This books focuses on recent break-throughs in the development of a
variety of photonic devices, serving distances ranging from mm to
many km, together with their electronic counter-parts, e.g. the
drivers for lasers, the amplifiers following the detectors and most
important, the relevant advanced VLSI circuits. It explains that as
a consequence of the increasing dominance of optical interconnects
for high performance workstation clusters and supercomputers their
complete design has to be revised. This book thus covers for the
first time the whole variety of interdependent subjects
contributing to green photonics and electronics, serving
communication and energy harvesting. Alternative approaches to
generate electric power using organic photovoltaic solar cells,
inexpensive and again energy efficient in production are
summarized. In 2015, the use of the internet consumed 5-6% of the
raw electricity production in developed countries. Power
consumption increases rapidly and without some transformational
change will use, by the middle of the next decade at the latest,
the entire electricity production. This apocalyptic outlook led to
a redirection of the focus of data center and HPC developers from
just increasing bit rates and capacities to energy efficiency. The
high speed interconnects are all based on photonic devices. These
must and can be energy efficient but they operate in an electronic
environment and therefore have to be considered in a wide scope
that also requires low energy electronic devices, sophisticated
circuit designs and clever architectures. The development of the
next generation of high performance exaFLOP computers suffers from
the same problem: Their energy consumption based on present device
generations is essentially prohibitive.
