    摘要: Embodiments of a system are described. This system includes an array of chip modules (CMs) and a baseplate, where the baseplate is configured to communicate data signals via optical communication. Moreover, the array includes first CMs mechanically coupled to first alignment features on the baseplate, and adjacent second CMs mechanically coupled to second alignment features on the baseplate. In this array, a given first CM is electrically coupled to a given set of electrical proximity connectors. Additionally, the array includes bridge components, wherein a given bridge component is electrically coupled to the second SCM and another set of electrical proximity connectors, which is electrically coupled to the set of electrical proximity connectors, thereby facilitating communication of other data signals between adjacent first CMs and second CMs via electrical proximity communication. Moreover, the given bridge component is optically coupled to the baseplate, thereby facilitating optical communication of the data signals between CMs via the baseplate.

    摘要: Embodiments of an integrated circuit are described. This integrated circuit includes a clock-generator circuit configured to provide a clock signal and an optical clock path coupled to the clock-generator circuit. Note that the optical clock path is configured to distribute optical signals corresponding to the clock signal. Furthermore, note that a given optical signal has a phase which is different than phases of the other optical signals.

    摘要: A system that facilitates optical multiplexing and demultiplexing. The system includes an optical transmitter which is structured in the following way. A wavelength-splitting mechanism is coupled to the optical transmitter, which separates the wavelengths of light onto an array of input-optical-waveguide busses within the optical transmitter. An array of ring modulators within the optical transmitter is coupled to each optical-waveguide bus, wherein the input-end of a given ring modulator is coupled to a corresponding input-optical-waveguide bus. Output-optical-waveguide busses within the optical transmitter are coupled to the array of ring modulators, wherein the output-end of each ring modulator is coupled to a corresponding output-optical-waveguide bus. When a modulation signal is applied to a given ring modulator within the array of ring modulators, a specific wavelength of light is directed to the corresponding output-optical-waveguide bus.
