects
to Silicon", IEEE J. Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics, 6,
1312-1317 (2000) This paper fives a brief
historical summary of hte development of the field of optical
interconnects to silicon integrated circuits. It starts from roots in
early optical switching phenomena, proceeds through novel
semiconductor and quantum well optical and optoelectronic physics and
devices, first proposals for optical interconnects, and optical
computing and photonic system demonstrators, to hybrid integrations of
optoelectronic and silicon circuits that may solve basic scaling
and other problems for interconnections in future information
processing and switching machines.
