Abstract :
Suggests various ways in which conventional silicon electronics might be used in an MCM daughterboard configuration to support optical interconnection modules for MCM-to-MCM optical interconnections. The emphasis is on achieving a synergistic merging of silicon electronic functions and III-V optoelectronics within a compact module that appears to be an electronic component at one end and appears to be a reliable optical interconnection component at the other end
