Abstract
By systematically examining the tree of possibilities for optoelectronic computing architectures and
offering arguments that allow one to prune suboptimal branches of this tree, I come to the conclusion that
electronic circuit planes interconnected optically according to regular connection patterns represent an
alternative that is reasonably close to the best possible, as defined by physical limitations. Thus I
propose that this foundation architecture should provide a basis for future research and development in
this area.

An optical microcantilever with integrated grating coupler
Olcum, Selim; Karademir, Ertuğrul; Taş. Vahdettin; Akça, İmran; Kocabaş, Aşkın; Atalar, Abdullah; Aydınlı, Aydınlı (IEEE, 2009-06)In this paper, we have fabricated an optical cantilever with an integrated grating coupler. We have used an inexpensive and repeatable method for integrating the grating to the silicon cantilever with a microfabrication ... -
Dimensioning shared-per-node recirculating fiber delay line buffers in an optical packet switch
Akar, N.; Gunalay, Y. (Elsevier, 2013)Optical buffering based on fiber delay lines (FDLs) has been proposed as a means for contention resolution in an optical packet switch. In this article, we propose a queuing model for feedback-type shared-per-node recirculating ... -
