Open Problems<br />

• Efficient transmitter and receiver components<br />

• high speed, low power, and small feature-size electro-optical<br />

modulators and photo-detector receivers need to be developed<br />

• Integrated on-chip light source<br />

• such as the Indium Phosphide Hybrid Silicon Laser from Intel and<br />

UCSB [2008]<br />

• Polymer waveguide<br />

• prohibitive manufacturing cost and complexity<br />

• require suitable modulators<br />

• Temperature management<br />

• OIs sensitive to temperature variations<br />

• active or passive optical control method required to maintain stable<br />

device operation
