Title :
A scaled CMOS platform for photonics
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
CMOS photonics applications include medium reach links for data center backhaul, short reach links for optical backplanes, optical implementations of peripheral hardware bus (PCI-type), memory-to-core links, and core-to-core links. Here we consider one particular application - memory-to-core links required for the continued scaling of multicore microprocessors.
