ABSTRACT:
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.
