Abstract
An optical absorption modulator which reflects the incident radiation instead of transmitting it, and doubles the absorption path length in doing so, is suggested. The usefulness of such a configuration is demonstrated by outlining a global optical interconnect network for VLSI circuits, which can be implemented if such a modulator is available.Keywords
