光互连在大规模数字计算、交换和路由系统中起着不可或缺的作用。作者描述了一条通往未来基于硅光子中间体的多芯片模块的道路，它将数十个芯片拼接在一起，形成一个密集而高效的通信基础设施。他们回顾了这种“宏芯片”的指导设计原则，并描述了其典型的能量、损耗和面积预算。
Optical interconnects play an integral role in large-scale digital computing, switching, and routing systems. The authors describe a path toward future many-chip modules based on silicon photonic interposers that stitch together tens of chips in a dense and efficient communication infrastructure. They review the guiding design principles for this "macrochip" and describe its canonical energy, loss, and area budgets.
