光纤通信提供了高速、减少切换时间、低错误概率和千兆位传输容量的组合。它在广域网中得到了广泛的应用，在分布式处理领域也受到了广泛的关注。电光技术的最新进展使光通信成为一种有前途的网络选择，以满足高性能计算/通信应用对高信道带宽和低通信延迟的日益增长的需求[10]，[21]。光互连的独特特性对体系结构的自由度和约束以及系统配置和复杂性有着重要的影响。预计光技术将彻底改变互连方案的格局。
Fiber optic communication offers a combination of high speed, decreasing switching time, low error probability, and gigabit transmission capacity. It has been extensively used in wide-area networks and has received much attention in distributed processing community as well. Recent progress in electro-optic technologies has made optical communication a promising networking choice to meet the increasing demands for high channel bandwidth and low communication latency by high-performance computing/communication applications [10], [21]. Тhe unique characteristics of optical interconnects have significant implications on architectural freedom and constraints as well as system configuration and complexity. It is expected that optical technology will drastically change the landscape of interconnection schemes.
