JOURNAL OF SELECTED TOPICS IN QUANTUM ELECTRONICS on
Packaging and Integration technologies for Optical MEMS/NEMS, Optoelectronic and Nanophotonic Devices
Submission Deadline: July1, 2010
It is increasingly difficult to meet the high-bandwidth density, low-latency, and low-energy communication requirements of current and future terascale computing systems using conventional electrical interconnects. Optical devices and optical interconnects can overcome these limitations. A vast amount of work is being carried out in the development of optical interconnects, optical PCBs and chip-to-chip as well as on-chip optical interconnections. In order to reduce the footprint and cost of the optical interconnects, the size of the optical components needs to be reduced and more functionality must be integrated within one component. Silicon wire, plasmonic waveguides and photonic crystal structures are just examples of approaches to reach these goals. Coupling these tiny structures to the external world, which is dominated by optical fiber, presents a challenge, especially since the solutions need to be cost effective and manufacturable. As optical packages become more compact and dense, new problems arise in reconciling the I/O bandwidth, power delivery and cooling needs. If wafer integration is the pathway to low cost integrated optical modules, wafer-level testing of optical CMOS ICs would be a necessary testing tool. IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics invites manuscript submissions in the area of optical MEMS/NEMS, optoelectronic and nanophotonic packaging and integration technologies.
